HL2 Demo Today

[cliffe]

Half-Life 2 Demo Coming Today at 1:00 p.m. PST

A free demo of Half-Life 2 will be released later today. Featuring some of the amazing digital actors and physical gameplay that has made Half-Life 2 the leading contender for Game of the Year 2004, the demo takes players through some of the early levels of the game and later transports them to the area of the game known as Ravenholm. The demo will debut on ATI.com, and requires a Steam account to install. For more information about Half-Life 2, please visit www.half-life2.com.

Yeah an Uplink style demo would've been faaaabulous. Daahling.

 

[Ari de Verci]

How much is it going to be delayed?

 

[Xenome]

Cool

(for the 1-5 people on this planet that haven't bought it yet )

 

[LAYP]

How much is it going to be delayed?

how cynical. They said today, so it must be already done.

 

[Pauly]

cool! So nothing like that halflife2 demo uplink? I wanted a new level
. oh well. I might just download it to see what levels the people get.

 

[azz0r]

How long is 1pst from now?

Isnt it like 5GMT?

 

[Prince of China]

What time would this demo be released in Canada? Specifically, British Columbia, Canada.

 

[Vegeta897]

1PST is 4EST.

So that would be 9GMT...
I think...

 

[kupocake]

Much needed - knuckle draggers really need to know what it's all about (and then we have all those people who don't know if it'll run). That said, I have to say that Ravenholm is probably my least favourite chapter. I suppose it gives them the chance to demonstrate the Gravity Gun though...

 

[azz0r]

so like an hour or 13 hours?

 

[B-MAn]

cool i gt the game anyway but i;m going to download it

 

[Vegeta897]

so like an hour or 13 hours?

Haha no, it's coming in one hour.

It wouldn't be "today" if it was 1 AM, now would it? Gotta think about these things! Logic!

 

[CookieCuttah]

52 Minutes!

 

[Prince of China]

What about Canada?

I'm worried.

 

[^Ben]

Well there was just a dip in the steam status graph so that must mean either the demo is getting distrubted over steam or theres an update happening at the same time.

cliffe please say it's face poser!

 

[-smash-]

30 minutes for those confused on times.

 

[Feath]

How unexpected.

 

[wilka91]

I was hoping it'd be like HL Uplink

 

[BetaMaster]

Iz out!

 

[MetalliMyers]

Iz out!

Duh, they said 1:00 PM PST
