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.
Appealing the masses Valve.

If I could rate this game a 0 Star I would, or maybe even some negative stars. Halflife 2 will not have the same physics as Halflife, it's supposed to be more realistic or something or other. MORE REALISTIC?! I'm sorry, but I want my gliding, strafe jumping, bunnyhopping and ramp sliding that is included in the most popular Halflife mod, which is TFC. If Valve ends up making a TF2 it will end up using the same physics engine as HL2. Which means that TF2 will be a cross between TFC and Cr4postrike. I'm sorry, but I don't want it to be at all like CS, can we say "headsh[]t." Valve, give me TFC physics with upgraded graphics and features and I will praise your company.
A realistic game does NOT mean it will be fun or enjoyable. In fact I can almost gaurantee that it won't be fun/enjoyable, just take a look at Counterh4ck(CS for you not so bright). It's supposed to be 'realistic', when really it isn't at all, but is the closest thing that can come to realistic in Halflife. And it's absolutely horrifyingly terrible. When I play it, I just want to crawl up and grab a pacifier because it's so bad.
Now theres the issue of steam. Steam is not going to work it never will! We all know what happened when Valve was going to release it, it got leaked out before the release and was INCREDIBLY buggy, crashed and was just all around the worse thing ever. Quit wasting your time on it Valve, it will never work. Which brings me to another point. How about you make some updates and fixes for TFC, don't waste time on a mediocre mod like CS. We all now TFC takes far more skill and learning than CS.
All in all, this will be the most overhyped and worst game to date.

That's right. Less than a month to go.
The doubters have been owned.
Look for a sea of 5 star ratings.

0 of 29 helpful? What is wrong with you people? It's a 3 because I'm commenting on an unreleased item. When it's released, there's no doubt that I'd give a 6 if I could.
Very close...almost too good to be true.

Right off the bat I've never, EVER, heard of this game at all! What's up with that? After playing the original, which is great(back in 98), I was so ready to get that sequal. Who can deny the chaos that's going to come when it comes out?! I'm not sure if it will suceed over the original but who knows? I'll tell you... only Valve knows these answers and their keeping it as a suprise. I HATE SUPRISES!!! Oh sure they've gave out hints and treats but that isn't enough for an enthusiest like me! So... if anyone knows, TRUELY knows, when this game is coming please tell me! I've got to know if it will work on my computer.

Half life copied doom 1's story by opening a portal, and now half life 2 copies doom 2's story by returning to earth. Go figure why I'm readin the opposite at the review for doom3???
This will blow our minds

This game will PWN you, i've had a chance to see it in action and wow, i get goose bumps everytime i see the video. My expected release date of the game is one year from the announced release date, since with half-life it was one year from thats expected release date, it would only make sense that this is whats going to happen will this. expected release: Sept. 30th 2004.
