    Half-Life 2 Approaching After checking directly with Gabe Newell at Valve Software to confirm this quote we've got a couple of pieces of news from Valve for you guys. Here's the quote from Gabe himself:

    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.

    In addition to that, word has come out that August 10th has been set as the tentative CS:Source beta program to begin. Keep in mind these timelines are not set in stone though. Thanks to HL2World for the tip.

    In addition, some folks from a mod called Promised Land visited Valve and found out the following:

    - VAC 2 will be released with HL2. It will be created for general use among mods and HL2.

    - Collecters Edition will be available over steam as a "Special Version"

    - There are some new bink videos they showed us. They were trailers with collections of all footage from the E3's, etc, and a new promotional trailer. They all looked awesome. These will be released prior to HL2 and will be in publications at first, then will be available for download.

    - The SDK will be released the same time the game is released.

    Greg Coomer, product designer at Valve, has just confirmed on our forums that all ATi voucher holders will also be included in the upcoming Counter-Strike: Source BETA. This will be good news for those of you that don't want to buy Counter-Strike: Condiotion Zero.

    yay!

    Of course! Basic marketing strategies~ But they won't just be able to talk bs this time. They need to keep their share of the potential target market.
