Steam News
(thanks Frans) has word that further preloads of Half-Life 2 content over the
online content delivery service are now underway, supporting a rumor of
Dubious Quality suggesting a
gold announcement nears. Here's word on the preloads:
The sixth phase of the Half-Life 2 preload begins to Steam account holders today. This will allow users to download the Half-Life 2 maps in encrypted form. No purchase is required to pre-load Half-Life 2, but is required to activate the game. The moment the game is made available, those who have pre-loaded and purchased the game via Steam will be ready to start playing.
So, we've got models, textures, sounds & music, and maps. Sounds like there's just one more load left--the engine.
No... Engine is already there. CS:Source is working as an HL2 mod, its using the hl2.exe base directory. But eventually there may be some updates (bug fixes) to the engine before the release...
