An S?dhe

That looks one hell of a game......ordered it & Gta San Andres...gonna be some busy gaming next month

i hope i'll be able to find somewhere to play it now. As for DoD, i played it a bit before and tbh i did't really like it that much

the actual, non beta game

lol, bold boy downloading stolen code!

Yea san adreas looks cooool.
aparently theres no hookers in this one.
boooo!

why r u getting the gold version?? U only get a couple of extra things. All the games u can download freely (except CS:CZ). I just remembered that i didn't include tax and shipping, that gold package is ?113!!! jesus! that a feckin rip off! If i was still going to be here when it came out i'd wait and buy it on play or somewhere.

Ah yea, but there hardly forcing u to buy it. You can get the game and CS:Source for 30euro. That AND HL1:Source, their entire back catalogue for about 50euro. OR, if ur just a big nut like me, you can get the gold pack.

HalfLife was the first game i ever played on PC (when i was 13). It is the best game i have ever played, and it made a seriously dent in my life as a PC gamer (the one game i could use against all my console playing mates as a kid). Ive been waiting for this game to come out for so long, and now that its here, i have no problem in forking out 50+ extra quid so i can say i bought the gold pack.

The money is going to a Developer, who if it wasnt for their tireless work with both games, changed the face of FPS Gaming (& PC Gaming) and without whom, we wouldnt be at the stage we are at now.

So i have no problem in showering them with cash.
Cos im sure ill get 10times that in joy with this game.

(and i kinda feel bad for playing a hacked copy of the origional, so i sort of owe them)

I've been 'pre-loading' via STEAM because its a cool idea and I have a voucher from ATi.
The idea of bypassing distribution so Valve's own service is class in my book.
I entered my key to get the bronze package and it unlocked CS:Source then and there for me.
Seeing HL2.exe in the corner of the window was beautiful.  :cry:

Hopefully I'm done pre-loading. 6 phases at about 2 hours each.

I didnt get a voucher with my radeon

Id lost interest in HL2 cause of the constant soap opera bullsh!t, with code thefts, delays, valve suing vivendi yadda yadda, but all the reviews so far seem really positive, like itll make as big an impact on gaming as the original HL did, so im excited again  :twisted:

Devil, whats CS:source like??

Also where can u get HL2 for ?30??

Sorry i ment 40. The bronze pack is $50. Which is 40Euro.

a big hipacrit! telling off syco for playing it. shame one u! i never did play that leaked copy

I was being Sarcastic . i hope you were too.
Can never tell with you Cork. Too busy givin Gobelljobs if you ask me

---------------

I feel for you poor guys who got those vouchers. Must have been before christmass when you got them.

Oh and CS source has had mixed reactions my the CS community apparently. There are a few places where they have door facing the wrong way around, and other little niggles, but their all just looking for sumthin 2 complain about probably.

I was fairly distraught to find out they got rid of the 3 chicks is de_italy, but then i found out, that with the new physics engine you can actually kill people with smoke grenades, simply by fucknig them off someones head . But your knives about ladies, smoke kills are the new humiliation.

Hmmmm. Progress
