Half-Life 2 gold Monday?
http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/08/27/news_6106035.htmlValve head drops a golden bomb on the Half-Life 2 Fallout forums.
The long, dramatic saga of Half-Life 2\'s development cycle may finally be coming to a close. Earlier this evening, Gabe Newell, the head of Valve Software, left a short, but sweet post on the HL2Fallout.com forums, simply stating "We\'re going gold Monday..."
Earlier this week, Valve began preloading the highly-anticipated game through the company\'s Steam service. The only files that were uploaded were "set-in-stone" items, such as audio, textures and the like. But, if the game is indeed going gold as of this Monday, it could mean that a full, purchasable version of Half-Life 2 could be available practically as early as next week.
GameSpot will bring you more on this developing story as it becomes available. In the meantime, feel free to catch up on all the latest Half-Life 2 happenings with our previous news coverage of the game.
Now I hope my computter is strong enough.
