HL2 Nearly done?

[Yapab]

"HL2 World announced that Half-Life 2 will be fully finished on August the 5th."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Right now we are looking at our bug numbers. Each day you fix some bugs and you find some new bugs. The net number tells you how quickly you will get to zero. At our current rate of find/fix bugs, we'll be down to zero bugs in 16 days"

source - HL2 World / ogn... anyone got more info?

that's more or less what the 16 days annoucement already told us.. :|

Was this an official announcement though? There have been so many rumours and lies about the release that I've just give up on HL2 till I see it on the store shelf... but looking at this it got my hopes up.

Interesting this is tho... any programmer knows no program is bug free! and he says 0 bugs, thats a misleading statement itself

Rupert you've taken "steal someones avatar day" too far !!

 

[nagual678]

indeed - the source of the statement is not very clear.. one could assume it's true, valve would have denied it with all the chatter it unleashed..
i think it is conceivable having 0 bugs at a given time if the playtesting reduces to single playering the game without bugs and having acceptable multi, if you consider valve doesn't have many different PCs to run it on. as i see it, bugs come more from incompatibilities of systems than bad coding.

heh, i am trying to lend weight to my posts.

There's already a few threads discussing this issue, so I'm going to have to close.
