I think Half-Life 2 is almost ready. Finally :)

[Dark_Viper]

yes it is real... they are bringing it out NOV 22

thats what they said at E3 and they mean it... thats why one of the people at valve had the date tatooed(henna) on his arm

[Whiteknight]

Yes, I must "purchase" this game immediately.

By the way, HL 2 isn't now, it's only Counter Strike: Source.

[henrywonderchimp]

I know. I got that part. BUt the fact that they're admitting to actually making the game semi-purchasable is pretty cool.

[Dark_Viper]

they actually talked about this on The Screen Savers yesterday.http://smilies.jeeptalk.org/cwm/alien/eek.gif

you get the full game of Half Life 2 downloaded onto your computer along with the CS source... but they dont activate the HL2 program untill the release date... http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/cwm/alien/huh.gif

so you dont semi download the program.. its all there.. just cant play it yet...http://smilies.jeeptalk.org/cwm/alien/laugh.gif
