Post here when your steam starts preloading HL2.
ONLY post when IT STARTS!
wow poseyjmac and Shuzer, I said when it starts. NOT YET!
Illegal Amigo, don't talk again in my thread!
It shows you don't have a HL2 CD-key.
Lobster! Can't anyone follow instuctions!

poseyjmac, how could you have preloaded already?

 

[poseyjmac]

sounds Like A Plan

 

[Shuzer]

$10 says it won't preload tonight, and Gabe was smoking something funny when he posted that.

 

[Illegal Amigo]

Can someone fill me in? I feel dumb for asking, but HL2 isn't gold yet -- how do people preload? Or is it just a partial preload, and you can't play 'till it's released?

ill have to agree, it just seems wierd !

 

[Sushi]

I have faith in Valve, their reputaion for keeping their word is already stretched to the limit, so I expect good things tonight, otherwise the community won't be very pleased...

Ditto, as I "left" during the leak days and have not really kept up with things.

Also how does the CS:S preload?

Also to stay on topic I will post here if, when and if I notice anything Pre Loading...

I've seen some shots of people preloading :|

It will show up in a new section called "Coming Soon".

It starts with your permission of course.

most likely faked, I did my own little fake pre-loader "screenshot" but didn't post it because posting fake screenshots is lame.

Roger that. So why do I not see the CS:S that everyone has been discussing? I have installed CS.

Thanks BTW for taking the time and answering.

Nevermind:
Pre-loading of the Counter-Strike: Source Beta to owners of Counter-Strike: Condition Zero and the ATIHL2 bundle has begun. On Wednesday, this second phase of the beta will open and the beta will be playable to this group.

8/17 HL-2 pre-load starts (textures, audio and other stuff that doesn't change).
8/18 CZ/ATI turns on.

Haha, that's a good idea. In fact, that's the only reason I am still up. I've been up since 9 yesterday, so I'm really tired. Hopefully, I'll find out soon. :cheers:

No. 6 characters

 

[Hazar]

[Sushi]

Buy the game via Steam or in a store.

oops posted this in the wrong thread:

It would be also nice if people posted what server and what "speed" they were downloading at/from. Just the network geek in me.
