Half-Life 2 Preloading, Phase 6  by Craig D at 00:32

PC
Amid growing rumours that Half-LIfe 2 is about to reach gold status, Half-Life 2 preloading phase 6 has begun.

Steampowered - The sixth phase of the Half-Life 2 preload begins to Steam account holders today. This will allow users to download the Half-Life 2 maps in encrypted form. No purchase is required to pre-load Half-Life 2, but is required to activate the game. The moment the game is made available, those who have pre-loaded and purchased the game via Steam will be ready to start playing.

Can't be too long now if all the maps are now complete and preloading.

Well its been said to be november for the last few months so as long as the vivendi issue is sorted then it would look very likely. Though I think the last dates i saw were late rather than early november.

I think the whole Vivendi thing was probably just fan-boi vs. anti fan-boi bullshit. Someone panicked when they read about the lawsuits and looked up the maximum length of time VU can hold onto the RC. Then the community ran with the story. So with hype at max. point now, it's in VU's interests to publish soon! Yay!
