Half Life 2 Beta leaked?

Around 60-80 FPS here :p

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.

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

[kak]

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

--WeeJames

I totally agree :yes:

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.

I'm 60% done.but i've already uploaded 2GB (my upload limit) lol, my ISP is gonna kill me >_<

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.

[LiGhTfast]

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

hey timman, and dreamer, i see you guys are able to shoot, and hit people...when i hit the guys there is no blood, or no gun shot holes where the bullets hit... anything i have to do to get them to work?

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.

Anyone know how in the world i can Remove that weird debug thing on the right side of the screen ?? its quite annoying ...

[Spyder Veteran]

lol @ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

nothing quite like ignoring what timdorr has said eh?

:rolleyes:

[Airw0lf]

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:

[Tenebrious_Star]

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.

If you take a peek in the corner, sometimes it says "4 days till Release" or something like that ...

[maeby]

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.
