[YaZoR]

can i just say a big fat;

SO WHAT

*ahem* sorry. so what it's been leaked/stolen. you have to face the music and accept its happened, its irreversable. And of course people are going to be downloading this, valve hyped it up so much (or if they didnt someone did!).

I just wonder what ill be doing in 2 years looking at gamespy with another new "Top 10 Game Launch Hypes" with Half-Life 2 at #1 with: "Remember when valve leaked there own game out to get even more attention, and then when they released it 6 months late, nobody bought it." Or something similar when we find out whar REALLY happened.

:yes:

LOL I just want to know something.... If someone stole this from Valve presumably from then internet (and not an internal leak as they say) How could the network admin not notice almost 2Gigs of outgoing traffic ? I mean daaammmnnn ! lol wonder how long they had to be connected to download that.... And as for not being able to find it. It took me all of 4 seconds to find it LOL Anyway I wouldnt worry about it spoiling the sales Valve is probably pushing back the release date to change some of the content that way it will pay to buy it :) Looks awsome just wish I had a better video card hmmm maybe Santa will bring me something nice... :)

Edit:If you look a little longer you can find ISO's of 2 disk images(I would guess some one already extracted them to the images) About 400 people have that file on Edonkey.....

ack i got some movie of the leak, but cant find the darn codec :|!

hm, maybe cause the guys at valve have high bandwidth usage every day for i don't know, or maybe it happened when nobody was there to check it (during night maybe) i don't know

they didnt steal the leaked beta but they stole the cource which is only about 35mb so thats why they wouldnt had known plus i aint gonna beta try this, i'm gonna buy it and keep it a surprise :)

[blachole]

I cant find this **** anywhere!

Read the nfo, they stole the demo as well. They figured that seeing as the source was leaked, they might as well have leaked the demo.

I want this, But i cant find it anywhere ... :cry: you guys are so mean !

They wouldn't be able to do what the images imply without the resources that go along with the source. So yes more than just the source was taken.

Please don't post specifics, such as filenames or filesizes. This only serves to help people with downloading, which is not the point of this thread or this site.

Someone wouldn't go through all that trouble to only get the source code. I'm sure they probably would have gotten the rest of the files too.

Everyone ... cut all the BS about a leak not necessarily stolen. Its WAS stolen. My heart goes out the programmers invovled. Imagine working 5 years of your life and then having it all stolen and not made any money from it.

I'm sure if someone stole your $2000+ computer or car which you'd spent months earning you'd be complaining to everyone. This is the same thing. Its STEALING. I hope the idiot(s) who stole the source 1) get the FBI after them; 2) get to spend a long time in jail and being someone else's b*****. They deserve it.

And if you actually have the source and the leaked demo why brag about having it? Its no better than being the stolen goods dealer trying to sell your stolen computer.

Just my 2 cents.

I don't like what theyre going to introduce with STEAM , but I dont like neither what those idiot monkeys are going to make with the HL2code , I can see now exploits , multiplayer cheats , etc . . . shame , shame .... true . . .

(Personally after all the work done with that (HL2) , I would go ballistic and , and rewrite the whole thing even if that means delaying the game launch 3 years more or a simultaneously release with Duke Nukem Forever)
