ECTS 2003: Half-Life still on for Sept 30th News
PC News by Kristan Reed
Valve's Greg Coomber insisted Half-Life 2 will hit the shelves on September 30th as planned, despite widespread fears that the game will slip.
Speaking at Earls Court this morning, Coomber admitted "it'll be tight, but Half-Life 2 is still on for a September 30th ship". We hope you're right Greg.
Sadly the 25 minute presentation was exactly the same one that Valve CEO Gabe Newell delivered at E3 three months ago. Even the script was the same, much to the disappointment of those seeking nuggets of new information about the game.
Ah well. We'd rather Valve got the game out on time than spent ages cutting together new material for us to drool over. If the game really is only five weeks away, we've not got long to wait to find out for ourselves how good Half-Life 2 really is.

itamae, the backend of HL2 is Steam, and since you need to register online using steam there is no way out!

Trust me, Vivendi has no feckin clue when this is coming out. Valve is the only source you should be listening to, not spurious information from retailers that guess the release dates most of the time. If Valve wants to make a further announcement about slippage then it will, but until then it's Sept 30th, mmmkay?
