Steam Status going nuts!

Holy shit, there releasing Half-Life 2 early! :p

Or it could be the last pre-load for Half-Life 2.
 
could be the SDK...or something else. But valve never updates this early in the morning. It's 3:47 am in the west coast right now..
 
omgosh it's hl2!

I'M PLAYING IT NOW!! OMGWOWZ0R!!!1!111eveloneoneelevn
 
That's definate update patterns, I wonder what it could be though. We have all the HL2 things except for executables, maybe it's the leftover maps, models and sounds...
Or it could be HL:S or DOD:S
 
Well...i just restarted Steam and its updating...
This must be new stuff...cause i had the SDK update yesterday running...
But its only small Steam update not any games or such...
Or maybe it screwed my update yesterday and now its just done it again...and this pattern means something bigger...try if yours will update too ...
 
We will all see sooner or later.
 
wow, thats huge!
And it's new since the last update (the one on Nov 3rd), it seems too big to be a CSS update as that would only be a few maps and models (and they won't be releasing much, if anything till december).
And it seems too early for the SDK - I got the imression it would be at the earliest a couple of days before HL2,
that only leaves Half-Life Source, and DOD:S
woooot :)
 
It's got to be the SDK pre-load. It's too big to be anything less.
 
I also think that it's the SDK. Since all the game preloads been done, that's all that is left.
 
SDK pre-load or else it could be HL:Source or DOD:Source or an early release of HL2.
 
My bet is localize data for HL2.

We're going to start preloading the localized assets next.

Make sure that your Steam client is set to Spanish if you want to
preload those assets.

Since the preload doesn't include localization (because it doesn't,
right?), will those files be available the moment it's unlocked on
Steam?

PS: He knows I'm spanish because I mentioned it several times in the email, those parts of my email are irrelevant, his reply is untouched, though.

Wondering..How do you know a 'big' pre-load is on it's way just by looking at the status?
 
Actually its probably the patches, theres been 3 in a short time
 
I'd be surprised if they preloaded the SDK, because how many people would need it? Why not just make it available to download for those that want it?
 
You usually know a big pre-load is on the way shortly before eating a bowl of chili.
 
And what the hell are we going to get? SDK whoopee. How about more CSs patches. WHOOPEE DOO. How about a patch to stop steam from doing somthing it broke last patch. YEEE HAAWWW.

I don't care about these updates. The game is coming on the 16th everything else is just a waste of my time.
 
hmm maybe its just me but the sdk dont mean much to me because i will never create anything of any use on it

Negative Nancy :rolling:
 
the bandwith is dropping again it was at 10 thousand something its down 9 thousand now
 
i hope in one of these updates they release another redone CS map before HL2 is made available.. i know its wishful thinking tho :(

yep, its far to big for HL2 release - that'll be as small as poss to reduce the server load of every pc gamer in the world downloading at once
 
i does...that makes for 3 in the past 24 hours....1 CS:S and 2 steam.
