I'd imagine they'll hold it back until the steam network calms down a bit after the initial HL2 release.

I'd hope they get it out prior to release...but thats wishful thinking.
I'm finding myself opening and closing steam every now and then today
in the vain hope that it might show itself on the games list.

That thing is a helluva lot more demanding than the older hammers -
even my 3200XP with 512mb of RAM struggles! At the moment the editor is
quite a bit more different than I had expected but it shouldn't take
too long to become accustomed to it. Everyone really ought to make
themselves some batch files as using the built in compiler and keeping
hammer open in the background will waste quite a lot of your system
resources I imagine!

Could some one post some screens of the editor for the underprivileged non-steam lusers like me?
