Like other big titles, HL2 street date is broken. Doug said that if this happens, they will unlock HL2. So hope n pray that HL2 is unlocked this weekend.

no idea, dumb fu*ck bought Halo2 and posted somewhere on steam (post now deleted) - that since when valve is owned by M$ ? and the CD/DVD is not working on PC....must have ordered it online or something. He got flamed a lot. Maybe was joking but was kicked off the steam forum.

Im trying not to buy into the hype of HL2 like I bought into the hype of doom, then played doom and was extremley disapointed. Im trying to keep it neutral so if its not the coolest thing since jesus I wont be to disapointed and can still give it a go. But after playing cs source, the excitment is stating to creep in nonetheless.

So, I'm a little bit fuzzy about this- do you have to register HL2 online before you can even play it? Or is that only for online gaming? My computer isn't on the internet right now.

u have to register it online - activate it.
they are doing a pretty good job abt piracy - watch out pirates - u might get a crack only after a while (if u can get one in the 2st place)

and for those who dont have internet access - forget playing games and get internet.

LMAO, funny pics. And I can't believe a site to Gabe exists. The Gallery music is especially hilarious.

That anti-piracy move by Valve is quite smart. I do wonder how many so far have actually been able to get a pirated copy and make it work.

I usually do have internet, but my current housemate does not want to share the connection, so until I move into this other place I have to use internet at school. It's too bad they didn't use a timed activation, like "You have to register this within a week" sort of thing. I suppose if they did that, though, the pirates would have found a way to get rid of it.

Can't you try to install it at school and activate it there? I wonder, does it function like MS' activation where it detects if a system has radically changed, to request contacting them.

Smart? If I bought HL2 not knowing I couldn't play it yet, then found out they won't validate it for a while, I'd download a HACK that allowed me to play.

And that would be the entry to a life of piracy. Think about it, hacks are the entry drug of pirates!

So I think they're encouraging piracy.

Hmm well it kinda boils down to willpower or something similar. I know I'd be patient. And hey, it was clear and was stated that November 16th (or was it 17th?) will be the date. So be it!

Boils for a lot of people.

Well, I agree, Vivendi has been only torturing Valve lately. Everytime I think of Valve now, I don't remember a strong company with that guy with the valve in his eye, I now think of a puppet controlled by the big guy. Really shameful. :frown:

ok, i admit i aint a as big a fan of HL2 as
<A HREF="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?tab=4&type=product&id=1056899605282&skuId=5756041" target="_new">http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?tab=4&type=product&id=1056899605282&skuId=5756041</A>

Also Best Buy better watch out. Those retards might get sued by Vivendi for letting games out early. Also see the system requirements.
