America doesn't have it either, $loth.

It's all being done via synchronised release/unlocking/activation on Steam. Even if you buy the CD (some outlets have been selling it) in the US or UK, you won't be able to play it til Tuesday.

For us, thats 8am Tuesday morning.

Yes, I'd like to see all the loosers here sitting outside GameStop waiting for it to open Monday night. Since, I have no doubt they'll have a midnight sale for HL2 buyers.

I actually have to wait until a specific EBX is opened though, since that's where I pre-ordered it and they compete with one another ... even though they're all owned by the same person. [addsig]

I was shocked too. But if you pre-order something from EBgames you can't get it at the Ebgames right next door, because they compete with pre-order numbers ... like bastards.

Not to mention they skimp on most things, like with Doom3, if you pre-ordered it you were suppose to get a putered Pinky Demon (which looked awesome). However, where I pre-ordered it from only got 15 ... they had 175 pre-orders.

What happen is if you didn't pre-order the game you couldn't buy it (which, I'm sure, is what will happen with HL2). The managers at the EBX were pissed too, since they didn't get one either. (Apparently GameStop and Best Buy offered statues as well, but not Pinky Demons, they each had a unique statue or something) [addsig]

POSSIBLE HL2 END SPOILER!!!!

If you are sure you want to see this spoiler then drag around below and highlight the hidden words to see it.

-friend said that he read at somethingawful.com that someone had played HL2 and beat it. He said that the G-man ends up being you! Gordon in the future! That explains why the G-man says at the end of Op4 "I must admit I have a certen fastenation with those who adapt and survive agensed all odds, they rather remind me of my self"

I expect i'll go into town on tuesday sometime, but I'm thinking it will be sold out. I want to get it from a specific shop because I have some old gift vouchers I need to use up. Need to go in town anyway for brake fluid so not much of a disaster if they dont have copies left.

If you go there tomorrow you may still be able to preorder it, if they accept preorders that is. If they don't, then your chances go up as they should have plenty of copies that nobody has laid claim to yet, so get there early and you should be in luck

Um, somethingawful.com don't do serious reviews. I know the ending, and that is NOT it.

Yup dont believe everything the internet tells you. I just got my HL2 gold stuff yesterday, and ill tell you the Strategy Guide is thick, meaning we will have long hours of playing HL2. I read the first page, and I kicked myself, cause I found out a plot thing right away, DO NOT READ THE GUIDE IF YOU CAN HELP IT!!!!!! I know I dont . Ill probably be playing it mon. night/ tue morning as Ive ordred it off of steam, So I guess ill be playing it at 12:01AM tues.

Ohh and as for the rummors that people are playing the game aready is BS. Even if people have the game installed, Steam needs to "turn it on" so not one person(with the exception of the designers) is playing it before 12:00 mon night.

But on a lighter note I saw an alien craft in the sky last night, and Big foot was sighted on saturday, and just now there is a peace conference in the Middle East.

From what I've read...

Valve is located in Washington State and is releasing the key at midnight on Monday. So if your on the east coast (EST) and preordered thru steam (like me) you will be able to play it at 3:00 AM Monday night...err Tuesday morning...

I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve.

I can't wait until every moron in the HL community falls for the TruthMedia review and emails SomethingAwful complaining. halflife2.net will be rife with it you just wait
