Half-Life® 2 to Ship to Retail Outlets Globally This Holiday Season

LOS ANGELES (October 18, 2004) - Vivendi Universal Games (VU Games) today announced that Half-Life® 2, the sequel to one of the most critically acclaimed PC titles in gaming history, will ship to retail outlets around the world in November. The Company confirmed that Half-Life 2, developed by Valve Software, has gone gold with a planned retail street date of November 16, 2004. The countdown to the highly anticipated retail street date has begun around the world, as VU Games completes plans to ship localized versions of Half-Life 2 simultaneously in English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Korean, Thai and Japanese.

"Half-Life 2 has surpassed our expectations in every sense, its high-quality graphics, ground-breaking physics and immersive first-person shooter gameplay set a new standard for PC action games," said Bruce Hack, CEO of VU Games. Half-Life 2 will go down as one of the best-selling PC titles, and we are thrilled to deliver this ground-breaking title to the worldwide gaming community this fall.

Hailed as ...the best game ever made by PC Gamer, Half-Life 2 earned a top-rated review score of 98, the highest score bestowed by the magazine in more than six years. The game has received numerous accolades for its technical excellence, captivating story and addictive game play, including more than 10 awards and nominations at the 2004 Electronic Entertainment Expo. In addition to being named "Best PC Game" by 1up.com (Ziff Davis) and Gamespy.com, the title also received a "Technological Excellence on PC" award from IGN.com. CNNMoney.com stated that Half-Life 2 will redefine what gamers expect from their games visually and the gameplay is a lot of fun as well.

The global anticipation for Half-Life 2 has reached unprecedented heights, as consumers around the world mark their calendars to buy the game at retail on November 16th. The Half-Life 2 product will include Counter-Strike: Source. VU Games will also release a Half Life 2 Collector’s Edition that will include Half-Life 2 in DVD-ROM format, Counter-Strike: Source, Half-Life: Source, a free limited edition t-shirt, and a Half-Life 2 Prima strategy guide book.

wtf?! 98% ??

16. November ... bissl Zeit zum saugen habts ja noch

btw, kann jemand ( oder weis jemand ) im Steam-Forum fragen, ob beim Steam-Kauf auch CDs/DVDs dabei sind ( mit dem Gold-Package kriegt man ja sachen zugesandt )

Wenn der Kauf erfolgreich war, wird sofort jegliche Software auf Steam auf freigeschalten gesetzt. Nur HL2, HL1:S und DOD:S ist noch Preload-Status.
Wenn sich da nix getan hat, hast nix gekauft.

If I purchase a package through Steam, will Valve mail me the game on CD or DVD format?
º No

Shit!
Hättens wenigstens beim Gold dazugeben können, da wird ja eh ein ganzes Paket verschickt.

Habs schon per Steam gekauft, hatte aber eh keine andere Wahl. ATI-Gutschein konnte ich nicht beim Kauf der Collectors Edition einlösen
