NOOOOO!!! No HL2 this year!

[shekondar]

The Register is reporting that HL2 will not be released until next year... They're saying it's because of the code that was leaked...

 

[OulOat]

NOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[Mr.IncrediblyBored]

Until it comes from VALVe, it's just a rumour.

 

[Schadenfroh]

but the register never lies.......

 

[SinnerWolf]

since it's all opinion at this point, here's mine.
a well orchestrated publicity stunt . porbably a way to give them more time for the release (excuse + publicity = good), build up hype for the game, or possibly some sort of real life tie in to the game's plot.

I was thinking that myself. If you KNOW your gonna miss the release date, make up a publicity stunt. I mean damn, you'd think Valve would have a LITTLE more secure network no? If it were me, any PC with sensitive info like that wouldnt be on the Net, and would be on an isolated LAN.
On the other hand, Valve doesnt strike me as a company to pull some gimmick's like this just to give them a few months longer on the release.
Ah well. I dont care either way. Since the release of Steam, I dont have much interest anyways in there products.

QUIT REPOSTING THE SAME SH!T OVER AND OVER AGAIN! VALVE DESERVED THIS BY NOT INVESTING ENOUGH $$$ INTO SECURITY, SO DONT FEEL ANY SYMPATHY FOR THEM. THERE ARE A LOT OF GOOD GAMES OUT THERE. JUST PLAY THEM.

No one deserves to have their work stolen just as no one deserves to be raped. No one EVER deserves to have a crime commited against them.

It's on CNN Money guys, it's official, the delay is a direct result of the code theft.

the only one i would feel sympathy for is the programmers there... not the president, not the vice president, not the rest....
either way, programmers are still gonna get paid what they earned, and in this case, they will get paid more to rewrite the code and etc, so it shoudln't be much of a problem for them either.

i agree with you that no one deserves to have their work stolen, but if you have a bleeding wound in the middle of atlantic ocean, sharks wont have trouble finding you. valve had earned enough money to invest in security. i think the first public announcement about the subject made it clear that these dudes really didn't have much of a protection to outside world... they left open gaps everywhere obviously, and people took advantage of it...

 

[brian_riendeau]

When it comes to security, money is not the most important thing. Simply following good practices and keeping the human mistakes down if far more important than any ammount of money that can be spent on security products.

somehow I fear that this will lead to "Blame the Frenchies" since Vivendi Universal publishes Valve/Steam games

On another note, I have no intention of upgrading my current fastest rig and making is a dns server anytime soon (1.3 celery, gf4/4200). And this "holiday" season really doesn't affect any of my holidays

So Max Payne 2, and halo will be my prospects for the winter season. When april rolls around I would have saved enough money to really upgrade my rig:

Serial AtA drives
Athlon64 or pentium4 T
DvD-+RW
DDR2
lcd monitor

then doom3 and hl2 will be out

Forget Halo, wait for UT2k4.

UT2k4? WTh for? Is it as cr@ptacular as UT2K3? Same engine I suppose also.. please man. I still play the original UT. 2k3 didn't make me jump ship, and I have a feeling 2k4 will not either

Max payne is a good game and I expect the second one to be much better
Halo also because I have a friend whose been boasting about the damn thing for almost 2 years now, and I didn't do so well on co-op mode (dang controls ) I'll show him the POWWWA of keyboard and mouse

When I first played UT2k3 I dismissed it as well. It seemed too different and quakish. After forcing myself to play it over a LAN I've really begun to like it. Couple UT2k3 with vehicles and you've got UT2k4, which should be even better. As for the engine, it is infinitely better than the crappy halo engine. Halo looks like crap, and despite that it still runs like crap. I honestly don't understand what people see it Halo.

Interesting, that never occurred to me. Funny.

I think they're just using this hacker thing as an excuse. They were going to be delayed anyways,.
