Half-Life 2 coming holiday 2003

As we speculated in our original preview a few months back, Vivendi Universal today confirmed for us that Half-Life 2 will not be shipping on September 30th of this year, as originally announced. Instead, the release for Valve Software's highly anticipated sequel has been pushed back, and is now scheduled to be completed and be released in time for the 2003 holiday season. No reason was given by Vivendi for the delay.
Half-Life 2 has been the subject of much excitement since the game was first unveiled just prior to this year's E3. The game once again casts you as scientist Gordon Freeman, battling both aliens and military soldiers an unspecified amount of time after the events of Half-Life. This November marks the 5th anniversary of the original game's release, which went on to sweep most of the industry's "Game of the Year" awards for 1998.
