restart steam people, half life 2 pre load

Could be pure speculation on my behalf. But I don't think it's a very good Business idea, to leave the MAIN HL2 maps sitting on someones computer for too long before releasing the actual game :|

We all know people can get into the encrypted files and check em out. So why potentially ruin the game with a preload like this?
 
I'm guessing the last things we need to d/l are maybe some .dll files and the main executable...but then again what do I know?
 
the files are encrypted, noone has been able to decrypt a working game yet. shouldnt worry about it

Well if I HAD a gf I'd probably put HL2 before her (I am an ass that way).

"Dinner? Oh, I've got to go to a study session with Gord---I mean Anthony."

It's nice that they've sent us that, it means that the game maps are done and fully ready to be explored and played :) What else is left to preload? I mean, there can only be so much to download.

I really don't know what else is left except for the .dlls and whatnot. Everything major seems to be in place. Hmm................ HL2 me thinks will be here before November.
 
Dude you just score the big one! NICE INFO!

Do you guys know what this means holy crap. guys when we preloaded the css maps how long was it before release? OMGOMOGMOGMG I CAN FEEL IT>

why november when it could come out next week or this weekend...forget november!!!
 
heh, well my gf lets me play games, so i don;t need to worry about her complaining about me playing.
 
hahaha, that sounds like something id do, but replace snacks with hl2

lol ****ing brilliant episode. "spicy mustard heh heh!!"
 
was ther not a rumour that it would be released next week?something with greg coomer? maybe this preload tonight was why he said "not like it matters"
 
My preload hasn't even started yet, im in the UK, maybe we get them alittle slower. Steam has recognised there is one and put the percentage down but its not downloading anything!
 
ppl think they are gona be able to play the game?? wtf
