Gabe Newell once again visited the hl2fallout forums and announced that the much anticipated Half Life 2 will start pre-loading into Steam on the 19th of August (yesterday). This comes as owners of Counter Strike: Condition Zero and ATI hl2 coupons are beta testing the source engine under Counter Strike.

Anticipation mounts for the release.....let us hope that anticipation after all, is not everything...

Valve's Erik Johnson has posted on the shacknews.com gaming forums that pre-loading of Half Life 2 to Steam will be pushed back to Monday:
We're going to push the start of the preload back until this coming Monday. The main reason was to get out the release (that just happened) to the CS: Source Beta.
