Ok guys was browsing tha intranet today and stumbled upon some interesting stuff.
| Quote: | Bundle fundeal
IF YOU need a a high end card and really want to get Half Life 2 you might want to consider what's happening soon.
ATI and its partners have won an exclusive deal to ship the game with every Radeon 9800XT high end R360 card, scheduled to be introduced later this month.
For enthusiasts this is enticing, because for the same price they will get faster hardware and the game, if they want the game, for the same price |
| Quote: | HL2.Net: How significant a role will vehicles play in HL2 single player? What else can we expect to pilot apart from the buggy we've already seen?
Gabe Newell: Yes, there are other vehicles, but we're trying to keep a bunch of details quiet so players get to have the fun of learning about them through playing rather than through the press.
HL2: The Steam delivery method is sure to be very popular for the nearing HL2 release. Are you confident that the server infrastructure in place will be able to handle the massive amounts of bandwidth required by the thousands downloading HL2 via steam?
Gabe Newell: This issue scares the pants off of us. Every time we think we understand the aggregate demand that can be created by the community, we find that we have underestimated it catastrophically. |

If Valve is serious about distributing entire games through Steam they better beef up their infrastructure some. Hopefully they learned a lot from the Steam release. Trying to dl HL2 through Steam is going to be just as bad if not worse than trying to dl Steam itself at the beginning.
