Have everyone sharped there keyboards? Becuase tonight (Swedish time) / today (US time) (15th November) is the day everyone have dreamed about. HALO 2, no HALF LIFE 2, can also be written ½ life 2 or ½ life 2 = 1 or ½ past life 2.
ANYWAY, this is the day. This IS the DAAAY! To a shame of them who live's in north pole. Think the release date is somewhere in year 2099 there...

We in Sweden have just to waith untill tommorrow, but I'm shure mutch mutch mutch mutch mutch information will be revealed toDAY!

Its the 17th for me at my shop!

Ive just got back from my local game shop! They have Halflife 2 there now (just came in) but the shop had to sign a form saying they would not sell it untill the morning of the 17th! Bummer as ive already paid for my copy.
Now to Munsterbuster, I could have been sneaky and had my picture taken with my discs in the shop to claim that bubblegum prize.
And apparently due to the activation it wont be released for rental!!! It apparently will only work on the machine it was activated on! I really dont know how this will work as what happens if I buy a new machine?

[tbaher]

maybe you re-activate it and stops working on machine 1 and works in machine 2
that fixes the rental problem right?
just a theory

[munsterbuster]

The global activation would be 9 a.m. Tuesday CET. And I bet, that steam is ****ing down at the moment. ^^

Don't think so. In Sweden the Valve Nordic (or what they could) are gonna have a release party, MEANS that the game will be installed in numbered of computers and playeble around 18.00 16th November 2004 swedish time. And be sould in Sweden 16th November. Realy think the STEAM server should be up then!
