Half-Life 2 dev kit coming soon?
Post allegedly from Valve engineer says the SDK for the eagerly awaited title should ship out "soon."
Gamers looking for a positive sign in the ongoing Half-Life 2 saga may be in luck. A recent Halflife2.net post features an e-mail attributed to Valve engineer Rick Ellis which says the software developer kit for the mega-anticipated sequel "will be released soon." Presumably, the game's release would be not far behind--possibly even ahead--of the SDK's.
Interestingly, the e-mail also says a "legal hang-up" was the last hurdle Valve had to overcome before releasing the SDK. This revelation caused some speculation that physics-engine-creator Havok may have possibly sued Valve over the now-infamous code leak.
When contacted by GameSpot, Valve would not comment on whether the speculation on the lawsuit had any merit. In fact, the development house didn't comment on anything. So for now, Half-Life 2's official release date remains April 2004.

And also keep in mind that, as evidenced by CS:CZ, you can't even believe them when they say its finished anymore...
