Half-Life 2 – Late Summer?

28 Apr, 2004 at 6:38pm ET Article published in Tech

It would appear the forums on Halflife2.Net have some details translated from an article on Half-Life 2 from German print PC Games magazine. The post offers hidden-text descriptions of the screenshots in the article, and word from Valve’s Gabe Newell that they are planning to release the game in late summer, along with apologies for the September 30 fiasco, attributing the delay to bad scheduling, rather than the source code theft.

…gordon’s biggest enemy isn’t the G-man, it’s another scientist who’s called “Dr. Breen”. Gabe pointed out in a interview, that he isn’t one of the typical bad bad bosses, more like someone who has his own ideas in dealing with a alien invasion…

28 Apr 2004 ~ 6:57pm primesuspect Yeah really. With UT2K4 and BF:V and Painkiller, I've got my FPS fix for the year, I think.

Yep, and don't forget Far Cry and S.T.A.L.K.E.R if it gets out this year.

HL2, Duke Nukem Forever, it's the same thing.
They might as well skip HL2 and call it HL3, they are doing the whole thing all over again.

Are you sure it is late summer this year?

28 Apr 2004 ~ 11:00pm Spinner I share the 'yawn' sentiment, and don't let those upside down 'y's in my sig and avatar make you think I'm a Half-Life fan boy because I'm not. That's not what those 'y's are for.

I do however regard the original Half-Life as the single greatest game I have ever played. If Half-Life 2 is going to be even half as good (if you pardon the pun), I am willing to be patient.

But yeah.
