Hehe, just picked up PCGamer and PCZone UK editions, one gave it 96% and the other 97%. Those scores may be a touch high but it did tweak my interest a tad.

I'm really looking forward to it as well, but I have no idea which varient to buy. It was bad enough when there was collectors and normal editions, but for the indecisive like me this is a nightmare.

Word is Gabe Newell is going to be on Larry King on Monday night and do a strip tease with balloons that will reveal the message 'Half-Life 2 has Gone Gold!' tatooed on his body.

Gabe should hire Stevie Case for that

So if HL2 goes gold tomorrow will you change the thread title from Monday to Friday?

I think CeeKay is referring to
this post in Bill's blog.
The same source that told me RC5 was recently submitted to Vivendi for testing just e-mailed me this:
Sierra should announce Half-Life 2 is gold tomorrow along with a release date. If not tomorrow then very soon, the game is done.

Right. Well, I suppose it's a high time for that, since November's looming on the horizon and Vivendi wanted it to be released on said month.

Well I hear from the "Grape vine" that it is going to ship the first week of november. So, this isn't too much of a surprise in my mind at least. Huzzah! For HL2: Half Life too.
Cheers,

Those are only rumours. When we see an official press release from Vivendi then it has gone gold.

Are they going to make the steam (steam lol) proloaders wait until the product ships or just load the final code when it goes gold?

I'd like to think they'd let us play it before it hit the selves, but I really doubt it.
If I had a sig, would you read it?

Yup.... Steam pre-loaders will have to wait. Off course they do get CS:S first

With all of the Vampire hype, you just know it's going to suck.

It wouldn't be a "is Half Life 2 coming out soon?" thread without one of these...

So if it is gold maybe it's time to retire this thread. put it out to pasture. give it a gold watch and the ol' heave ho.

The funniest thing about this thread is that yes, Half Life 2 actually did go gold the following Monday.
