Good read about HL2

Didn't see this posted anywhere, so slap me if you have all seen it.

This is a great article about the whole hl2 delay fiasco, and the general development of the game.

Read through it today, some interesting tid-bits of info in there that
I hadn't heard of before. Perhaps most of all the downloadable "ATI
levels" or whatever it was they said, which you will need a super high
end graphics card to run but will be uber detailed. I was thinking
6800GT (or even standard) but now the x800's seem a little more
tempting...

was indeed an interesting read. like the part where was said that da guy was watching over valve's shoulders during 6 months and how he complimented gabe afterwards on how fast they were developing

I doubt the high-end levels will be for ATI coupon holders only, because the ATI offer is over... it's not in Valves interest to release more content to a select group of people when the contract with ATI is over, as letting anybody get the high detail levels should in theory boost sales of the game a bit.
