5 Stars for all the game play videos I've seen and all the info I have heard about the game.
From Gabe Newell at Valve, the game will "go gold" and be handed over to Vivendi/Sierra in August for distribution. The game should be in stores/for sale in September. After all the delays, I honestly believe this will happen.
After downloading the Far Cry demo, I was not impressed. My system can handle everything on the highest setting, and the game just did not deliver the quality I was expecting. I believe, from what I have seen, that HL2 will deliver.
Other games to watch out for in 2004: Doom 3 and Halo 2 (XBOX only). The new Duke Nukem game will also be one to watch for - but in 2005? 2006?

(...). This game is every FPS gamers dreems and wishes for a long time all in one brilliant package. Not only does it have the same excelent heartpounding gameplay of the first one, but it's gotten even better. This time around your the same Gordon, but with all new fun tricks up you sleve. The graphics in this game are unrivaled by anything ever seen. They push the limits of graphical deign and hardware. One of the most amazing things about the game is the physics engine. Every single part of the environment has its own mas, weight and density. Because of these characteristics, they will react as they would in the real world. Even letters on signs can be interacted with. you can, at your own free will use tables of chairs to baracade doors, make walls of fire, shatter wood causing avalanches death and break chains or rope causing objects to swing as in real life. To acompany these state of the art graphics and physics is state of the art AI. The new AI system sllows enemies to think realisticle. They can now plan, think and work better as a team. while it may seem crazy, in this game, there are no scripted fighting scenes or object destruction. This game is a masterpiece. It is work of art and will definately be remembered for years to come.

I've played an early version of it and it looks amazing! One comment I have against Amazon though is that it said it was already released December 31, 1969! What's up with that? Even I couldn't get it that early and no computers could have run it... Oh well, buy this game, it rocks!

Half life 2, spectacular game, odd release date..

This is for all you people who rate games before they come out.half-life 2 is visually the most stunning looking game ever seen,but theres a competiter out there named halo2.I don't see why people think that half-life 2 will far be better than halo2.(which the first halo was much better than any of the first half-lifes).From seeing comparing half-life2 and halo2's features from previews.It looks like you can do much more on halo2 than half-life2.the first half-life wasnt that great anyway.sure half-life2 has all great graphics but as we know,great don't make a great game.so until both titles comes out in stores,nobody should be rating the game like its the dominent force of all games.when both games come out well see which one will be the better game.

Excellent

With Valve's evil marketing scheme, Gabe's direct lies to the press, and the ever so hyped "Preload", will this game live up to the intense hype? This game will need to out do every game that has come out since the original release date in order to be even worth the wait. I preordered HL2 in June and now we see again the date is pushed back. What am I supposed to do now, Gabe? Buy CS: Condition Zero? I think not. You see the only reason that this game has been held back repeatedly is because the Counter Strike: Condition Zero sales were no where near the amount Gabe and Valve would like them to be. My theory is that when enough CS:CZ's are sold HL2 will be released. So now we wait until most likely January or February 2005 for the release. Did Gabe go over and take release lessons from 3D Realms? In closing, though I love the first game and await the next, I hope Gabe loses money on this release.
