Half Life 2 Receives Classificatiion In Australia

In a follow up to the recent news item on Sumea about the possible banning of Half LIfe 2, I've been given the good news that Half-Life 2 has received an OFLC classification today of MA15+ (High Level Animated Violence).

    Well it is great that HL2 got classified and we will see it in stores, this I never doubted, but this does not mean that we should be happy with our game classification system, or that we should not do anything about it.

    BTW: Did it receive a classification because content was "changed" or as I prefer: censored? I remember some talk of this being a possibility, like with GTA Vice City.

    I can confirm that no content was altered or 'censored' from the original. The game is the same all around the world.

    BTW -- street date is 9am on the 17th Nov in Australia due to the time difference with the US.
