| Quote from http://www.planethalflife.com/ : |
| "There were a ton of rumors the past couple days about the |
| existence of a leaked, playable Half-Life 2 beta, but |
| thankfully those stories have been confirmed to be completely |
| false." |
| |
| Well, I hope nobody believed this rumor. Who would actually be |
| good enough to get the source, but forget the game ? |
| |
| To myg0t: this is too big for you to take credit |

| Gordon Freeman is back! Along with scientist Eli Vance and his |
| daughter Alyx, your mission is to save the world from total |
| alien domination. See, that little incident in Black Mesa was |
| just the beginning: now those pesky Xen invaders and a new |
| threat called the Combine have spread across the whole Earth, |
| causing massive amounts of death and destruction. It’s up to |
| you to set things right. |
| |
| + Scientist-with-a-crowbar Gordon Freeman joins a ragtag |
| human resistance fighting extradimensional invaders for the |
| survival of a conquered Earth |
| + Unnervingly realistic graphics the likes of which have not |
| been witnessed outside of a motion picture or pre-rendered |
| cut scene |
| + Realistic physics: objects have varied and appropriate |
| mass, density, physical properties |
| + Ingenious artificial intelligence: enemies will adapt, |
| plan, improvise, and respond |
| + Hordes of new aliens and other enemies, plethora of guns |
| and other weapons |
| |
| Minimum system requirements: |
| + Windows98/2000/Me/XP |
| + 700 MHz CPU |
| + 128 MB RAM |
| + DX6 compatible video card |
| + ~3 GB free hdd space |
| |
| Recommended system requirements: |
| + Windows98/2000/Me/XP |
| + 2 GHz CPU |

| Have fun playing, but buy the game, cause this wasnt intended |
| to be leaked! After the source leak, there was no reason for |
| keeping the beta private. |

| Well, I forgot to update you with the freshest stuff from |
| Valvesoftware. |
| |
| Detonator-52.13-ANON got leaked today, its the new NVidia |
| drivers for HL2, though i have no fancy video card to test the |
| driver on. |
| |
| Btw., for those of you still thinking -ANON is a group, i have |
| to say it isnt. Its just Anonymous. |
| |
| To all those saying HL2 was delayed because of the hacking |
| action, ill just remind you that what was leaked is what Valve |
| has, nothing more and nothing less, so its pretty good to |
| understand it wasnt finished yet. |
| |
| Also I'd like to point out the E3 was one big fake by Valve. |
| Ever tried to kill that soldier in physicstown ? Notice the |
| door will still get kicked ? No scripted sequences ? |
| |
| To everyone saying this is no Beta: I'd like to point out that |
| THIS is what you wanted Valve to release on 9/30/03, theres no |
| such thing as a much better release in Valves network! |
| |
| To Valve: I suggest you stop lying to your customers about how |
| much was stolen/compromised, or I'll have to release everything |
| just to prove my point. And you know what you got, as I do. |

Just had an email from Gameplay.com telling me that the release date for Half Life 2 has been changed to Sep 24 2004

Thats 248 days until release!!!

I guess they must be completly re-making that game! Shame nVidia got so upset about their performance, that they forced a re-work of the GFX Engine to make nVidia GPU's perform better.
