    It was confirmed that his account was somehow hacked which means he didn't say it was true

    EDIT:

    Actually, why would he post on a non-official half life 2 site ONLY and say 4 words and not say a word to his own company about it?

    It's pretty damn obvious that it is a fake.

    there was almost a smile on my face today in my 7hour stint at my favourite supermarket (tesco woop) safe in the knowledge that id be able to play some hl2 sometime in my own lifetime (rather than my great grandsons)... ah well, back to reality eh?

    Let me guess, they have to delay it for another year, because they didn't make backups again and the hackers stole it all.

    If they delayed it now they'd lose out on the competition. It will be released this year.
