News Half-Life 2: Aftermath is delayed

well its good to see that valve isn't following ea's typical release now patch later mumbo jumbo (or at least I hope so).

 

Well, they do, but so does any game-maker. However patches work much better with bugfixes than content, which is what I'd assume they're working on.

I too would rather have a "when it's done" as long as it's quality. I don't wanna shell out for a turd.

 

I knew there was no way it was going to make November, now that they have delayed it I wouldn't be all to surprised if I don't see it until sometime at the end of next year

 

I hear that its a steam only release so theres no waiting for the retail version to be ready. One of my several problems with steam is I have dialup (dialup rocks... and rocks dont move)

 

Damn...Feburary to March. While I know the wait will be worth it, its still rather disapointing after looking forward to it for so long. But thats valve for ya

 

Good to hear Valve are planning more quality software... rather than releasing the crap that is available from others.

 

I trust Valve to make sure the game is finished and in high standards before they let it hit the shelves. I think we should just wait on this one and expect a really good game to top Half Life 2, at the same time I wish I had a time machine .

 

I think that the whole pack is an ambitious add-on and with the issues and delays they had for lost coast (and that was just one level) that it is understandable that its getting bumped. I think we have more of a case of too aggressive a release target than anything else...
