Nice to see there is still massive communication faliure between Vialve, Vivendi and Retailers. A few days ago I visited mt local Game store here in the UK. Upon asking when I would be able to pre-order HL2 I was greeted with a reply that when something like ' Oh we don't know when it will be available ' Even better was my second question ' Will you be selling the Collectors Edition ' Again the response of ' Never heard of it ' was even more saddening.

PC Gamer here in the UK has also a review of the finished game, so why the delay? The magazine only review finished code so it is even more curious that they also mention that Vivendi refuses to confirm that HL2 is finished and in there posession?

Wtf is going on? When I want to be able to purchase the product but no-body seems to no either

A If it is complete

B When I will be able to pre-order (In the UK)

C When it will be released

What ever happened to honesty....

Lets face it if HL2 appears as an ISO on P2P servers three weeks before the UK gets official retail copies who is going to bother to pay for it.
