[DEFINITIVE] Half-Life 2 Thread


Recommended Posts

Found from countless threads being spammed on the steampowered.com forums:

A link to this particular thread I found it in: http://www.steampowered.com/forums/showthr...threadid=172895

This guys asking for it to be unlocked through steam now since the street date has apparently been broken, but I doubt they will with just a few days left till its release.

Ironically I don't think he can even play it still since it needs to be activated through steam I'm pretty sure, and that activation wont be allowed till the actual release date. Still, what I wouldn't give for a copy of Half-Life 2 in my hands right now :( ...

We'll know if this is true if it gets leaked onto the internet. I'm sure if it's true it'll be out very, very shortly as Steam is hysterically easy to crack. Or so I heard.

Well if it does get out early through leaks then it wont be the first time anyway at least, plus its only a few short (long?) days till the real release.

:woot: ive been waiting years for this... :cry:

I remember the time of the leak, i wrote an article that got deleted on accident by a crappy host I had at the time. I recently found it on archive.org. Check out what it was like if your in the mood for a peak.

Isn't HL2 meant to be 6 cd's, not 5?

Yeah, I just noticed that too. Well, theres still a chance that its a fake anyway. Looking at the picture again I realize that every component of that could have been faked.

is there not a DVD version because why have 6 Cd's when you could have 1 DVD?????

Almost everyone has a DVD-Rom/DVD-RW would it save them money because they only need 1 Disc or give the option for a DVD Version or the 6 Cd version????

The collectors edition is on a DVD.

All that thread possibly proves on the steam forums, and this picture for that matter, is that this guy, and possibly some other guy (they say there is another thread at rage3d although you cannot get to it atm), have the game in their possession.

They are probably both workers from EBgames or something, who thought they would get themselves some attention and/or stir up some controversy by posting pics. I hardy consider this the street date being broken.

Just my opinion. nothing less. nothing more.

    • Feels like Hitman in Bond skin. But overall a great game! 👍
    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
