Half Life 2 Delayed.......... Again
 
I have just read this: http://www.warp2search.net/modules.p...icle&sid=16033
it says that HL2 is delayed to 24 of september of 2004.
i have lost all my expectations from Hl2 and Valve. im really furious :furious: :furious: :furious: , after i bought really expensive hardware last year so i could play it. Also, when Hl2 be out, it will be just another game, because the DX9 games will be common.
I dont care about HL2 any more, now i wait for Doom 3.

Re: Half Life 2 Delayed.......... Again
 
nobody listened to me when I said don't upgrade before the game comes out.......

However I shall wait for other proof as yet. If it's september Valve can go to hell, I have better things to do with my time than endorse an unreliable game.

this better not be true

if it is, then Valve can kiss my @$$


but, since i havent heard anything about this anywhere else, i will not believe it until other sources start saying it.

I can't find any place with official news about this... All I find is "I got a letter from whoever..."
And on 3 different sites, the new release date is different. I think it's just an hoax.

I lost faith in this game along time ago, if this delay is true it comes to me as no supprise. There is some good looking games due out this year. Games that will come out.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it'll be an April release (or possibly earlier).

Re: Half Life 2 Delayed.......... Again
 
I will tel you guys why the game is coming out spetember, because they want money, why not wait till christmas time, in august they will say it will be released november and then everyone will want it for christmas. What friggin joke, i am suspicious of their story about their code being stolen too. Maybe they just needed more time. Well all i am gonna say is that this better be one damn good game cause they are gonna get flamed till whenever the game comes out.

Re: Half Life 2 Delayed.......... Again
 
Doom 3 ;) Since last year, I said that would be out before hl2.

I feel your annoyance brudda. (a la FFX, NM)


I recently bought (2 days ago) an ATI 9600 with the coupon for Half-life 2 included. I have just read that the game isn't due until May, which seems a bit long given the hype about it. Valve needs to get on the ball.

Advertisement is a big deal nowadays. Most people want to hear about something RIGHT before it comes out. If the time isn't right people will get bored of the game and in their tiring wait, seek out new things (Doom3, which I have reserved also).

I have faith in Valve, but this could be the beginning of their end if they eventually cut HL2 from production.
Is it even STILL underproduction? For some reason, a part of me says they are keeping from us to make us wait just a little longer so they can gain a little more profit.

What's your take?

FBI Mounts Raid In Half Life 2 Code Investigation
Thursday, January 22, 2004 | Posted by: Andy Hodges 2 comments


As HL Radio reported live on the air last Tuesday, Valve Software did confirm with them that the FBI stories were real. Here's an update on what we know so far:
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The FBI launched a raid on the residence of programmer Chris Toshok, confiscating various items of hardware and software. Toshok was also questioned regarding his association with Hungry Programmers, his ex-house mates.

- The raid is part of a wider investigation into the hacking of Valve Software's computer system and the theft of, and subsequent posting onto the internet of, their in-development HL 2 game code, in particular the physics engine.

- HL 2 is one of the most anticipated pc games for some time, taking 5 years to develop and due for release in April. It follows in the wake of the original game which won many awards for various aspects of its gameplay.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, well I heard that someone said it was going to be released in May? This was posted the 22nd of Jan. What's going on here...?

Re: Half Life 2 Delayed.......... Again
 
I sure hope that isn't true, but after all the delays so far, it's very possible. Why can't they just make game developing similare to construction such as, if the developers go over the due date for the game, the producers start charging them every day its late, I'm sure everyone would have worked a lot harder had it been this way.

Kev_M January 28th, 2004 07:31 PM

Re: Half Life 2 Delayed.......... Again
 
The HL2 source code theft is true.

Its actually boxed and on sale in russia.
I've already emailed valve about it, but theres some semi-complete levels in it.
Very few of the game sounds are.
The E3 stuff from the videos is there in a basic form.
but lacks most of the AI.

So Valve werent lieing about the theft.
This extra delay however is sad to see if its true.

I hate Haxors :mad:

im furious, being the creator of a hl2 mod.

i do however beileve they laied to us from day 1.

being really vague here

i know of a person who got his/her hands on the leaked copy of hl2.

he/she says the spots avalaible were pre PRE alpha. shaders missing, lighting screwing up, buildings that you could walk right through, some guns were bugged and some crashed the game when you pulled the trigger. plus all the characters in the game were scripted 100%

im glade i didn't see this with my own eyes, i would be more pissed off then i am now if i had gotten ahold of it. didn't want to get sued or arrested so i kept away from it.

What I meant is that for now on I will only believe official announcements. The only time it really was delayed was September of 2003 and I don't know why. The reason it didnt come out in December or November was because it was stolen. And I still don't believe September of 2004 because Valve hasn't said anything yet.
