Selon Gamespy, Doug Lombardi aurait confirmé le retard d’Half-life², repoussant sa sortie à une éventuelle « Holiday release ». Donc Noël.
« The previously announced September 30th release date for Half-Life 2 is being pushed back. We are currently targeting a holiday release, but do not have a specific « in-store » date to share at this time. We will release that information as soon as we have confirmed a new date.
We’re very glad all this release date nonsense is over with, and think Valve should have confirmed this earlier. »
Il ne tenait pourtant qu’à eux que toutes cette « release date nonsense » cesse plus tôt.
Rappelons que Vivendi Universal Games France annonce la sortie du jeu en magasins pour début 2004.
