Map Source Leaked? What does this mean?

[spitcodfry]

It's difficult for us to confirm this, but apparently "Anonymous Leaker" has leaked the source for the levels in Half-Life 2. If this is true, we're assuming these are the uncompiled, editable versions of maps. We're not sure if they're still .RMF's. Again, we cannot confirm this news because we refuse to download any stolen HL2 content.

This was posted on both Planet Half-Life and IRC Spy. Does this mean the hacker has acquired only the code for the Half-Life 2 levels, or does this mean he's acquired all the content (ie models textures sounds etc) as well for them? If its only the code then I suppose it's useless when compared to what's already been released. The only downside I can see from this is tons of people posting story spoilers all over the net from the code they've got.

Story spoilers? Hopefully not here.

Hell, a pre-gold version may be released, too. But it doesn't have to mean anything to you if you don't play it.

the Source for the levels? I assume this just means he has used Hammer, and created levels? Or does this mean he has somehow de-compiled levels from the leaked beta, and put them up for download.

I'm assuming all he has is the code. I mean we all are aware that he stole a bunch of content for the beta release...but what I believe this is referring to is in regards solely to the code inherent within each level. Theoretically he could use the pre-existing content he already has in order to fill up those levels. I doubt he has even scratched the surface of the total content Valve has, though. Levels with monsters such as the hydra wouldn't have the proper model available etc.

Theyre the original rmf's and they work. Not much use for em really, guess they're good for mappers...

Thx for clearing that up for us all m8

 

[FISKER_Q]

Why should he say he had so. Or even release so?

All his flaming on valve was pointed out on the lack of content in the game, sofar.

So if he starts leaking out the whole game, then how stupid would he not be, more than he already is that is.

 

[azz0r]

Im sorry but your english is aweful, your sentence structure made no sense.

 

[azz0r]

Sweet...can't wait to see the prison

 

[azz0r]

streetwar is sweet.

 

[FISKER_Q]

Why should he release content, which he flamed valve for lacking?

It would just make his arguments lesser and lesser correct.

 

[-AnthraX-]

Are these all multiplayer maps that would (of) featured in the final game?

And is this anything to be worried about eg. Futher delays and more bad news?

I'm not making fun or anything, and I'm sure your English is much better than my (insert your native language here), but are you using Babel Fish to post your responses? Your word and sentence structure looks quite familiar to their system of translating.

 

[azz0r]

The new maps seem very complete, streetwar is just awesome...

Dude, message me on AIM. My nick is the same as it is on here.

 

[Zebra]

Does this mean it continue with leaking more and more material ?
Even I dont have Beta, or ever wanna get it : are these maps again a part of any new patch ?

Did anyone see Strider/Hydra maps ? Which would prove there's not the whole E3-stuff released.

 

[Kincaid]

LOL. Fisker's responses are hilarious. He's using Babelfish to translate. He's got to be. That is dictionary responses. haha. Good stuff,

Getting the game piece by piece will spoil it. Just remember that.

i think i agree with you on this, at first Iwasnt really bothered by the previous releases, because well they wernt full, and were without story, so it wouldnt really 'spoil' the experience or storyline (atleast that much) but as more and more comes out, I feel relunctant to take a further look, because I dont want a trikle down knowledge, id rather play the game liek I would watch a good movie, having seen a few commercials, but other than that, being totaly in the dark.

This is of course IMO, and is only how I feel, im not telling anyone what they should do or how they should feel. But frankly I loved HL1 because of the experience and the story, and thats what I hope to get out of HL2.

 

[GhostValkyrie]

I really do feel sorry for you people d/ling this content.

-Ghost.

 

[link84]

i think it maybe the non working maps like prison and the other test demos and such

i hope to god i can resist looking at spoilers till it comes out. Kind of like certain movie reviews. You read them and then <bam> a neat thing is blown. : (
