Day of Defeat: Source - Gentlemen, Start your downloads!

Post by InnocentBystander »

Assuming you aren't starting the upload now, you should have about 80% downloaded already (this might take a minute or two to register). I'm not sure if you will be asked to pay for it before downloading, but if it's anything like HL2, you should be able to download it now even if you don't have a card handy. For those who got bronze, it will cost 20 bucks, but I'm sure it'll be worth it :)

It's nice of valve to only take most of a year to give people all of what they paid for.

Hate to tell you, but you're only preloading the game. You won't be able to play it until the 26th.
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

Ya, does that mean I don't want it on my computer this very second?

The whole reason they release it this early is so folks like you will have enough time to complete the download.

At least it won't be a rehash of the old game, those twenty dollars went towards something.

No, no, I mean "I won't be able to download it," not "I'll be able to download it at a ridiculously slow speed."

I won't be able to play it either way. I'm really starting to hate my school.
