I just fired up Steam on another daily check to see if HL2 might have something interesting up with it, and happened to catch that it's pre-loading again for HL2 like a mofo!

I had over a Gig already, the full pre-load I had thought as I've been doing this a couple of times a day....but now I'm sucking down a solid Mb/s and it's saying it's only 52% done?



Developing, but you folks pre-loaded might just want to re-pre-load up again before this news spreads and all the servers are filled up.

The complete story over at Elite Bastards as it develops.

#56455 Posted on: 09/03/2004 07:04 PM Yea, for its time Half Life was a great game. My only concern is that the character movement will be the same in Half Life 2. I really didn't like ice-skating everywhere and I don't think I could put up with it for another 20 hours or so.
