So the 2nd preload begins...and delay after delay. I don't understand why if they are preloading they are not announcing when its suppose to be out? Whats the purpose of preload if they can't release it for another month?

probably the reason they are doing that, is so everyone won't be clogging the servers with their dling of HL2 when the release date comes. The more people that do it now the better. Plus, it's better than just waiting for the cd version because you're guaranteed a copy right off the bat.

Actually, last I saw there was a confirmed release date for HL2. This info is a couple weeks old, and I'd be willing to bet that its been changed again, damn hackers. But the most recent release date for HL2 is actually a week before Halo 2 is released. Take that for what you will, that's the info I got from a Game Stop up in StL.

That alone would make my day...no...year.

they keep pushing it back...approriate name though, it takes half a lifetime to come out!
