The Havok physics are all in place (almost everything works perfectly), most of the graphics are really impressive. However, I have one really big drawback. I have a GeForce 4 MX420, so I don't have pixel or vertex shaders. So I get either no water, or this really silly metallic looking stuff.

Even in alpha form this "game" runs at full speed on my 2.3 GHZ P4 with that MX420. All in all, very enjoyable. Although I don't condone what was done, I'm still going to take advantage of it.

I'll still buy the full game. This really is crap in comparison.

I haven't yet converted HL1 onto the HL2 engine. Apparently the improvements are lighting, shadowing, water, and havok physics. So pretty cool. If I get that up and running I'll tell you.

Did anybody else get this?

I wouldnt know where to look...I wouldnt mind giving it a try, just to see how well it perfrorms on my P4 2.66 with Radeon 9500pro. Im kinda surprised it ran that fast on your crappy graphics card. Where did you get the file from?

Download this bittorrent client (or any, but this is my fav): http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/a...p.exe?download

Then d/l torrent search (www.torrentsearch.us).

Search for "Half Life" and you should see the Half Life 2 Beta seeded by bittorrent movies. Double click on it and the torrent file should begin transfering (like 29kb or so). When it says it's finished d/l'ing the file, click open file. It should run the torrent through Azureus automatically.

After that it's just a matter of waiting.

Edit: By the way, once you've got the RAR file, it's got a password on it. The password is "www.bittorrentmovies.de".

Is that legal?

I'll probably get it somehow. I loved HL, although it got boring in the end...

Yes, it's completely legal to own. It's just the way that the hacker got a hold of it that was illegal. He's the only one who can be prosecuted.
