Half-Life Fallout has word from Gabe
Newell on Steam packages for Half-Life 2, which will be made available for
purchase next week, allowing another chance for gamers to pre-purchase the still
not-gold game, in spite of recent doubts cast upon its release date
(story). Each of the three game bundles includes
Counter-Strike: Source, and word is the full final version of the revamped
version of the military shooter mod that comprises Half-Life 2 multiplayer play
will be made available on Steam at the time the bundles can be purchased. Here's
the summary of the various retail and
Steam editions of Half-Life 2:
Retail Boxes
• Standard Edition — includes HL2 and CS:Source. Ships on six CDs, in one of three box-art packages (Gordon, Alyx or the G-Man).

*To be made available upon product's release.
Here's a question for anyone in the know:
As long as they release an SDK, then won't we be able to mod for HL2 even before the retail box is released?
When is the SDK being released to us and will we be able to produce and play mods before HL2 hits retail?
