Apparently HL2:Ep2 along with Portal and TF2 are being delayed until a ' target' of Summer ' 07 now.

I was kinda looking forward to this being released first at the end of this year and then after the new year.

Some people are criticising Valve for promising regular episodic content, and then leaving us out to dry. But I guess HL2 took like 3 years, so 1.5 years for an episode is still acceptable imo, heh.

I think Valve have done a great job of optimising their engine using the data they get about end-users' systems over steam. So i just hope they can implement all that multi-threading stuff they were banging on about last week, to make good use of people' s dual/quad core chips. http://forums.kikizo.com/tm.asp?m=80847&p=2&tmode=1&smode=1

I' m guessing they wont go dx10 until Source 2.0 however.
