What if Half-Life 2 was never delayed?

[swdarin]

When was the original release date for HL2? Fall 2003? For me, if HL2 wasn't dealyed till sometime in 2004 (which is now) I would have gotten it instead of Max Payne 2 for PC during my X-mas vacation when I got a new computer. Or maybe after i got Max Payne 2. But, back in Fall 2003, I didn't know anything about the Half-Life seires until Spring 2004. I became a HL fan so quickly.

I am a OG HL fan (played the original back when it was it was released and reviewers were bowing down to Valve) but to be honest the first I really heard of it was at E3 2003 when Valve's big presentation was knocking everybodys socks off, if it was released back then then probably we would be playing HL2 mods right now.

we'd be wondering why it got released unfinished.

I got it within the first week of it's german release, took me two years to figure out that the the marines weren't robots in the american version

Please don't start with the what if half life 2 was released when it was supposed to be. I mean we can go over what if's all day long. Like what if the x800 had come with sm3.0. What if Half life 2 was opengl based and nvidia had the advantage. I mean if you want to look at it in a positive light, just think about when it comes out what are you going to do?

If HL2 was released last fall, then we would all be posting on halflife3.net.

If hl2 was never delayed it would suck cuz last year my comp sucked hard.

Holy crap! If Half-Life 2 was released! Doom III would be obsolete! Everyone would be like...Doom what?

Well what if this thread was never made? What would happen then?!!!! Just playing, uhhhh i guess we would all be playing the multiplayer part and cs:s, possibly TF2.

I think Doom 3 is great. what's your reason for not liking it?

If Half-life 2 had never been delayed, then there'd be a Half-life 4. But, Half-life 2 would be so lacking it would jade alot of people for Half-life 3.

 

[mcojunk]

If if, its delayed and we have Doom3 and that's a kick ass game so whats the point just play other games for a while.

 

[The_Nexus]

Half Life isn't a GAME man....HAHAHAHAHAHAH FOOOOOOOOLSS,,,think its a game ...............HAHAHAHAH None shall save your DOOOOM!!!

 

[Random Task]

Think if Half-Life 2 had come out Fall 2003 then Doom 3 would be amazing cause they would of had to redo it serious style but as we all know HL2 will never come out it will be delayed and delayed until we all become so old that we will need our home help to play it for us.

Well... Not all people like spiders with up-side-down heads and burning severed heads flying around everywere. Though it could also be that HL2 will be alot better than "DOOM WHAT". :naughty:
