release scenario #15

[bouche]

I'm watching all of this speculation and wondering how valve will keep everyone happy if they do plan on doing the full release in November?

If they are release retail and steam versions on the same date, and some claim the boxed version will be in mid-november, it's still possible to release the full version of half-life 2 in mid-november as well.

I'm wondering if they will do a sort of 'taste-test' release on sept. 30th, which could be the same version that is boxed with ATI cards.

Remember Half-Life Day One?

I'm not speculating a delay so much as I'm seeing a way that it could potentially be delayed, yet still find a way to make everyone that's waiting for it happy.

Would you be happy with a short, fun, eye-candy filled version on Sept 30th?

I think I'd be fine with it...just to see all the new effects on my new Radeon 9800 pro! I haven't seen or played anything to the level of HL2 movies.

They wont come out with a taste test. They'll come out with a demo, but that will be after the release. Like they already said. Althought I dont disagree with your idea, it could be cool. No I wouldnt be happy with a candy pretty verson little test of HL2 on Sept. I want all or nothing. And I'll wait for the whole game as long as I have to

Wow, a cs player actually called the Desert Eagle a Desert Eagle and not a deagle.

desert eagles are worthless.

If you really wanna find an interesting way to commit suicide. Head on over to the Vivendi plant...

Half-Life, which is being developed by Valve Software, is one of the next-generation of 3D action games to sport advanced AI. However, the game’s release date has consistently slipped, and it was originally supposed to ship for Christmas of last year.

Look at the 'and it was originally supposed to ship for Christmas of last year.'

doesnt that just HINT at what could happen this time? I mean, they delayed it 9 months for half life, how can we expect absolutely no delay on this one? Im not saying that it WILL be delayed, and heh, i definitely hope it isnt, but there is the possibility, and it's happened in the past, so it can happen now too.

Have you read the story of HL? They completely redid most of the game when they delayed it. It was their first game ever.

Yeah, but I doubt they'll start over again with the engine from scratch like they redid the game with HL1.

Counter-Strike is useless. And it's completely unrealistic. RavenShield is teh leetest!!!

Compare the two:
Ravenshield- 57 different weapons that are all customizable, graphics that kick CS's ass, gameplay that is accurate and realistic, many more different gameplay types(coop, team adversarial, etc...), larger maps, realistic player animations and a realistic grenade.

CounterStrike- 25 weapons, A shield, outdated graphics(the game was cool when it came out, but now it looks like crap), inaccurate gameplay and damage, 3 types of gameplay and only two are really played, small maps, unrealistic player animations and a nuclear grenade.(really, its a nuclear grenade. check it out for yourself, look at the explosion of the nade in cs and the nade in RvS. The cs nade is a friggin' nuke.)


Now when CS2 comes out, i'm going to play that for sure. I loved CS but then it got old. Now RvS is my new love as far as tactical squad based shooters. Until then......
