well the delay is usually due to the fact console games need to be 'translated' from NTSC to PAL form.

i know PC doesnt req this, and there are a shitload of games released in Europe that are released only there or far before the US release ex: almost every Rally game - bastards|

you obviously don't know shit.

they also said it was going to be released in september 03. with no chance of delays.

and, if you were paying attention to half-life 1 before it came out, it was delayed for more than a year.

and where is TF2? it was supposed to come out 'shortly' after HL1.

valve doesn't do much when it comes to hitting deadlines.

Your so full of shit, haha my grandma knows more then you do.
HL2 was never due in 03, it was all bullshit, and idiots like you fell for it.
HL2 was always due in 2004, and is still on track according to Gabe.

You think I give a fuck about this game anymore ? I played the beta demo and Im set, I dont even care for this overhyped game anymore.
What Im looking forward to is Far Cry and few other titles that are around the corner.
And for the record Im still saying its going to be out April.

What? We "fell for it"? It was always scheduled for a September 30, 2003 release date, until about 2 weeks before that when Valve decided to delay until November 2003. Then some dude stole the source code, which forced Valve to delay the game until April 2004 (maybe even later). The game was never always scheduled for a 2004 release, 2003 was its original date, until a series of unfortunate events occurred that forced Valve into delaying it.

Valve's director of marketing Doug Lombardi has spoken out about a likely release date for the hugely anticipated PC FPS (first person shooter) Half-Life 2. While refusing to commit to a specific date, Lombardi told finance site CNN Money that the developer is currently aiming towards 'this summer for the completion of Half-Life 2'.
When the media coverage surrounding Half-Life 2 stepped into gear early last Summer, it seemed that Valve had judged the market perfectly.

Press and punters alike eagerly consumed screenshots and movies from the title at last year's E3, while a release date of September 30 2003 seemed to good to be true. And, inevitably, it was; the supposed date came and went with no sign of the title, and then in October Valve announced that hackers had infiltrated the developer's network and stolen source code from the title.

Publisher Vivendi hastily announced the title had been put back until April 2004, but Lombardi's comments today have obviously put the kibosh on an Easter release.

With Valve's estimated 'completion' of the title scheduled for later this summer, it seems likely that an early autumn release date is most likely. Say, round about September 30...? In any case, with another delay for the PC version, it seems unlikely we'll be seeing a console version of the game before 2005.

at least it isn't like "duke nukem forever" which isn't set to come out for like 20 years (literally).. it's more of a joke in the gaming magazines than anything..
