Ok first of all people. This is not a beta! This is the E3 Demo that was leaked! Its not even Alpha! Do not judge this as what to expect from the game since this is very old!

Also this is not the source code that was stolen and leaked...thats a whole another story!

I feel sorry for anyone who thinks they can judge a game by looking at compressed Jpegs of a Pre-alpha demo!

Also respect the fact this was never meant to be released so what you are looking at is optimized for one system spec and one system spec only (the demo machine) so what is happening is that they probably dont have the correct driver set and video card to run this since they probably didnt add any other support. So my bet is that you are seeing unaccelatored shots.

Mind you whoever is judging this game by what they see now will change their tune when the game comes out anyway so im not really worried about the fair weather fans.

BTW this is my first post so Hello.

I would like to say to those who thinks that this beta doesnt look good, that, is because their PC suck.

I seen proof that the beta is pretty amasing here: http://www.thecallofduty.co.uk/site/forum_...pic.php?33.1339

Now prepare to sh*t your pants! :D

omg its looks like steam lets make a big fuss about it, gawd...

It's the new vgui interface, which itself has little to do with Steam, it's just a nicer interface method. Steam uses it as well, which is why it looks like it. But it's not steam, it's vgui.

For the people who still say this was compiled from the leaked sourcecode: No, it was not. The source code was missing a lot of things needed to have a working game compiled from it.. This is most likely compiled for in-house beta testing newly implemented features, or for video card venders. I doubt this release was for video card vendors though.

For the people complaining about the leaked beta ruining the game for them: Get a life, no it's not. The game will be just as good. Don't download it then, or don't look at the screenshots. Either way, if you just came to this thread to complain - Leave.

For valve: Nice game so far, looking forward to the release. Not losing me from your buying customer list. In fact, these screenshots (being months away from finalized), look great. I can't wait to buy retail. It's sad that you guys had two major things leaked, but I'd be more worried if people didn't care enough about the game to try to leak the ****. :)

Yeah so like...wheres the usual "Hey this is how you do this, or enable that" talk that usually follows these leak threads?

I mean i have like a bunch of gigs of files, theres stuff "missing" that was available to valve back in the E3 days, and judging from gabes post a week ago on the official forum, this is from the dude who stole the entire hl2 directory in september. So like is there a tree problem or what? has anyone been able to fix it in its extracted state so that its more usable? i mean theres too much here to have people open maps manually in console, the new game commands should work.

Whats with all the whining? So the beta is leaked.. If you dont like it then tough. Its not going to affect sales. Its not going to affect release date (although it will undoubtedly be blamed for one) The people who will buy it will still buy it, the people who weren't going to buy it still won't.

False. I've decided to not purchase it after this incident.

If that's true, you should be ashamed of yourself.

so then I guess, either not many of you guys have it yet, or just not really tweaked around with everything.

I just think it wierd that with the engine compiled at the end of august, its "missing" textures and sounds that were totally there in the E3 demo. Maybe some light will be shed on this in the next few days

      I have updated my Series 9 Watch so I assume there is either a mistake in what was said, or as suggested - the new AI feature set isn’t supported on anything other than those listed above.
    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users by David Uzondu WhatsApp has come out accusing Israeli cyber-intelligence firm, NSO Group, of deploying a fresh wave of highly targeted "spear phishing" attacks against users, which its security teams successfully thwarted. The Israeli firm, according to WhatsApp, ran this operation like its usual one-click phishing campaigns, trying to get people to click malicious links that lead them to external sites. To coordinate the campaign, the spyware vendor created fake test accounts and groups on the messaging app. WhatsApp said it is sharing the specific malicious domains, ikhwancast[.]com, ghazacast[.]com, and fr24cast[.]com, because potential victims need this data to check if they were targeted across other messaging systems or email platforms. The NSO Group is infamous for creating and selling Pegasus, a military-grade commercial spyware capable of silently compromising smartphones simply by sending a message or placing a missed call via apps like WhatsApp or iMessage. Users do not even have to interact with the incoming notification before the infection takes hold. Once Pegasus manages to break in, the spyware harvests private data, letting operators read private messages, emails, photos, and documents. It also tracks precise GPS locations, records keystrokes, activates the device's camera, and monitors live microphone audio. Independent investigations by cybersecurity watchdogs like The Citizen Lab and human rights organizations like Amnesty International have proven that governments use this software to track humanitarian workers, journalists, diplomats, and political dissidents. These findings directly contradict NSO Group claims that clients use the technology to spy on criminals and terrorists only. In late 2021, the U.S. Department of Commerce added the firm to its Entity List, effectively banning the vendor from buying hardware and software from American tech companies. WhatsApp said in its blog post that the spyware vendor violated a permanent court injunction with this new spear-phishing campaign. This injunction, which took effect in 2025, strictly prohibited NSO Group from targeting WhatsApp and its users. The platform is now asking a federal court to hold the firm in contempt.

      It would be surprising if even 3 year old Apple Watches (and not SE models at that) cannot run watchOS 27. Granted, it doesn't mean it would work as well. We'll see.
