To clear up a few things...

[Black Mesa corp]

I am hyped, I am happy, I am annoyed I have school tomorrow :angry: but I just need a few things cleared up and you lot are the best to answer my questions.
1. When Half Life 2 is activated how will it load up... how much more preloading does it need... how long untill I can play it once it's been activated? Because I am just thinking how long I will have to wait at my computer for.

2. I was just wondering how long until reviews begin to swarm in?

3. Ummmm, I think thats it and just so you can keep up to date with HL2s overall ranking when reviews eventually make their way in visit this a few days after the game is released...

1. I would guess very quickly - they will have preloaded as much as possible to avoid too much server load on the day.
2. When the agreement expires (noon tomorrow)
3. yeah
