The game is already pre-loaded and I'm anxiously waiting...

All I care to buy from valve is HL3- not epi3 but a whole new game with a new engine. I have hl2 collectors ed and epi 1 and 2 and that is it and all I care about from them. I can not stand hl2 mp stuff. Mods for hl2 was cool tho..
No HL3 no more money from me for anything valve.. I do have other steam games tho- bioshock- ffow- fo3 goty- mafia2 and just cause2. I like steam..

Unfortunately 8-12 hours is becoming the standard.... along with the pay for DLC releases to "extend the enjoyment" of the game :huh:
Anyway this is another game I let pass by. Crysis 2, now Portal 2.
