    I imagine this is probably exactly what was recieved by all the gaming magazines, too. (Well, Edge and PC Zone and whoever else have been flashing HL2 indications around).

    Gosh, Monse you *were* right... about sucking at NS <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    $5 says we hear news about TF2 within a few months on this new engine too
  • p4Samwisep4Samwise Join Date: 2002-12-15 Member: 10831Members
    You know, since they're the same engine, I don't see any reason why TF2 wouldn't be bundled with HL2 as a mod....

    Other than that it would be too good to be true, of course.

    I have no idea what the flying hizell you are talking about.

    HL2. Pwnage. Guaranteed.

    Update to previous post at <a href='http://www.planethalflife.com' target='_blank'>PHL:</a>

    <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Valve's Doug Lombardi sent along the following:
    Half-Life 2 will be shown at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo.
    So all these wacky rumors should be cleared up by May 14th.
    <b>UPDATE: Gamer.nl has publicly leaked two bits of information: the first is that the magazine embargo ends on April 28th, so magazines can publish their Half-Life 2 articles after this date. It's already been shown to certain members of the press.

    They also leaked the big news we hinted at before: Half-Life 2 will be released this year.

    It should also be noted that this is pretty much the first official mention of Half-Life 2's existence from Valve.</b><!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    HL2 will be the greatest game ever made in the entirety of the universe, ad infinitum.

    Oh, and it'll have weapons you can use to blow up scientists, too.

    You forgot X-Men 2 on May 2nd. (Bwa ha ha!) And to a lesser extent, the Hulk on June 20th, though I doubt it will rock nearly as much.

    You forgot DOOM 3, Thief 3, Elite Force 2, and the expansion for No One Lives Forever 2. Also lets not forget The Matrix: Revolutions comes out 6 months after Reloaded and LOTR: The Return of the King.

    It sucks to be poor.

    Mabey I should have said In game screenshots.
    With all this info about Half-Life 2 running around, I'm too distracted to do my math homework. I don't like Math homework. Especially when it gets in the way of HALF-LIFE 2 NEWS!
