    Well my amazon pre-order date has changed from Oct 1, 2003 - Oct 2, 2003 to Coming soon--advance order now! So thats made me a wee bit hopeful.

    They've also changed the picture of the box...

    Some people =/ If you read up about Vampire Bloodlines you would know HL2 would go gold straight away, because Vampire Bloodlines is not being developed by Valve but will be on the Source engine. I read this months ago.

    Some people on the Hl2.net forums claim they have emails from gabe that gabe confirmed that this post was fake(which is btw very unrealistic cause its like 3 am there). There are also rumours that the ip-adress seems to be different...

    I almost got my hopes up once again...

    *update*

While we can't be 100% certain at this stage, all indicators point towards someone hacking the forum account. That said, all Gabe's previous posts on these forums are quite legitimate.

    We apologize for the confusion and will be investigating further. Theoretically, an IPB forum account should be very difficult to hack. Well, that was the theory at least. We'll keep you updated.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    The words "Lies, all lies" come to mind.

    I have to clarify.....

    If Valve don't release the Linux HL2DS before they release the game... I will kill them. All of them. I want my server up for release day damnit.

    To be honest I doubt he'd have just posted it on a forum and not have a thing said about it on official sites first =P

    He annoucned the pre-loadings on that forum before anyone else had i believe. Now wiggle that **** back here. :o

    HL2Fallout is down, probably because they A. got hammered or B. decided it was fake and didn't want to deal with it for a while. I'm going with the "fake" idea, because the timing of his post is sort of weird for someone in Seattle, where Valve is.

    Who from? If Gabe Newells forum account was hacked so easily, can we trust anything thats posted from any forum or website by a member of Valve? or do we sit, read every anoouncement by valve and think "Probably a hacker wrote this. This isnt true".

    I said that when the first speculations about a hoax were thrown around >_>

    By your logic, I can go to the first page and call everyone an idiot because it's fake, right?
