Half Life 2 Beta leaked?


Recommended Posts

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.

Yeah. What a lame reason to not buy the game.

--WeeJames

the game was compiled on the 16th and directx works fine, how else would they have shown it at e3? by the looks of it the game definitely wasnt ready for sept 30th release. i hope its still in line with a holiday release however. but this beta is no big deal besides just playing around with the weapons and seeing the graphics, you really cant play the game yet. im afraid to load any maps besides the e3 demos becausei dont want to know the story yet

i dont understand peoples...

when we grab betas of all games its ok , halo,ut.... but we grab the beta of the game we are all waiting for for ages...and its baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad as hell...

timdorr, whats wrong about giving tips etc in playing it...dont remember about the halo beta thread ??? personnaly, posting nfos, screenshots and giving tips IN GAME ones only of course is the same...anyway no flamming nothing just saying this

enjoy peeps

Has anyone explained why this would affect the release date? If I know game companies, they want to release as soon as possible so they can start collecting their money. I don't think they really care about cheating, and even if they do, they can just release the game and patch it later.

They'll release it on time, you watch.

Jasco, I'm surprised the neowin mods are being this generous. Aside from hosting screenshots (which have been illegally obtained), but imagine the amount of PMs going around neowin with download links to the beta. Is this any better than a P2P network? You don't have to physically host the game to support the sharing of it. IRC Networks and Channels go down for the same reason. Warez anyone?

Well. Then they should draw the line so everyone can see it. Screenshots and nfos are okay, but give tips is not? Just wondering.

Indeed dude.

for some reason my fps are now about 20-30fps constantly now, i love the game... just done the training map

still can't believe these physics... they are so real.

Half life 2 is amazing!!

Hehe, yeah. First 15 minutes just sitting there with my jaw dropped playing around in the second e3 test map :o :o :o

Screens are ok, because they don't help people play it, they just show them what the game is like (aka. free publicity). Instructing someone how to play the game, though, is quite a different beast. No one should have this in the first place, so we're not going to support people trying to play it.

If you want to comment on the quality of the game or post screens, that is fine. Otherwise, think again.

I dont quite get this.

The Halo beta thread had information about helping people play it / improve performance etc.

Maybe im missing something here :pinch:

I got to page 9 and I just stopped. I think that maybe this is just getting a lil out of hand dont you guys think????? :unsure: I mean, i would love to have a beta copy (or wutever you want to call it) than the next guy. But with valve looking for the peep or peeps who took it, and with them searching the net for sources, Id be careful on what you say in here if u have it or not... :whistle:

Yeah i found out more about the state of this "beta" last night. the many problems are not like problems and glitches that werent solved at this point and this is not an accurate picture of where they were at when the directory was stolen. It appears as if they were in the process of updating versions and changing many things around when this was copied, half the files that won't load eg. models, textures, sounds, are because of the files themself being of the wrong version, like only half is updated, there are some files in the wrong directories and also there are some mistakes in the code, and other parts of the code are commented out when they shouldn't be. it will take me a while to fix this up to a more usable state, but who knows, there are many people on this forum more knowledgeable then me, maybe a fixed version will be released in the next few weeks.

can you tell us some of the quick fixes you made? id like to try and get this blood/bullet holes problem fixed

and about watching what we say, its not a problem. this isnt a full game leak, no game play is playable, no MP is playable..its more a less like a tech demo showing the graphics etc.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
