Pre-load for us in GMT

[^Ben]

So valve said that the preload starts monday valve time. So does that mean we get it on Monday about 2am? Or Tuesday about 2 am?

P.S i do know that if it was 2 am it would be tuesday and wednesday respectivly.

If it does begin tommorow, then id guess around 2am - 3am GMT on the wednesday, so yeh.

 

[Feath]

Don't you meanl mean British Summer Time (BST) because the UK isn't in the GMT timezone at the moment?

Erm, it will be on the Tuesday, not the Wednesday. There isn't a 31 hour time difference between here and PDT.

BST wow never knew that existed

Yeah, when the clocks go forward it's not GMT anymore. It's British Summer Time.

Does this pre load indicate that the game might soon be out?

 

[guise]

yep, tuesday @ ~2am if the times of the previous pre-loads are anything to go by.

im guessing the game should come out within at most a month after the pre-load begins. (time for valve to get their rc to vivendi, and then go gold and all that malarky)

Does this pre load indicate that the game might soon be out?

Yes. We're close.

The textures, models and sounds will start pre-loading on Monday PST. This means it will indeed be Tuesday in BST. And yes, it's likely to start pre-loading at 6PM PST which is 2AM BST.

It's not been GMT for a long while, although the term is still used.

Now it's UTC

It's a preload... you can't do anything with it, so chill out and preload it on tuesday... being first gets you absolutely no rewards.

 

[Hectic Glenn]

So will everyone get this pre load or is just some people? i dont know,will it be like the situation with CS:S and voucher holders and CZ owners only had it? Or is HL2 pre load different and everyone gets it?

 

[un0x]

I almost forgot! Preloading is near D:!

2 am tuesday respectively if they start pre-loads at 6pm on monday

 

[Varsity]

Let's just say that I'm certaintly not going to be sitting up for it.

 

[Head_Crab_04]

So do you have to preorder the game through steam using a credit card and then your allowed to preload? Or is everyone allowed to do it?

 

[Varsity]

Looking at the pre-loading notice page, no.

 

[^Ben]

Nah not gonna be staying up either
