It comes out in September?&#33;?&#33; Theyve been talking about this game for sooo long..how can it take so long to get the game out...I bet its not even that great, sierra games ALWAYS seem like low quality POS to me...but i guess we will see.

Sierra aren&#39;t making the game-- they are the publisher, not the author. the game is being made by Valve Software, who have a sterling resume that consists of... uh... Half-Life... and... uh... mods for Half-Life. basically they&#39;ve only made one game, previous to HL2. :lol: [/b][/quote]
it&#39;s easily confused. but yea, sierra is the publisher/marketer/stupid rich shiteads who make &#036; off of what Valve made. Go VALVE. too bad a lot of ppl will dl the game instead of buying it. i&#39;ll buy it if&#39;s its good, and not too easy.

Thanx again for the feedback, cheers AdamP2P for the link, looks like there has been no &#39;interception&#39;(:)) and just a slight change in shipping. I&#39;ll post my SN etc and hope for the best. No doubt I&#39;ll download it when it does come out (unless it will be a global release), but I&#39;ll also buy the original too.

I was under the impression that it gives you a full version of the game, but you have to download it off their webiste at Valve. Or various servers.

You may download it, along with the rest of the HL series, or you can get it sent by mail.

I&#39;ll scan in my voucher if possible...

10 mins and I should have it up :)


Stupid me lost the power cable. Oh well. I&#39;ll have another look and if not I&#39;ll get one later.

it is the full game

a note to **GASHA** : did u get the gfx card from ATI or from a 3rd party?

if the voucher is NOT included, and youi have the "Built by ATI" 9800xt, RETURN IT IMMEDIATELY AND REPORT THEM TO ATI AND THE BBB&#33;&#33;&#33; the voucher specifically says that the game cannot be returned if it is not included, and this means that the retailers who sold u the card did 1 of two things:

• they accepted the card as a return w/o the voucher (a violation)
• they removed the card before they sold it to you (a MAJOR VIOLATION)

in both cases, both ATI and the BBB need to be notified.
