You know whats funny?,i work in retail and i got this magazine only retail companys get,mvc or something,had a vinvendi number in it,i called em and asked if they have any idea when hl2 was coming out (bare in mind this was about 5 weeks ago) the man laughed and said "there is no way it will see this side of christmas" and i just said thanks and put the phone down...

I think i'll quote a statement that i said in another thread:
Remember people: there has been NO statement saying that the game has been delayed 6 months, and there was never one like it. The statement said that, under the contract that VU & Valve have, VU could delay the game up to six months before they'd have to release it. It'd be just stupid for them to delay it 6 months though.
Like the previous post said, i think it's obvious that there were a few bugs or things in the first RC that Valve is currently working on fixing. Like said before, the recent update to CS:S AFTER the first RC was sent is evidence of this. VU wouldn't delay this past the holidays, that's what i'm sure of. I'm 99.999999....% sure that we'll see a release date before the holidays.

If the game goes gold and Vivendi is slow on a release date (ie within a week of going gold) then I'll be worried.

Don't let the door hit you on your way out while you go to play Homo...I mean Halo 2.

That's fine - we could do without you anyway

Vivendi NEEDS THE MONEY. If they delay it they could go bankrupt! And if they do delay it, and valve WINS this court case then vivendi sure as hell will probaly go backrupt. Ecspecially considering after this i highly doubt valve will do shit with vivendi and the deal with activision wiill take place and they can be valves new publisher.
A better publisher!

Ok but if the game review is coming out soon for all these magazines how the hell could it be delayed for another 6 months ? Thats crazy, a review comes out for a game and half a year later the game comes out ? I dont think so, unless of course the reviews dont come out but they were sure they would have a review in their next issue.
vivendi isnt going to go bankrupt... they are a huge european company... but it would be really stupid to delay it just because they are angry at Valve... they need to release it when it can be and patch up any differences so that when HL3 and other valve games are produced then vivendi can have a share of the profits.... because people arent going to stop buying games at stores.

We have been waiting for a while, but not five years. Unless of coures after Half-Life you took it upon yourself to assume there would be a sequel and began hyping yourself up until a year and a half ago when it was formally announced/unveiled. Anyhow, of course, this Vivendi crap is bullshit, but, do weknow all the facts yet? This has been going on since 2002, and we all just found out about it(whole lawsuit thing) a week ago...
