Wait for an announcement from someone, companies often "make up" dates like this just to keep their database's/waiting customers happy.

Urgh.

After hanging out on the halflife2.net forums for a year or so, one tends to develop a deep hatred for this type of thread.

They're guessing, that's it. The last thing we've heard from Valve is that they're hoping to ship the game to Vivendi in August. [addsig]

This is because Valve hope to deliver to Vivendi in August. Common sense dictates that the game should roughly be released around September. Beleive me, there is no release date. I hang out in the largest hl2.net community on the internet. I would know. [addsig]

I'm going to make two predictions about HL2:

1. It'll turn out that City 17 is located somewhere near the Black Sea/Sea of Azov in Ukraine. Perhaps it was formerly Odessa...

2. Retarded physics maps that have a bunch of vehicles and crap in an open area will replace killboxes in popularity, and if you make a serious HLDM map that doesn't have a drivable dune buggy or two sites like GlobalAssault will think it sucks.

Ditto about the "new killboxes" - shockingly possible. Assuming HL2 multiplayer is DM in nature, of course. [addsig]
