This means we give what we think is a shippable version to VU. Usually you go through a couple of RCs before you reach Gold, which means that you have what you are going to manufacture. After you manufacture it, it goes to stores. In our last conversation with the ESRB, we were looking at a teen rating. - Gabe yay!!

Yar... that I'm a bit surprised at. I just assumed it was rated MA since it was about as violent as most other FPS games at the time.Title: Re: Half-Life 2 Release Candidate Post by: Woodsman on 2004-07-13, 06:43 yeah but back then gibs were so unrealistic you could barely tell what you were looking at anyway.
