Ok.. so.. "holiday season"? Are they telling us that they needed to wait until 6 days before the deadline to decide that they need 3 more months to finish the game? They never had any intention of releasing it on September 30th. They just lied so that their stock wouldn't be affected.
**slaps u all** its not delayed, its coming, any statement that have allegedly been made are untrue. the release date is still in 6 days time for i have family in the business
Like I said this article is no different then every single other one that has been posted on the subject, if they were untrue why should this one be different.

Honestly, you guys who think the release date is unchanged need to stop kidding yourselves. Unless the Atlantean unicorns are delivering it with the help of Santa, his elves, and his magic reindeer, you are not going to see HL2 on September 30th. It's a physical impossibility.

Although I doubt the logistics of delivering Half-Life 2 by September 30th is plausible. I do think it would be possible to ship the first copies by then...if it went gold today...or possibly tommorow.
