This is MY screenshot. I can't post the image here because the site isn't whitelisted yet. Has this happened to anyone else?

 

[Hazar]

mine's doing it too

I went to play cs:s and it started updating

 

[Alientank]

Yea weird, mine was going nuts like 450 k/sec and it was just finishing up, at around 98% when I caught it on the monitor, got this screenshot just as it finished.

OMG what is it???

 

[fischmama]

same here....does that mean we'll see DOD:S in the NEAR future, hopefully!

maybe even before HL2/HL:S or are they 'preloading' it because they was talk about somekind of beta before the release (wheather public or private...i don't remember)?? I guess nobody but valve knows.

this made me sad i was soooooo exited no really i thought DOD SOURCE but alas me sad ;(;(;(

 

[chibizerov4]

so you can just preload it but not dl it? (sry im newb at this stuff)

 

[Mr. Redundant]

weird, I havent seen anything like this.. perhaps it preloaded when I was playing in-game or something?
(I own a silver steam package)

Remember, we preloaded HL2 aswell - this doesn't mean anything beyond that they have finished the game. I'm not sure if DoD Source's release is in VU's hands, or Activision's (DoD Retail's publisher, I think), or Valve's, but it obviously isn't out yet, so I'm betting it'll come out with HL2.

It does not mean the game is finished. They could have, for example, all the sounds done and just preload those. Same goes for models, sprites, etc.

 

[Asuka]

DOD:S wont be out for some time probably after hl2 comes out. Anyway cool stuff the preloading that also.

We already have a thread about this. Yes, it's started pre-loading, what's wrong with that?
Besides, it's only "complete" what's available so far, all 65 MB of it. So no, it's not 'done'.
