Incidentally, the sound stuttering bug (actually three bugs, to do with texture loading problems), has been solved and an update released through Steam." Relatedly, Highpriest writes "According to gamerankings.com, Half Life 2's average review is higher than Halo 2's. Half Life 2 has recieved a 96.6% overall rating wheras Halo 2 came in with a 95.1%."

  1. No Product Activation by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    The only thing they could possibly do that would be newsworthy or exciting for me is release a game I can buy on a shelf in my local store and have it play on a PC without product activation. I won't buy product-activated ANYTHING, including HL2. Who needs it?

    Everything else pales in comparison. Gabe and the others could publicly disembowel themselves while drinking day-glo paint on the steps of the White House, and I would yawn and change the channel. Stop the product activation, or go away and die. FU, Valve.
