Half Life 2 Beta leaked?

[Chiss1]

What specs are you running? Just wanna get an idea on what this game is making us run..

[GameZMaster]

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.

Yeah, sorry I meant to say this is what it looks like to be the E3 demo. Sorry I got people confused.

Well..thist is hard, i dont know if i wanna try this anymore, if its a very unpolished version it could spoil the game...but...well...I hope Max Payne 2 comes out before i finnish download this..that would keep me busy for a few weeks..:)

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

[AcdShdw]

[tacheon]

"god" turns on god mode and "impulse 101" gives all weapons. just like half-life ;)

[Tim Dorr Veteran]

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.

timdoor i was mocking the ppl who keep bashing steam i dont have a problem with it tho i kinda like it

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 ****. :)

[Tenebrious_Star]

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.

[bkellner]

BTW I thought it looked a like the E3 demo also, but you can't be totally sure of that until valve says so.. So I'm just going to go with what the release group leaked it as: Beta.

[snocked]

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.

--WeeJames

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

LOL Snocked worried about security risks ??? hmmm you might be on to something there LOL

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
