Half-Life 2 only for Xbox?
Kaptain Kangaroo over at [link=http://www.3dgpu.com]3dgpu[/link] has brought something to light which some people might find a bit worrying. Apparently in the latest issue of the UK magazine PC Gamer one of leaflets contained in the magazine, a 10 page A5 on upcoming X-box titles, labelled the much anticipated game Half Life 2, as 'Xbox Only'. Now don't worry folks, I'm sure it's just relating to it being exclusive among the other consoles, but none the less fuel for concern for some.
[blockquote]I bought the christmas issue of PC Gamer and in it came a bunch of leaflets, one of them a 10 page A5 on X-box and upcomming games. So i read, to see what new ****e these console loving low-lifes would be expecting and shock horror, to my dismay, i saw Half-Life 2 and Doom 3, and stamped on the screenshot was "X-Box Only". Now the gears in my head got to thinking. Half-Life 2 was not delayed because some saggy-balled get nicked some of the code, it was delayed cause Microsoft did to Valve what it did to Bungie those years ago, and thus Valve, all this time have not been re-coding the game as stated to counteract any cheating that may occur in multiplayer HL2, they have been re-writing the code for the X-box, which will probably finish some time next year for a simultanious release with the PC. All this is just speculation brethrens, but if this is true, then i say **** the X-box cause that bastard gimp owner has just shafted us PC owners up the Gary-Glitter again. Excuse my language brethrens but the possibility of this being true pisses me of big-time.
Later on today i will scan a snipet from that page for you to see with your own two eyes. You do the maths from then on. here is the image all the same.

Could you ellaborate bud.
Again, my opinion here, but I just found the posted information so contra to common sense as to be a waste of time. I will eat crow naked at the corner of main & 1st with documented video evidence if I'm wrong.

**EDIT** OK XBox "Only console" is a little different, ie, no PS2 etc but I originally took it to mean no PC version.
Cool, hey, I agree with ya, I wasn't being funny with ya, just was curious about what exactly you meant. I just got the impression you thought I shouldn't have posted that news report because it was quite obviously false.
Sorry, I'm a bit sensative when it comes to my news, you know how it is. Ha ha.
/me laughs at himself.
They did it to my beloved MechWarrior. No more PC MechWarrior games, only MechAssault and Xbox for now on. My flightstick has been gathering dust since I beat the MechWarrior 4 expansion pack, and I may have to mothball it indefinitely.
That is the number 1 reason why I will never buy an Xbox.
