Counter-Strike: Source/Half-Life 2 Preloads

[Aug 11, 2004, 10:47 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Gabe Newell made a couple of posts to the Half-Life 2 Fallout Forums about plans for Counter-Strike: Source and Half-Life 2 data preloads on Steam in preparation for the release of each. Regarding Counter-Strike: Source, he says this in one post: "Just got out of a review meeting. 8/11 the Cafe's turn on (tomorrow). 8/16 CZ/ATI users pre-load. 8/18 CZ/ATI turns on," and in a subsequent post: "The engine test (CS:Source plus de_dust) for cyber-cafe's started pre-loading at 6." There are also posts on the Steam Users Forums indicating that Valve has started to pre-load Counter-Strike for some end-users (thanks Stoo). The first post also has word from Gabe on plans to start preloading art and sound assets for Half-Life 2: "8/17, HL-2 pre-load starts (textures, audio and other stuff that doesn't change)."

Your a fucking idiot

"excessive...needs and desires"

desires why is talking about desires?, if you read what I typed you will see you just made that up. Fucking idiot.

These people have spent years of their lives working on something and they deserve to be payed for it. You are the type of person that whines and bitches about others wealth and success because you are too much of a failure to have it yourself.

You must be a Rebublican, and severly hate ther poor.

Get a fucking life pal.

Tell me do you actually speak like that, or do you limit your use of early 90's sayings to internet threads?

Jackasses like you bitched and complained when the first games started to require online serial authentication to play multiplayer. This is just another step forward.

nope, sorry and btw you are the one bitching, and its fitting.
