The fact that there's people playing the opening level now makes me angry.

Oh............... Wonderful.........
ITEM DESPATCHED FIRST CLASS ON: 16/11/2004
The order history was NOT reporting this to me yesterday..........
Cannot remember the date it was showing, but it was >12th and <16th.
Sweet. That's put me in a foul mood.
I might as well have bought it off steam or simply popped across the road at lunchtime. AND I would have got it for less.

That'a almost "wrist slash" worthy... Just as bad as having it physically sat on your PC for over 2 months and not being able to do anything with it. The when the time comes to finally have the 2.4GB file unlocked, your 16 f##king miles away!! Arghhhh....

To be honest, I'm really p****** (obviously) about it! The reason I KNOW that it had been listed as despatched is because I have changed my address very recently. I checked over the weekend to make sure that I knew where HL2 was coming, the date change was on the 12th and the "your order has been dispatched" was at a later, therefore I knew to expect it at my home address.
And now it's despatched on the 16th? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. SR s**** up methinks..........
[edit] Just in touch with SR. Despatched on the 15th. Should (please!) be waiting for me tonight.

Yeah, same here mate. Sat at my desk. I can't wait to get my teeny weeny ickle wickle hands on the ba*tard but unfortunately I have to work. Luckily, the day is going surprisingly quick.
I've just spent the last three hours playing it, just coming off to have a rest, and breakfast seeing I was on almost straight away. I'll have to give HL: Source a try next.
Also having spent three hours on it, i'm glad I skipped school today... Might have to buy a new graphics card so I can see it how it was meant to be.
So is it THAT good then?
Was majorly disappointed to find Halo 2 was as I expected.
With Half-life 2 being purely a single player experience I expect to see so much more.

Like the orignal, HL2 always has something new to throw at you, making it hard to quit.
The bit I'm on Now
**SPOILER**
on a hovercraft boat is taking ages, weaving through huge canal sytems, running over Combine troops as they get in my way, and one *on the edge of your seat* bit where I got chased by a helicopter with it dropping bombs to slow my progress.
**SPOILER**
This is how you make a sequel, Valve are one of the few developers that actually seem to care about the game rather than just the money it'll make.
