Keldyn Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 By the time HL-2 does come out I won't give a damn. I'm sick of hearing about it already. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomwarren Veteran Posted October 7, 2003 Veteran Share Posted October 7, 2003 Downloading it says it's released by "ANON" looks like it could have been compiled somehow from the leaked code :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icarus ^i^ Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 I have 6 hours left of the download... just wanna check if the damn thing is real or not :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killuminati Posted October 7, 2003 Author Share Posted October 7, 2003 Btw according 2 the CNN website half life 2 is delayed to april 2004 now :s btw I'm downloading the "beta" now, and I already have the nfo. So my question is, creamhackerd, can I post the .nfo here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomwarren Veteran Posted October 7, 2003 Veteran Share Posted October 7, 2003 Well aslong as it doesn't contain any instructions on how to obtain the code itself or any hints then sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.KICK Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 I wouldn't want to download that, it looks rubbish plus its a beta or a compiled code which is most likely :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icarus ^i^ Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 Anyone else with screenshots? Those 5 that are circulating are all from the same source.. there should be more ppl with finished downloads by now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougkinzinger Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 Downloading it says it's released by "ANON" looks like it could have been compiled somehow from the leaked code :s Right, that's what I think too. And, like K said, I'm just patiently awaiting the real, Valve-based experience that is Half-Life 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eversor Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 I dont't think it has been compiled of the sourcecode. That would be a lot of work to add the models/textures/.... Its fake or a real beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killuminati Posted October 7, 2003 Author Share Posted October 7, 2003 wow, it worked, buttttt no textures n stuff, so after like 1 second, it flips out the game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
