[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.

    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
