Maybe the reason for this lack of confirmation is to create perpetual hype.

Seriously how many of you would check hl2.net or bluesnews or wherever you get your info from if you knew it was gold.
Also, how many times have you pinged the doom3 sites in the last hour. Probably not as much as hl2.

The followship that hl2 has created with its flashy videos in combination with its immenent yet mesterious release date is such a great advertising technique they should teach it in school.

Forgive me if someone has already posted this rantingish topic.

I'll be doing the same thing. Common Delay Rumors BE FALSE!:bounce:
 
I shudder to think of a delay. I don't deny it's a possibility, but it's not a pleasant thought. I ping Doom 3 sites only about once a week- mostly becuase HL2 is more my style, I'm familiar with it's community, and there's lots of tension for answers that I want.
 
man if hl2 is delayed... i dono i have been anticipating this game more than getting my drivers license!
 
hmmm, At least tommorowa new Neal Stephenson book comes out so at least ill have something to do if delayed. If not the book becomes sopmething to prop my head up off the keyboard from lack of any respite from hl2.

lol me too. I've kind of been ignoring my driver's license.
 
I really hope Half-Life 2 is not delayed. I literally have had nothing to do lately except wait for HL2 and just check these forums waiting to see any new news. I pray that tomorrow they will announce HL2 has gone gold. IF it is delayed though...I don't think it will be delayed by that much. Maybe a week or two?

I've just been thinking to myself about the possible delay...and realize that I'd be really upset if it was pushed back...even a little. I have been on these boards for less than a full month and I'm practically crawling up the walls with anticipation. It subsides momentarily...ya know, when I'm in public and all. But right when I get back in my swivel chair and look at these forums...and see more delay threads...it makes me want to go down to Valve and carry a computer away with me...cords trailing through the halls and everything.
 
Same goes for me too Spitcodfry. I'd really be upset too if it was delayed just a little bit. My belief for HL2 coming out on Sept 30 was pretty strong before...but now...I really am not sure what to believe. Will the game come out on the 30th as planned...or will it be delayed? If it doesn't go gold tomorrow I think I'll finally accept that it has been delayed. There might be a SLIGHT chance though that it still might come out the 30th even if it isn't announced gold tomorrow. Atleast, that is what I believe and I really hope its true.

I would be happy to see that HL2 went gold.
 
eh, I dunno im startin to loose faith in the 9/30 release date as well. I mean if nothing is said by Friday, accept the fact that it is delayed.
 
Don't mean to be the devil's advocate on this one. First time post for me, and I know you have all heard it b4. I am in the same situation as all of you too. I get caught up in it all and I just say.

"Come on man, It is just a game. When you think about all the past game we hyped upon.... were they really worth it... wasting hours on end for the slightest bit of info that was probably conjured up by someone exactly like us getting bored of it all?"

If you just take a step back. Enjoy some great counterstrike with friends and get out and enjoy life I feel we will enjoy the game a lot more when it actually comes out. We are just putting it on a high pedestal right now. We are setting ourselves up for some anger management if the game does not meet our criteria.

I know it's hard to break the habit of dwelling on HL2, but you gotta prep yourself for a delay. And that means by starting right now, and just wait for the game to come out.

Cheers
