Post Emailing Valve and demand CS:CZ/HL2, WHOS WITH ME!

This forum may seem pointless since it seams not many people on this forum are to interested in HL games, but I'm sick of Valve and thier wierd (sensless) marketing strategy.

I say everyone in this forum calls or emails Valve and demand Counter-Strike: Condition Zero and Half-Life 2, WHO'S WITH ME!?

LONG LIVE COUNTER-STRIKE!

it'd be very easy for them to say no to our demands, man.
if we e-mail anyone, we should e-mail 3drealms and get our new duke nukem.

I'm sure they're too busy rendering fake screenshots of a game that doesn't exist to answer the phone or emails.

Anyways....this game will never come out.....I have my free coupon and now I just wait. The games have dates now if you check out ebgames, but it's all going to change...I think it will come eventually but its something we just have to wait. Especially if they are rewriting the source code from when it got stolen, which if it did I am glad they are doing because it will temporarily stop hacking and cheating. But we just have to wait...so count me out....

You would probably get a stronger response at a forum dedicated to each of these games.

Yeah, kind of like how Half-Life 2 was going to be released in January 2003 and Duke Nukem forever was going to be released September 2002.

Okay, okay. After we're done emailing Valve about Half-Life 2, we can bombard 3d Realms (or whoever is making DNF, I don't even know any more) and demand Duke Nukem Forever to be released sometime this decade

Let's assume they actually pay attention to the e-mails and decide to release the games in their current state. Is that what you really want, more buggy code to drive you nuts?. I'm sure they'll be released when they are ready for distribution.

Yes, Condition Zero is complete and so is HL2. Valve's marketing department are just idiots.

There has been a release party for CZ, according to Planet Half-Life Game they are going to recieve a copy shortly. HL2 is based on rumours over the source code being stolen and the game losing it's November release date (sorry I get carried away sometimes).

I like your comic ghost. Just think, if the code did get stolen, it's going to force them to rework it into a better product.

not really, just think, you were working on a code for like 2 years and now you have to compleatly rework it, you probly wouldnt put as much effort in it.
