So, What's Going To Come Out First?
<div class="IPBDescription">Half Life 2 or Doom 3?</div> Sadly enough, the thread heading is all too serious:
<a href='http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=3568878' target='_blank'>http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?t...storyID=3568878</a>
Now to prevent this thread breaking some forum rules, this will not be a place to discuss the HL2 leak. The above article is a news story that simply informs us that due to the leak, HL2 has been delayed until at least April 2004. Seeing as it's reuters doing the reporting I tend to believe them.
Apart from this being terrible news, a question does rise: which, of the two big FPS shooters coming in 2004 (HL 2 and Doom 3), will hit the shelves first? What does everyone think?

For the record though, probably doom 3 first ^^
Valve is aiming for a holiday release.
Doom has been delayed until 2004.
bye
Edit: the page didn't load before so I didn't see it. I is wrong, Doom it is.

Well this is actually sort of good news. Sort of.
It means that all the games which are coming out soon (Max Payne 2, Halo PC, UFO aftermath [oh wait that's already out], Call of Duty) won't conflict with HL2, so now I have a reason to buy call of duty, yay!
It also means the entire gaming comunity now hates the hacker who stole the code, which should assist with his identifying, aprehending, beating, and public execution with a big axe.
But on the other hand, AAAAAARGH!!!! NO HL2 TIL NEXT YEAR!!! NOOOOOO!!!!!!
Doom it must be, I guess...

I'll go with Doom 3 *buys a new video card
But then again, Half-Life ruled the scene, so maybe HL2 is going to rule too...
It's really exciting how 2 classic shooters meet each other. You cant compare doom 2 with Half-life cause of the time difference which they were made in. And these 2 you can.
As long as I can get my hands on a copy of Halflife 2 whenever its released, I'll be good. Although I am sad to see the holiday season release crushed by some random expletives on the net, its good to know that Valve is doing its best to release the best product it possibly can, and these recent events and decisions are proof of that.
It is very very unlikely that I will purchase Doom 3, even if it is released sooner, as I am a bigger fan of games with online multiplayer capabilites (like Halo for PC, and of course Half Life), and Doom's lack of multiplayer is very unappealing.

or for each day a game is delayed for any unreasonable reason we get a dollar off at any major retail store or game vendor
Nope.
If HL2's delayed again, I'm going to kill someone.
