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 :)

Crap, this has already been released? Halo 2 the week before does not help at all. Anyway, what are the min specs for the game?

I haven't read any reviews/previews or anything for a long time.
I got hold of that leaked version of it ages and ages ago but never really explored it very much. So I don't know what to expect.
Probably won't even get it tommorow anyway.

And yeah, reading the review did leave me feeling a little dissapointed but that might have been because I have such high expectations for the game, or it could just be Gamespot who are extremelly harsh since I was left with the same feeling after reading their Metroid Prime 2 review last night. But just to be on the safe side I think I'll lower my expectation level just a little bit :)

Well, you question was "Does anyone known if the retail version requires Steam as well" to which I replied "During install to unlock the game."

I would imagine that's a yes. :P
