Oh boy, oh boy...

Halflife is back. Good thing I preloaded the first 4 packages already. Gonna get package No5 tonight.

We're only days from release now! That plus Pacific Fighters in about 2 weeks - plus AH update... so many games so little time!

For all who do not have a clue what I am brabeling about: http://www.steampowered.com

If you don't use it, Ill take your DoD source code.

Not a big fan of HL myself. I dont see what all the hype is about.

I got the Silver (I'd have gotten the one with the hat if I had the money).

Man, CS: Source may be buggy, but it's way more fun than the original could ever have hoped to be. I'm still waiting to play regular HL2

Pacific Fighters should be good, but the only game I'm really counting the day's till is Silent Hunter III.

mmm so many good games, and ive got a 3rd rate system and no money, it blows...

i beleive i have to start a "buy vort a decent system" fund, 5-10 bucks from 100 people should cover it

Kirin, how are you sure it's only days away? I've also been preloading... cant wait!

By the way, the Bronze Silver Gold packages are um... cheap

Good marketing strategy though.... Valve sure is going to milk this... bastards delayed it long enough.

Kirin · « **Reply #8 on:** October 12, 2004, 12:27:07 AM »

Well it's rather VU than Valve who is causing the delays...

I made the assumption that we are close to release since this is the first preload after Valve send its RC to VU. So any changes/updates are probably based on the quality assesment of the publisher which means the current version is going to be the final one. That plus CS:S is done and the packages are ready to order.

United: Ah well, I think I gonna have a peek into DoD:S myself

Always found it one of the best WW2 mods out there just technically soooooo outdated.

What I really wonder about is HL:S.

SH III will be great - but hasn't it been postponed till 2005?

90$ to get the DoD Stream ?
What if one doesn't want fricking CS ?

Yes it has been postponed till 2005, as the developers follow the subsim.com forums and everyone was asking them to include good dynamic campaigns. So they decided not to release for xmas so they can include a dynamic campaign.

Fully marks to them I say, for listening and not rushing it out. Will be well worth the wait, unlike some sims.

<-- will wait for DOD:$ to release.

Kirin · « **Reply #12 on:** October 12, 2004, 02:19:33 AM »

Err... fd ski, HL2 silver includes DoD:S for 59.95 USD - unless you want the hat and poster no need to go for the gold edition. CS:S is "free" anyway since you get it with the most basic HL2 edition also. I think the silver edition is great value - getting several stand-alone games for a little more than a new retail - plus HL2 of course!

SunKing · « **Reply #13 on:** October 12, 2004, 04:42:18 AM »

My question..

why do the CS boys get to pay less ( bronze ).

and the DOD fans like myself are forced to pay more (silver)?

Furball · « **Reply #14 on:** October 12, 2004, 05:02:35 AM »

because all the CS players are spotty 14 year olds with no money?
