LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Bad news for video gamers with itchy trigger fingers: alien-hunting season has been
delayed.

Vivendi Universal Games said on Friday that the developers of "Half-Life 2," the most heavily anticipated video
game of 2003, will not release the game on Tuesday as originally planned.

A spokeswoman for VUG, a unit of Vivendi Universal (V.N) (EAUG.PA) said developer Valve Software issued a
statement on Tuesday saying the game would not make Sept. 30 but was still targeted for an unspecified holiday
release............

god, i wish they'd fill us in, don't they understand that the confusion is the source of the anger, not the wait
 
Why is it always Other pages who report for Vivendi and valve ?
 
You must copy n' paste the whole link and not click it.only the first part of it is clickable.
Another " when it's done " statement.....like doom 3

EVERYONE mass e-mail Vivendi demanding they stop trying to pull their crap!

If anything, it'll crash their e-mail servers. Hmph.

Hopefully Halloween.. but that is wishful thinking on my part.
 
when is thanksgiving? i'm in the UK and have absolutely no freaking idea what thanksgiving is. so when is it?
 
they will DELAY the announcement saying why it is DELAYED
 
Sounds like fun. Playing HL2 while eating turkey and mashed potatoes. Sounds better than pop and doritos.
 
Okay, remember when I say I didn't hate Valve and I was only disappointed. Well, I'm still disappointed with Valve and I freaking hate Vivendi. I'll bet their the culprit behind this tragic occurence (HL2 is important, okay?). Bloody Vivendi - may they all die of greed.

Thanksgiving is a holiday celebrating the English taking over the native americans land, and then calling it their own.

You should read up on another holidy, the one where the UK army banned the catholic holiday in Northern Ireland.
 
Yeah, you beat a couple of regiments from a country that has their army scattered over the world with the help of the french. Good going :)
Do you seriously believe if we wanted to keep America that badly we would have lost it to a bunch of traitors? The seventh circle of hell is reserved for pirates and betrayers. :D
 
Hahahaha, you're still bitter!?! T'was just a wee joke, all in good fun!
 
Yes :( People are always bitter when they lose their Empire :(
 
alien hunting season has been delayed HAHA! im an ALIEN HUNTER!
 
Best case scenario: valvE are playing a nasty trick and it comes out perfect on the 30th ;)

Worst case scenario: A killer gopher ate the hard-drives at the Valve offices.

It was all a conspiracy that was orchestrated by the Freemasons! No, really. All of Americas symbols from that period are either Freemason or Illuminati, if you don't believe me then go read up about all of our countries earliy leaders... you'll find that they were Freemasons. Crusader has a VERY good point. The British could have destroyed us if they wanted to, but they didn't. Why? Because it was in the best interests of the Freemason organization. There are many books that have been written on this subject. It's not what we're taught because it wouldn't be patriotic. Americans always need to feel like we've kicked the shit out of everyone that's gotten in our way, otherwise we might feel weak and threatened. Wow, I just realized that this is not off-topic chat, so I'll shut up.

Tribes 2. And it should NOT have come out then because it wasn't finished but Sierra forced them to do it. What a mess that was.
 
man if hl2 came out on the day it would be the best game as well as the company that is right
