Is this the most elaborate hoax the community has ever seen, or frightening reality? We have over 2300 users browsing our forum as I write this, and over 400 users in our IRC channel (irc.quakenet.org #halflife2) reading about and discussing this very question. Both these numbers are climbing rapidly as interest and speculation builds just as quickly.
If you aren't one of these individuals and would like to know what all this fuss is about, please direct your attention to this thread. Inside you'll find what is at the time of writing, over 600 heated posts regarding the legitimacy of a leaked "Half-Life 2 source code", a thread that has reached nearly 60,000 views. A huge number of people now have their hands on this code, there is clearly no doubt that this code actually exists, the doubt lies in what it is, exactly.
While coders and mod team members frantically try to make sense of what they have their hands on, there is still no clear answer. Many claim that this is the real deal, others are convinced it's nothing more than perhaps the scariest hoax we have stumbled across. HalfLife2.Net have contacted Valve about the situation and with any luck will have some clarification in the not too distant future regarding this apparent leak. Let us hope that it is in fact a fake, otherwise we're sure to expect further delays for Half-Life 2.
On a final note, HalfLife2.Net does not support or condone the uploading or distribution of this source code, posting of code fragments, nor screenshots of anything leak related, regardless of legitimacy. Any users found doing so will be dealt with harshly.
