Xbox Half-Life 2 Late Summer Release

GamesIndustry.biz is reporting that Valve plans to have Half-Life 2 available on the Xbox during late summer in the U.S., and early fall in Europe. From the article: "The content of the game for Xbox is now thought to be exactly the same as the PC outing, although some dilution of texture detail and auto-aiming are likely to grace the port." The article also mentioned that, at the moment, Aftermath is likely to be PC only.

Late summer in Europe as well

[Jarlsberg]

The blurb is misleading, as the article specifically says that it won't be ready until late summer, both in Europe and the US.

Here's a quote:
Valve's Doug Lombardi added credence to the news this morning, but fell short of specifying a release date.

"We plan to finish development of Half-Life 2 Xbox in late summer and have it available everywhere very shortly thereafter," he told Eurogamer. "No specific date to share just yet." US reports are suggesting that the game is to be finished in August.

ANOTHER GREAT GAME this year?!!!!

Doom 3, Jade Empire, Unreal Championship 2, Forza Motorsport, Splinter Cell 3, Black Hawk Down(I'm excited about its 50 player online play) and now Half Life 2!!! I can't possibly afford to get all these games :(.

Steam enabled?

Well? Or will you require Live to play it?

Re:Awesome for Europe

but I refused to play it because of the whole Steam activation controversy

Be happy you have an option. My new home (a student home) has internet that requires a proxy. Try telling Steam that. Even if there is such an option somewhere I can't see it because Steam quits immediately when I start it.
