No Half-Life 2 on Steam?

Posted by Zonk on from the think-of-the-children dept.

Karl the Pagan writes "Following on the heels of a previous Steam-related story, Vivendi Universal may block Half-Life 2 distribution via Steam. Additional motions can be filed until November 18th, but since Sierra/VU have final QA approval on the HL2 gold is it possible they could delay the game until after the court decides on these motions?"

    HL2 is worth the wait, no matter all negative press, I believe it will be superior to Doom III. Gives me more time to buy a new vid card...

    First post?

      I played the demo of Doom III this weekend, and all I can say is that it was a snooze.

      The graphics and sounds were indeed incredible, but the game experience was the same old tired hack-n-slash of old. If you still love the "find keys, bullets, and dodge monsters in dark rooms" from the 90's, you'll like it. Hopefully, this is what the designers wanted. I uninstalled it within a 1/2 hour, just not anything new for me.

      Call of Duty United Offensive on the other hand, resurrected my gaming experience with COD, and provided hours of fun single player, and a multiplayer experience that I won't soon get tired of. I'm hoping HL2 will provide the same experience.
