Half-Life 2 Orange/Black Delayed to End of 2007

Posted by Zonk on from the good-things-come-to-those-who-wait-and-wait dept.

Wowzer writes "EA and Valve today announced the product configurations of Half-Life 2's The Black Box and The Orange Box, while at the same time confirming another worldwide release date delay from summer 2007 to winter 2007. If you thought the delay was the only bad news, then artwork fans haven't seen the ugly new boxart yet."

    Once you add it to your steam account you can sign in and download it anywhere...even if you originally just had the physical copy. You can't play it WITHOUT steam so there's no benefit at all from having a physical copy.

    Steam + dial-up Internet + download doesn't work all that well. Steam + dial-up Internet + physical copy does work.

    Use offline mode? If your offline mode doesn't work, then it's broken and you should fix it.
