If it means a better game I''m all for it. Not too surprising I would say.
Certis beat me to it. - Elysium
Well the delay does not seem that long... I''m willing to wait another month. Than again they have been cramping allot of game releases in to the Holidays... that is no good though!

Didn''t I say this would happen?

I could have told you that.

Hmm, just not good.

I agree with that as well. I still hope that it will make it by X-mas, though...
But did you? If not, please feel free to drop a beta Horizons in One''s stocking...

This honestly ruined my night and probably week. I had hope for them as a powerhouse developer for being solid on their word when they first said it, just not going to happen in this industry. I have no idea what I will play now. I had pretty much been planning on a 2 week vacation to help kill the time before HL2 but now it does nothing...

I think know you should plan to use the 2 week vacation to PLAY, rather than wait, for HL2... 8)

Oh no... It''s like someone just killed Christmas.
Well... It''s not that long... I... I guess..
It really is the only game I''m looking forward to this year. And Savage.

It''s like someone strangled Christmas with the entrails of the Easter Bunny, while the Tooth Fairy did coke off it''s chest. As long as I don''t have to wait more than a month, or I will find them where they sleep and, well ... I''ll probably wait some more.

Er... Well, that''s another way of describing it

On the bright side, I think this constitutes the ""one delay before release"" that I spoke of. Fortunately, it isn''t that big of a delay.

Take heart, fellow Half-life 2''ians!
Shacknews has a story up that Valve has stated that they are unaware of any delays:
I agree that one shouldn''t jump to conclusions until they can confirm this, but at least it gives some hope for an undelayed release. Hopefully it was just some Vivendi rep talking out of his nether regions

But don''t forget that the publisher can delay the game if they want, correct me if I am wrong. So, what Gabe says isn''t the ""end-all"" word in this situation.
Hopefully he will make a threatening call to Vivendi today !!

I say we buy Vivendi! That oughta teach ''em!
I''ve got a few mil in my shoe here. Who else is willing to chip in?
Either that or we get our European forumgoers to go and throw rotten eggs and/or toilet paper at their head office.
Swing harder! Swing harder!
-- Lilarcor, Baldur's Gate 2
NOOOOOOOOO. Why!!!!!!!!!!!
Don''t make me wait any longer. I have to have my precious nowwww!!!
I was okay for September, but now I think I am going to need some serious therapy.
Hey I''m all in for travelling to France to mess up their head offices, somewhere this month I should finally pass my driving exams and then the brawl is on. You better not mess with us gamers in the world without being ready for some shock and awe! Bring it on!

Go to your profile and make sure ""Always attach my signature"" is set to ""yes""

So does anyone have any inside connections to confirm this? I do hope the second report is true...

I don''t how accurate this is but HL2 is still scheduled to be out on Sep 30, 2003. At least that what the EB employee told me!

Well. At last. We have a source inside! Because if the EB employee said it, it''s etched in stone!!!

Wow, just watched the newly released ""Tunnels"" video and it makes the delay even harder to swallow.....*tear*...

Here''s another update from ShackNews (originally from Evil Avatar):
So again things swing toward the original release date. Anyone for a game of ping-pong?

Yeah, this is getting bizzare, why no official release from Valve yet? I think someone is trying to create extra ""buzz"" but that doesn''t bother me.
