[BREAKING NEWS]Half Life 2 "released"

DRaG0nBLaD3 from the Rage3D forums acquired the game from a branch of B&M, plus he has the photos to prove it. Several other users on the Steam forums have also claimed to have bought the game, although the discussion there is far less informative, or in English. However, DRaG0nBLaD3 is unable to play the game as it is locked on Valve's servers, although Valve previously promised to unlock the game for everyone should the street date be broken.

Screens posted, rumour has it that Half-Life 2 might get unlocked on steam late tonight or early tomorrow morning but we are still waiting for a confirmation from Gabe.
 
Yea we (bestbuy) got the game in Wednesday. Along with a display nintendo ds with metroid in it. Sadly the people in our store are smart enough to not break the hard release date.

Go kill yourself, Half-Life 2 will own all games and you know it. You would be a fool to choose anything over Half-Life 2.

Just like the version downloaded through Steam, Half-Life 2 has to be unlocked before it can be played. When you install Half-Life 2, you have to connect to the internet to validate your CD key. Once that's done, you can play off-line singleplayer (without an internet connection) or multiplayer HL2.
 
HL1 was one of (arguably THE) greatest single-player game ever made. If that is any measure then HL2 will wreak havoc.
