I think they were down to three show stoppers after RC4, nothing huge. They're being very careful about getting a stable release out the door and with all the big reviews hitting the net I'm not surprised. It's looking to be something very special. The delays are not Vivendi sitting on a finished game or Valve not playing fair.[/quote]Not to get your hopes up, since there is no official word from either Valve or Vivendi, but still it could be good news.
