From the horses mouth on HL2 Fallout... http://www.hl2fallout.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4221&st=0 -- Grumps > From the horses mouth on HL2 Fallout... > http://www.hl2fallout.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4221&st=0 This whole pre-load malarky just got a whole lot more annoying then, if it goes gold it's rubber stamped and finished, so people getting it off Steam could just get it there and then but instead we have to wait for them to make CDs we aren't gonna be buying! Grr! >>From the horses mouth on HL2 Fallout... >>http://www.hl2fallout.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4221&st=0 [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > could just get it there and then but instead we have to wait for them to > make CDs we aren't gonna be buying! Grr! Where did you get that idea? Do you know this for sure? Gone gold "is just a saying" for it being ready to duplicate and release - whether on CD or digital network (Steam). Please note that (a) the first preload is just that - the first one (there will be at least 2) and (b) the game is NOT gold yet and (c) they have prereleased the static load for people who wish to download the game over the internet in order to reduce the stresses on the server when the game is finally available for play. Even MS did that and they have far more server resurce than Valve. > >>From the horses mouth on HL2 Fallout... > >>http://www.hl2fallout.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4221&st=0 [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > just a saying" for it being ready to duplicate and release - whether on > CD or digital network (Steam). More an assumption really, CS:Source Beta was sat ready to go on my hard drive but Valve still made me wait until they said it was ok to play it. I just assumed that they would keep HL2 locked on the 'Coming soon' status until the official release date comes. But if they let us play as soon as it goes gold then thats great! It would certainly be an incentive to get people to try Steam. >>>From the horses mouth on HL2 Fallout... >>>http://www.hl2fallout.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4221&st=0 [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >when the game is finally available for play.

I preloaded last night just for kicks and this morning it said HL2 was on my PC ready for release when they say go. >I preloaded last night just for kicks and this morning it said HL2 was >on my PC ready for release when they say go. There will be more preloads before the game is released.  SignatureAndrew, contact via interpleb.blogspot.com Help make Usenet a better place: English is read downwards, please don't top post.

Highly unlikely, probably just a number of graphics, sound and texture files. The executable will certainly only be loaded when you fork over the cash. Yet another scummy Valve half-truth for the unwashed masses......since there is no public way of monitoring exactly what is in any Steam download, you cannot directly disprove the claim either.......... And I am sure that you are in the market for useful bridges too ? John Lewis Good to know but useless... Game won't be available in shop before october.... Can someone explains this to me ???

This post has been confirmed a hoax. An anonymous imposter guessed Gabe's password, "gaben", and made the false claim. Valve has confirmed that this is was a hoax on the Steam Forums. I do not wish to fuel the fire of speculation, however, I was intrigued to see this post on an ATI web site. http://www.teamradeon.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=602&highlight=#top kpc > >From the horses mouth on HL2 Fallout... > >http://www.hl2fallout.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4221&st=0 [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > guessed Gabe's password, "gaben", and made the false claim.

Why would Valve even say anything at the interview? We can only hope they really did. > I do not wish to fuel the fire of speculation, however, I was intrigued to > see this post on an ATI web site.

ATI paid Valve $6 million dollars. Valve owes ATI a great deal, so I imagine they would be very cooperative during an interview for ATI... > "As expected when we did an interview with Valve not long ago (we couldn't > say anything), the game will be going gold."

Yes... "the game will be going gold"... Most games do at some stage. >> "As expected when we did an interview with Valve not long ago (we >> couldn't say anything), the game will be going gold." > > Yes... "the game will be going gold"... > > Most games do at some stage. That's what I though. It's like saying, we have breaking news. The game will be released. Or, the game will require a monitor.

Look at DNF. >Perhaps that is 'breaking news'. > >Look at DNF. DNF is already out Just buy DOOM3 turn on the cheat code to get all weapons then blast the crap out of zombies all the while say over and over "come and get some" Works for me. Ramzi made the post, I think I'll pay attention to it. Come on with it! :) McG. > I do not wish to fuel the fire of speculation, however, I was > intrigued to see this post on an ATI web site.
