perhaps, but you never know what valve is up to these days. they could be tweaking the engine and making general improvements or completely making a different game. if they are going to release hl2 with 1 year old technology, i probably won't consider purchasing hl2 either. if they are just going to release a finished version of the beta that was leaked, they are toast. from what i hear, the doom 3 alpha was a lot better than the hl2 beta and i'm sure they realize this. i, personally, don't think they are all preoccupied with steam over there and they say (not that you should believe them at this point) that cs:cz is finished and is in vivendi's hands. well, that basically leaves hl2. how long does it take to slap on some textures?:huh:
as for id, their game is probably going to be easily modable. i'm sure they have taken notice at how the hl mod community has kept valve afloat long after interest has died in hl itself. natural selection on the doom 3 engine anyone?
