Potential bad news which is related to the original story.

Although the current news must make most H-L 2 fans happy, the timing casts a question mark over the game's release date. Following the theft, Half-Life 2's release changed from Christmas 2003 to sometime in 2004, it was only just before E3 that Valve begun b>not denying a possible summer release date. A look at Vivendi Universal's, H-L 2's publisher, mid-year release timetable however, raises some doubt over the summer release since the game is not included. What is even more troubling is that the timetable includes other titles, known to have a planned Christmas release for VU Games, suggesting that H-L 2 may miss the holidays of 2004 as well.

Let us hope that Valve choose to recognize the help they received from the gaming community and stick to the summer release we have all been hoping for.

There was some confusion over that sometime back I remember... Vivendi released it's Christmas release schedule, not it's summer schedule, and some people got them mixed up on their sites. Maybe this is just the same thing?

HL2 has taken far too long already to come out. Whoever those hackers are, they've already ruined the once-superior graphics engine by delaying the game, and the physics engine is heading downhill too. By the time it's released, it'll be just another FPS...

Somehow I'm not worrying that HL2 will be "just another FPS". What made HL1 great (its still one of the best singleplayer FPS games ever) was not the graphics, or the AI, or any single thing, but how the level design brought all the little peices together perfectly to create a great game.

Valve knows how to take their technical assets, and turn them into fun gameplay, which is more than can be said about most FPS creators these days. [addsig]

I like this part:

It was extraordinary to watch how quickly and how cleverly gamers were able to unravel what are traditionally unsolvable problems for law enforcement related to this kind of cyber-crime.


So it looks like not everyone who uses IRC is an evil kiddy porn virus wrtiing whore? I wish more people would look at instances like this and help dispell the idea that anybody who has downloaded a few mp3s is some moral-less criminal with no care for society or whatever...

But yeah, if HL2 was going to be a great game in September, it will be a great game when it does come out. As long as the graphics are at least average, it's the content of the game itself that matters.

Don't be stupid, people doing good to help the world doesn't sell newspapers does it? People want hard-hitting headlines and stories! Does it particularly matter that thousands of people get mullered because of the crap we print? OF COURSE NOT
