This was posted over at HL2 World Forum by jb55 which tells us a bit about the status of Half-Life 2.

The super-intelligent over at hl2central are saying hl2 is being delayed once again. Please give me a quote of some kind so I can prove them wrong and get the news corrected.

Just give me a simple yes or no, is it delayed again? Thank you for your time.

11 minutes later, I got this back:

Right now we are looking at our bug numbers. Each day you fix some bugs and you find some new bugs. The net number tells you how quickly you will get to zero.

At our current rate of find/fix bugs, we'll be down to zero bugs in 16 days.

This means that HL2 should be at Release Candidate stage in the early days of August.
