Posted by alpha at 16:45 6/11/2004.

A thread on the steam forums has revealed the worldwide release times for Half-Life 2 on Steam. The UK release time is given as 8:00 AM on November 16th. This is based on a release time from Valve of midnight, and Valve are based in Washington State, USA which is 8 hours behind us.

In related news, the seventh phase of the HL2 preload has started. This time round it's all the localiased content for the game. Simply restart your Steam client to get the updates.

	Weebull 18:02 6/11/2004	Finally convinced myself to get HL2 through Steam, since I'll get my grubby mitts on DOD:S when it comes out. Shame though, cos I really don't agree with the way Valve have doen this whole Steam thing... [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Del` Sniper's Alley 00:30 7/11/2004	I'm not going to get it until I find out if I'll need a new graphics card or not first. Not the sort of game you'd want to play through with all the detail on low I think. If it's faster than Far Cry I won't bother, if it's slower then I will. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Del` Sniper's Alley 00:31 7/11/2004	Oh and before you shell out on Need for Speed Underground 2, make sure you try the demo first... [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
