Yeah well, to be quite honest im glad valve finally got the kick in the face they deserved. 'part of the community' ...Gabe, u are obviously a much better comedian than we all thought. As part of the community you'd think that would entail 'commuunication' with the community. However all we awaiting suckers have done is sit back and think 'YEH TF2 end of 2001' , have the date come and go and still be here two years down the track with little to none information about whats going on. And here we have a similar story of hl2 with gamers sitting awaiting their game to be released on the 29th and low and behold, have the date come and go with little to none information or press releases, and there isnt even an official half-life 2 site from valve or sierra which is easy to find with any real info on the game.
