Yeah, You're right by that, but even that Half-life 2 had great graphics,
But i had expected some more levels like Half-life 1, Half-life 2 was a little too short. So they've better get up with something good :D

Re: Whatever happened to this game?
 

I have a question about the episodes of HL2 to come, I have HL2 and steam so I'm wondering if I would get the episodes for free (like how you get CSS free with HL2) because if the episodes are as long like about 5 chapters of HL2 then I think it isn't worth much money (maybe 10 dollars but not any more) so... does anyone know if it's free for you if you have HL2 and Steam?:confused:

Re: Whatever happened to this game?
 

Ganondorf;

Afraid not. I know it sounds strange because AFAIK these 'Episodes' will probably require you to have HL2 as it is (don't quote me; I think I've read it more than once but nothing official that I can think of) for the Source engine, but I do know (at least this much) for sure that Ep. 1 and subsequent 'installments' will have to be purchased, either over Steam or via retail outlets. The price I've heard quoted ranges between $20 (like DOD:S retail) and up to $30 Cdn., and while you can make up your own mind about whether or not it's worth it to you, I'm comfortable with that. If it was $50-$60 (say, like a full version of Battle for Middle-Earth 2) I'd have a problem with it, but if it's going to be like DOD:S for $20-$25 I think it's reasonable.

If it was only going to be released through Steam (as I recall was the first release plan, or at least a potential one) I'd be much less understanding. ;)

Re: Whatever happened to this game?
 

Bad news people it's release date has been pushed back again, valve say that the game is now coming out on 30th of may, but EA say it will be coming out on the 31st of June. Maybe that means it will be available for download a month before going on the shelves? I highly doubt it though, anyone got any more info than that?

Re: Whatever happened to this game?
 

Yeah, thats a good point seeing as HL2 isn't workin for me. And I don't know how many times HL2 was pushed back, but it waas about a year late or something stupid like that wasn't it?
