Oh yeah!!! It's about time.

YES!!!! I cant get on it at the moment but WOO HOO! arty:

Well, it seems as though it's a hoax. CSNation is reporting that Gabe's forum account was hacked. However hl2fallout.com is down currently and Valve hasn't commented on it. So it's not quite for sure either way except what CSNation has to say about it.

Hopefully they'll sort this out soon.

yeah i read, but i dont see how.
I mean, all the other posts that gabe posted on hl2fallout was true, and on THIS post, saying that its going gold, is to be recognized as false? I'll only believe this on Monday if it isnt announced gold, but then again, they could delay it.

Either way its coming soon because of the preloading and everything

 

[DarthDazDC]

ah, i just read on gamespot, gabes password was gaben and sum1 logged on and posted it, then he entered a post saying,
"Maybe he shouldn't have used 'gaben' for his password. Come on Gabe, you could of thought of something better than that"
Oh well, it did make sense, as the half life 2 preloading was starting.

Agh... i knew it , that would be too good to be true :C
I bet HL² will come out winter 2014 ;P

And the preloading will take place for 10 years

And the preloading will take place for 10 years

Exactly Because teh steam content servers are gameboys with gamedows 89 and an 56k broadband connection xD

Nah , the pre-load only consists of some sound and texture files , which won't be changed until the release , so they need 10 years for teh rest to code

I knew it was too good to be true, and this Pre-load lark just makes it easier to pirate their game if you ask me

Half-Life 2 is now supposed to come out on November 1st.

Hm ok but what year

This year hopefully.

 

[DarthDazDC]

No-one knows if it will be released in November. And it can't be THAT specific of a release date. Once we hear it from Doug or Gabe then we'll know for sure.

 

[IceWarm]

Well as of right now many of the online video/computer game shops are saying November 1st.

Plus, Steam just started uploading a second part of Half-Life 2 via steam. So I'm guessing it's quite close to release. Even if it's as far away as november 1st, that's only 4 days away from my birthday, so I'm happy.

November 1st 2014 , if you ask me

 

[jareg]

November 1st 2014 , if you ask me

I doubt because of the preloading and all :whistling

Well people, waiting for Half-Life 2 is not near as bad as waiting for Duke Nukem Forever.
