Half-Life 2: Episode 2 delayed

Last month Valve made a lot of people happy by opening up a can of Half Life on them at an EA conference with the announcement of Team Fortress and the availability of Hl2 on both the 360 and the PS3.

And now in one swift announcement, all that’s been taken away. Here’s what Valve director of marketing Doug Lombardi, had to say, “It’s just sort of classic Valve being overly aggressive on our dates, but we’re aiming for Q1 [2007> right now, and we’re really far along in the play test stage.”

He further goes on to state that both Xbox 360 and PS3 versions are being developed in-house (Hallelujah!) and the reason Episode 2 was delayed was because they had so much on their plate now. It seems that the PS3 version of Episode 2 is being co-developed at an unnamed internal EA studio (now this is in no way related to the article, but it’s HL news nevertheless).

I so hope this is their first and last delay.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now. see more
