Half-Life 2: Aftermath Delayed

Posted by Zonk on from the back-to-playing-with-antlions dept.

exdeath writes "Halflife2.net announced that Valve's follow-up to last years acclaimed shooter Half-Life 2 will not be releasing in November 2005 as originally planned. From the post: 'Just wanted to give you a quick update on Aftermath, specifically its ETA. We're working very hard to finish this new episode for HL2, however, its going to take us a bit more time to get it into top shape. As such, the target release for this one is now Feb/March of next year.'" Confirmed by Valve. Ensaddening.

    I played the lost coast demo and minerva, can anyone recommend any others?

    How about the second part of MINERVA?

    ...

    Oh, hang on - not finished yet. Sorry... ;-)

    As for other maps, there's a couple around. I haven't played all that many, but there's some reviews here, more reviews here and another map here. There's a pretty cool total conversion here, but it's incredibly short and defiantly non-Half-Life 2.

    There's also eleventy billion work-in-progress multiplayer mods with endless unskinned weapons renders and concept 'art' drawn in crayon; if you look really carefully you might find one that's actually been released...
