seriously? we get HL:Source tomorrow? any one? Cliffe? Gabe?
 
Wow, if that's true, I might be able to fight the urge of playing HL2 first, as I never truly beat HL.

Do it :) You should at least have experienced the HL storyline once before plunging into HL2... I'm sure you'll get more out of the game that way.
 
HL:S... that's a lot of big files to load... going to kill the bandwidth tomorrow.
 
well if the collector's edition comes out tomorrow that includes HL:S yes? So wouldn't HL:S be unlocked?
 
It's vaporware. As far as I know neither of the other source games promised in the package are being released tomorrow. And meanwhile no proper MP, a sadly crippled CS:S... HL2 better kick so much ass that we forget about all this, otherwise Valve is going to have some problems about products promised but not delivered. Shocking, I know.
 
i think that somewhere in the preloads we already have the files needed for hl: source. so im pretty sure that when hl2 is unlocked tomorrow night, hl: source will be as well.
 
HL:S is installed with the CE. It's 784,830KB in the SteamApps folder.
 
nope.

No HL:S for a while. Steam page says when it's finished, but no release date set...

We'll see... it was in the RCs that were sent to Vivendi so I almost garantee it'll be available at the same time as HL2.

Edit: It was also played by the reviewers who went to Valve to play HL2. It's done, there's no reason it won't be available.
 
I really don't understand the arguement against it coming with hl2. I mean it's on my hd and the back of my box. How could they sell something before it has a release date set?

Kids say the darndest things. This is the new paradigm, doodz. Valve's new plan is to have you finance the next five years of their company by buying products they haven't even made yet.

So you're still maintaining it won't come out?
 
I read the whole thing as a joke...but I don't think it was. Personally I don't care either way, but my money is on it releasing with hl2.
 
Seeing as the RC sent to VUGames went GOLD along with HL2 and being packaged with the CE Retail version, I should be able to play it . ;)
I bet it was not preloaded to save bandwidth for HL2. If you want to download it then you may choose to do so when it has been activated.

DoD:Source on the other hand...
 
I'm not so sure HL:S would even take up that much bandwidth. Considering it's more or less a straight port to the Source engine, it might reuse a lot of existing HL files (Textures, sounds, etc), so it might not be that large a download. Considering most of us already have HL.
