Half-Life 2 Source Code Leaked, Seriously

[thatmariolover]

I've confirmed that the HL2 beta leak is real.

Click here to see HL1 running on HL2's engine.

Click Here to see homebrew HL2 pics.

CNN's news article about it.

And I'm d/l'ing it.

It's fascinating for me to see how the game was put together (of course I'll still buy it when the time comes). At any rate, this is what the hacker said before he leaked the full version:

"To all those saying HL2 was delayed because of the hacking action, ill just remind you that what was leaked is what Valve has, nothing more and nothing less, so its pretty good to understand it wasnt finished yet. Also I'd like to point out the E3 [demo] was one big fake by Valve. Ever tried to kill that soldier in physicstown ? Notice the door will still get kicked ? No scripted sequences ?

To everyone saying this is no Beta: I'd like to point out that THIS is what you wanted Valve to release on 9/30/03, theres no such thing as a much better release in Valves network! "

To Valve: I suggest you stop lying to your customers about how much was stolen/compromised, or I'll have to release everything just to prove my point. And you know what you got, as I do."

This was stated by the hacker in an IRC channel after valve software claimed that only 1/3 of the game was stolen (a complete lie as we can see now). Valve never intended to give the game to us on 9/30. They've been meaning to push it back as far as April 2004 claiming that the game was almost done. It makes me wonder what the point of lying was. I mean, I don't care about the reason. I just want to know when the game's going to be out.

...i don't see any proof that says that the code was in fact stolen, lets see, the first site, half the pix don't work(the ones that would really showanything different), the second one is just a batch of screen shots, just because you haven't seen them before doesn't meant they were taken as screenshots, as for the third one, just as nothing stopped them from telling the gaming community that it was leaked, nothings stopping them from telling the same thing to CNN, i want to see whether the source code u'r getting is real, and whether it could be compiled, because a game like that is more than just source code, its a vast array of image files, sound, and much more.

Right, Gimpy, the source code was the first thing that was released. It wasn't just the source that was stolen. The entire HL2 tree was copied. You don't have to believe it was stolen. I'm just telling you what was reported. I've been trying to d/l the compiled version of the game, but the IRC servers are so busy with it. I've been trying to find a torrent file, but to no avail.
