Well? I paid damn good money for it, would be nice if Valve could even give us a time frame. It's possible that they have and I've missed it, I don't pay alot of attention to the HL2 scene anymore, but I did pay for it, so I would love to know when I can play it.
 
It says coming soon, and they never gave a timeframe that I'm aware of for it.

You paid for a package that included it that clearly states when available, So I don't think you have much to whine about.
 
Big deal, it will get here sooner or later.
 
The DoD:S Dev Team were re routed to HL 2 to get it out faster, thus it was slowed down. Now they are at it full speed, but, if you want it now it will be like HL 1 : S..a Direct Port with little Source goodies. They may release the Direct Port Version very early in the new year and add the extra stuff a bit at a time using Steam. This is better than waiting till March/April :( Then again, they may have extra staff drom the CS and HL2 Teams and it will appear suddenly fully Sauced :D

Yes, Valve Software, Inc. is INDEBTED to me, Stephen D. Hardy Inc. and must render all products promised within a reasonable period or suffer my wrath (ran out of accounting-type terms. plus, who doesn't like to threaten people with their "wrath"?).
 
That's why i said Valve owe you something!

Because they do!! It wasn't trickery! Me and Iamelephant spent a year telling the Valve-owe-us-nothing people that they do owe us something. People who had ATI vouchers and people who preorded....were owed a game!

Anyway that's all in the past... :)
 
That's what it is. A Preorder. It clearly says "Game will be made available upon release." ALWAYS read the fine print.

Honestly, as said above ^^^^^ you don't want it to turn out like HL:S... Valve may owe you DoD:S, but give them time to make it worth the extra money.
 
Who will be dumb enough to stand still and admire the pretty scenery anyway...oooh nice stream..BANG!

The first time I played CS:S, everybody on the server just played around with the bottles and cans, etc. for about 20 minutes.

It'll eventually fade, but at first everybody'll do it.
 
Trust me, I don't think you want valve to give you a time frame..

just accept the fact that it'll be done when its done, and you'll have a nice suprise waiting for you when its actually released.

Oh, that's right...I was playing with the bottles and everybody else was nading me and watching me fly.
 
i hope its coming soon, valve should concentrate on releasing dod:s before moving on to anything else major. i know that they aint making it but they should support the development teams
 
God I hate this forum. It's turned completely to shit since about July.

No sh*t, Sherlock. I'm asking when that's going to be.

I know it clearly state "when available." I'm asking when that's going to be. And please point out where in my original post I whined about it. I'm just asking a question.

Well, which is it? Sooner or later? You idiots all have the same damn answer. All I'm asking is when will it be out? I do believe I deserve to know, after all I paid good money for it.

For f*cks sake I know what the f*cking fine print says. Please re-read my damn question.

And that's it. I'm off this forum for good. You people all suck (except Mr Fusion).
 
Yeah, but you were a dick though, so you don't really matter. Bye!

Edit:
And it'll be out "when it's done." :)
 
Alright see you later then.

Just give Valve time to actually do some work, Right now they are working on a lot of new content for CS:S, planning Half-Life 3, most likely working on Half-Life 2 expansion packs, and continuing to patch Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2 death match, and Steam.

You have to give them time to work on these things. Also don't be so nasty, none of us know when it is going to be released so Bliink's reply of "when its done" is pretty much the best answer anyone can give right now.
 
We don't know when it'll be out. And I'd imagine Valve won't say when it's going to be out until they're sure. That is all.
 
It is tied to Vac 2 ( If Vac 2 is real ) If Vac 2 arrives, all Steam Games will need to use it and thus they will need to be Source. Steam will not have 2 security systems, so when Valve bring out the new one, that is the date when all official Mods will be Source at the latest. And there is a story that says something will arrive late January, but I have said nothing, no sir. I suspect will will get something by late Jan that will have a few fancy bits, as Vac 2 is probably on the fast track at Valve as we type. CS is wide open to abuse right now and the game is getting a lot of bad press over haxzors in Source. Thus, DoD:S is on the xpress to be ready for its release, but not so pretty.
 
I expect DoD Source to be released within the next four month, but this can be a beta version. There are a few details avaible on DoD Source, read here.

Not when you paid for a game on terms of 'When it's done'. :p

I'd think anywhere from around the end of the year to a few months. Think of how long CSS took to make before they opened up the beta. Although I'm not exactly sure when they started DoD:S nor do we know exactly how much time they have put into it with HL2 being released and all. Patience buddy, it will be here.
 
I want it to since my CoD broke apart I dont feel like playin it anymore
yeah btw they owe me DoDS..........
 
the problem is, they don't say, officially, "when it's done".

The official word is "coming soon" which implies through logical necessity that it's release is rapidly approaching and can be expected..well, soon. Any company that can officially make this prediction should and could be willing to make a statement as to what, in general, they mean by "soon"

Holy shit, everyone break out the champagne. You won't be missed.
 
We don't know when its going to be done. They are fixing it up and making it a better game for us to play when its done probly lots of bugs since they ported it over. And don't be such a dick. oh and don't expect it any time soon i say give it 3 months if there fixing it like CS:s and 1 month if there not.
 
When a game company says "Comig Soon" they usually mean the same centuary.

It will be released before Duke Nukem Forever.

Half Life 2 came out, I'm begining to think ANY game can come out now.

This needs to be quoted many more times for emphasis :) I'm a nice guy, but you just pissed too many people off (how many times was it he got banned?)

Anyways, now we can go back to supporting VALVe and the impending release of DoD Source. The longer we wait, the better it'll be :)

Elephant how do you manage to whipe your own ass? You are the most demanding sack of shit on this forum, I dont think anyone appreciates the bullshit you post and that's why you never get answers, and guess what why would anyone want to be helpful to you if your such an asshole? Get lost, we aren't going to spoonfeed you info that nobody even knows.
