According to a recent message from Valve's own Gabe Newell, Half-Life 2 could be going
gold in a matter of weeks. Newell left a post on HL2 World's Forums that read:
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.
With the recent news that the hackers who jacked the source code are finally under wraps (check our archives) maybe Valve has really gotten down to business. My guess, we won't be playing Half-Life 2 until 2005. But you can head over to the forum if you're still hopeful.
