I agree this whole bit of preloading portions of the game is to create the illusion to comfort angry gamers that the game is almost here. Hell its been 5 weeks of preloads and still no clue to when the game will be released. They have to know at least how big the game is and yet can't comment how many more preloads there will be. This has to be the worst gaming company in history. I think its embarassing that a company would act this way- It's a company u can't trust. It's a huge tarnish on there reputation- Even if the game is like totally mind blowing- This bad taste in my mouth will be stuck on Valve for years to come-

Drama, Drama, Drama- and more Drama- The problems and lies and decete with this game is REALLY REALLY INSANE> Preload this valve...X|

The game has yet to go gold so why are we even talking about this?

I just purchased Rome: Total war from EB games- Well when i opened the box i noticed there are 2 copies of game Yes they put 2 copies of one game in the same box. I wonder if i can return it back to eb games- Since i did not open the shrink rap on the other copy

Another american beheaded in iraq- Video here.. I just don't see the justification of sending civilians into a war zone. We are still at war - keep the contractors out till all the bad guys are killed. I think the Bush administration and the pentagon are FU***** this war up big time. Time for Kerry. http://www.ogrish.com/

Whoo - Hooo!!! Download number 997 of 999 now completed.. Any year now...

Wow!! was it really worth releasing the Half-Life 2 Preload on Steam last week? Seems Valve has finally lost it. Me wonders how many months this locked copy will be on my hard-drive? Me wonders how many years to the next half-life 2 preload. Gabe should preload

Why the hell would VALVE release the preload for Half-Life 2 If the game wasn't to be going gold for a few more months. It would be pointless in doing so- the game should go next week. Just think of the stupidity for releasing it eary if the game wasn't ready... Then again this is Valve so im not suprised.

I Got the exe of Half-Life 2 to work and all it does is play pong.

He is so fatt u cant see his manhood.

Whoo hoo I found the half-Life 2 file- - But all it containd was Gabes nude photos

Now were do I put the quarter to start the damn thing?

How big is this thing- ???

I'm currently downloading with 7.8% done. WhooHOO!!! Anyways it's still a bit confusing why Valve is doing this- Yes okay it will save them some money for those who buy on steam- But why not complete the game first then preload it on steam. It seems Valve is inducing us with drugs (crack-Half-Life2) and keeps feeding us pieces at a time- utter bullshit- Just I hope when this is all done it will be a matter of days till i will be playing half-life 2 and not months- Then all good things must come to a end. If you all know what i mean

Speaking of Steam and Valve = It's Aug 25, 2004 and Half-Life 2 has yet to reach gold status. Disturbing- yes. Suprised- no. ERRRR!!!!!!!!!!

Poor 321 I will miss them But i think If you buy a movie- you should be able to make a copy of it or do with it as you like- it is yours. The movie industy isn't a poor industy- yet they are greedy and want more and more. I don't see any movie stars starving or hollywood execs -- do you?

I'm not dissapointed by any means with DOOM 3. The game does deliever and it made me jump out of my chair a few times. The only problem is im not WOWWWED!!. When i first played FarCry my chin hit the ground. I'm not saying that the CRYTEK engine is better than the Doom3 engine, or that the Doom3 engine is better than the Crytek engine, I just think Farcry shows off alot more, amazing graphics,lightning, and physics. I know Doom 3 was made as a remake of Doom, so i expected nothing more then a dark environment oppposed to Farcry's colorfull one. I somehow believe this game was delayed 6 months in much part to Nvidia- It's just when the 6800 cards are starting to flow into the market when the game gets launched. 3cds opposed to Farcrys 5 and which game was in development longer? Anyways im having tons of FUN- im restricking myself not to play too much durning the day and holding off at night with all the lights out to get the full effect I just don't want the game to end too soon- so im trying to take my time and enjoy the game Now only if Half-Life 2 would go GOLD>>

I can't believe someone with a P4 3ghz is running the game with a 9600.. hmmm- Doom 3 is running like butter on my P4 2ghz 512-ram - x800 pro High quality- 1280-786

Here we go- Beginning of the game - made me feel like taking the game back. Until the part when u reach the scientist u are looking for and then all hell breaks loose- well I almost wet my pants.. The game looks amazing- but not as colorfull as FarCry. Alot of dark colors- green-red-black-brown-yellow. It looks impressive in motion- The game has alot of atmosophere. Very creepy- but what makes the game stand out is the amazing sound -- I'm only level one of the game- and it feels like im being thrown alot of action and eyecandy- the game is moody- I just hope it doesn't get repetive and hope the environment changes a bit more. But in the end this is indeed DOOM on a next generation engine. The have succeeded in bringing DOOM to a new generation of graphics- Just one more side note- The physics in this game so far have not been as impressive as Farcry's but I'm so early in the game things can change. But im having tons of fun with it so far

Eb games said to pick up my copy at 7PM tonight- its 645 pm now-- !!! later ALL
