I said we were planning on delivering the game to Sierra in August... to the best of our admittedly weak planning abilities, we are looking at August," Valve CEO Gabe Newell told hl2fallout.com, revealing that the game should be gold next month - and on sale in late August or September by our reckoning. "Half-Life 2 is about 3.5GB uncompressed and about 2GB compressed," Newell also revealed in his latest posting, adding "This doesn't include CS:Source, HL-1:Source, DoD:Source, the SDK, or whatever. It's just the straight HL-2 sizes."

Gabe mentioned in another forum today that they are shooting for a release candidate by the endof the month.

HL-2, we're looking to RC at the end of the month.

Looks like they will make the August Gold date. So, mid to late September hopefully.

Well downloading 2-3GB is huge even if you do have a broadband connection. Then hopefully have some PAR files to check/repair missing/corrupted files.

I would love to have it on a DVD disc, but no DVD-R burner yet. I wonder if stores honor the ATI coupon

Don't worry by the time it comes out you'll running dual 10 gig procs in one chip package.

And I'm especially grateful they told me I need a mouse and keyboard to play. I was afraid I'd have to use some form of electromagnetic telepathy to control the game.
