"*OFFICIAL* HALF-LIFE 2 THREAD"

Well there already seems to be quite a few Half-Life 2 threads cluttering up the PC Forum and I have no idea how many more will be made after the game gets released. So, I made this thread which can be used to talk about everything that is Half-Life 2 related and I hope you will all use it instead of making a thread for every problem/query you have.
So if you have any questions, links, general info about the game or you need help after its release tommorow, please use this thread :)

It doesn't; My Collector's Edition which Im getting for a paltry £39.00 does have HL:Source however...

Bought.
Installing now.
Updating ATI drivers to 4.12 beta then away I go.

Effusive wad-soaked review to follow before I head to Sarf London to violate a Sarth Aftricin woman.
Half-Life 2 and shouty sex.

None bar the using of the source engine. They have stated that they weren't going to up the poly count in any levels.

I loved Day of Defeat, I would have loved it even more had I been able to play it today, though I've half been expecting some kind of delay anyway so it's a minor inconvienience. I hope it's out soon though.

Yeah I know, which sucks, but it works out as easier in the long term.
And maybe cheaper too.

DoD isn't available yet though, I'll have to go around and dig up some info about it. Currently taking 25 minutes to finish updating Half Life: SOurce, I really want to see what new improvements they've put in.

Very true.

Oh well, if I leave my computer on tonight then I ought to have it pretty soonish.
Maybe.
I'm only really doing this for DoD.
