No because it's a completly unfounded pice of information posted by a completely random person on one of numerous HL-2 discussion forums. Unless Valve makes an offical statment I won't be engaging in idol speculation. To be frank NOBODY knows whats really going on apart from Gabe Newell and mayby the top 10 guys in Valve HQ. Everything else is just pointless guessing...

But Valve has already publicly stated that they're aiming for a summer release long before this tidbit. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
And the entire HL2 dev team will probably know at least something of their timeline, considering they have to keep up with build and milestone deadlines.

I reckon they'll make it this time though. Valve said they may be able to announce an exact date at E3.
what he said lol
Valve already said "We're aiming for a summer release.", didn't you guys realize that could mean ANY time during the summer, from april to august...?
