what the RIAA is doing is plain stupid. It's not stopping anyone from downloading music, it just makes them stop using Kazaa and other spyware programs to do it. That's probably true, you can't... but I haven't downloaded it, I haven't even watched any screenshots because I don't want any...

one thing: Half-Life2 isn't delayed just because the game got leaked/stolen, it's now delayed because they have a lot of work to do, rewriting parts of the code so that it's not possible to write cheats and abuse it. It's not some sort of punishment because someone stole the game. ...and RIAA...

is this not a Half-Life devoted forum? who here ISN'T a fanboy? I fail to see the point of your post :/

Yes, I am a thief. I have downloaded games illegaly... I have none of those games left, since they got boring quite quickly, and some were outright lousy (Tomb Raider: AoD for example). Even thieves have their code of honour, you know... and I wasn't treated badly due to me downloading a...

hehe... HE get's the pat on the back, all I got was flaming because I said I'd wait :P this is a harsh and unfair world... woe me... ON TOPIC: oh... yeah... the screens... it's sad, that's what it is... :/

etancross: well, my real name isn't actually Nathaniel, although I understand your point now :P

for me, the leak and the final game just aren't even comparable! I can't download the leak and "satisfy" myself with that, since it's not even close to being the full, finished, perfect entity that is Half-Life 2 (yeah, I'm a dreamer :D) If wait is what I'll have to do, then wait is what I...

Re: hmmm while I can accept the supposed "humor" in this post, I'm just wondering why I'm the only one getting bashed in here for not downloading the leak, and waiting like a good boy for the final release? Is it so impossible to be honest these days?

That would be a shortterm solution... It might not be the best one though. Right now they need to focus on rewriting the original code so that the game can be released sometime this lifetime. A public demo would be nice, but it would just be a cramped solution to a temporary problem, and might...

well... I still remember the HUUUGE thread just after they officially anounced HL2. those where the times... so no, I don't think this/these pirates will get more glory than Valve, although at the moment, they might have some more attention...

I wonder the same... nice pic, btw :D

May I request that a lock may be thrown upon this useless pile of stinking garbage? this is an obvious attentionwhore thread... nothing more.

if you put all your time, effort and money into building a car, and it get's stolen a few days before you plan on showing the finished thing to your friends, it's still JUST A CAR, right? loser... geth THIS through your thick skull. Half-Life 2 is their work, their livelyhood, it's what pays...

Normally I would say that you were an idiot, but in this case the means really are justified. good job man! I think I'll just get some useless crap myself, and upload it as hl2-leak.rar or something. My upload bandwidth ir worth sacrificing if it means that less people get the leaked HL2 :P

moron... that is NOT funny...

wow... that's a mature response... I'm totally serious, I really don't want anything to do with this stole release. I admit, I may not always buy my games from the store, but I do believe in rewarding people when they make something truly great. Buying the games that really affect you, and...

I'm going to completely ignore anyone trying to get me to play the pre-release. I do not want to encourage anyone further, and I really don't want to ruin the game for myself. I suggest you all follow my example, for no good what so ever can come out of us spreading the pre-release further and...

damnit! these forums are fast!

if they got a hold of the HL2 source code (supposing it IS real), why didn't they get the graphics, maps and models too?

that's a frikkin SDK, not the entire sourcecode....
