Hi there

the long waited half life 2 is on pre-load.

which means u dl the game (~1.01gb) through steam but u cannot play it.

and when u purchase the game (will be released around next week I think) u'll be able to activate the game and play.

just get steam and start dl'ing if u cannot wait

will be released around next week I think

LOL

yeah, it's hardocp, but that's what i see

finally!! i can't wait anymore.. B)

the second part came out the other day so log back into steam and get the audio part of HL2 (972mb) , i bet theres going to be more to get after aswell

Amazon.co.uk says it'll be released on November 1st (2004, hopefully).

Makes you wonder why Valve have pre-released it to Steam. Are they trying to get it leaked so they can set the release date back again?

I think valve likes hackers and crackers so they might have released the pre-release so ppl can start hacking the game before hand

though I've started this thread I found it completely stupid to dl the game on my current internet connection. and I don't even know what's going to happen after I preload the game and then buy it. will they ship me the cd's? if not how am I supposed the install the game after a format? even so if they're going to send me a cd I am pretty okay to wait for another 1-2weeks since I've been waiting since sept 2003
