Valve Software’s Half-Life 2 has been submitted to the BBFC for certification,news which adds credence to recent rumours that Vivendi is shortly to announce that the hotly anticipated first-person shooter sequel has finally ‘gone gold’.
Speaking under strict conditions of anonymity, an industry insider squealed earlier that “as far as Vivendi is concerned, the game [Half-Life 2] is finished” before saying that the title had been passed to PEGI (Pan European Games Information age rating system) for classification, which in turn passed the sequel to the BBFC for certification.
The industry insider added that a November release is now looking “extremely likely”.

A BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) spokesperson has confirmed with us within the last few minutes that the government body is indeed in possession of Half-Life 2. However, they could only add at this stage that the first-person shooter is “under evaluation”, as far as certification is concerned.
