Newell On Half-Life 2 Delay · Slashdot Mirror

Thanks to GameSpot for their brief interview with Valve's Gabe Newell, in which he discusses when the ravenously-awaited Half-Life 2 will finally come out. He laments: "I hate release dates because no matter how hard we try, we screw them up. We held back talking about our release date going into September 30th because I wanted to have a much clearer idea of what day we were going to ship on." As for an actual day, he offers: "Right now all we can say is holidays of this year, which to me feels really unfortunate." Elsewhere, Newell refuses to elaborate on the little-known multiplayer modes for the game, saying they're "...something we're not talking about because we want to keep it as a surprise for our customers as we roll into our launch cycle."

I, for one, welcome our new half-living overlords. Remember now, if you are half-alive, you are still one half-life more alive than *BSD!

Losing my sight, losing my mind.
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine.

La, la, la...

It's all waiting now.
