Half-Life 2 Delayed [Sep 23, 2003, 11:59 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Shacknews has finally
received official word that Half-Life 2 will not be making its planned release
date of September 30, something a quick glance at the calendar can confirm.
Here's the quote from Valve's Doug Lombardi:
The previously announced September 30th release date for Half-Life 2 is being pushed back. We are currently targeting a holiday release, but do not have a specific "in-store" date to share at this time. We will release that information as soon as we have confirmed a new date.
If you are going to keep a game secret for over 4 years you would think you'd choose to unveil it when you're damn sure that it would be ready for prime time with the 4 month release date. If and all they had decided it will be done on the sept. 30th, they should have add 2 months to it to begin with incase of a delay or problems.
Plus it's even worse having to have gone through dozens of freaking rumors it's been delayed that caused yelling and confusion each time and then being reassured each time it's the 30th.
Then 7 days till release a single e-mail to some small site saying it's delayed is a pathetic way of telling everyone.
So odd that this could be another cruel joke. With something so important you think you could say it on your site.
At least though we'll have the benchmark and Halo to keep us busy. God, I bet Microsoft is happy that this just happened, talk about releasing a game at just the right time when crazed gamers are itching for something on their new maching now that HL2 is gone.
