Without actually seeing the beta myself it's a bit too hard to tell. But is it not possible that he stole everything, but won't be releasing it until Thursday? I'd say that's possible.

From what I've heard regarding the current beta, the AA/AF causes artifacts (something that was fixed after E3), and from what I've heard in here there's no e3_tunnels demo. Other people I've spoken to have said there's loads of models missing and I've seen screenshots of Kleiner's Lab with Alyx and Kleiner doing nothing and being 2 error modles behind them. If that's all they had by September 30th, my ass isn't hairy.

i dont care about being banned, only here to assist :bounce:

Correct.

And now i am back ah i see an answer to my post.

Why the Hacker does not have all the code:
1: If he did have all the code, like I've said 100 times, there wouldn't be missing sequences, animations, compression code misplaced on walls, and all kinds of other problems that we did NOT see in the E3 Demo. Obviously, this Hacker either knows he doesn't have all the code, or he thinks he does.
2: Obviously this Hacker hates Valve, so I wouldn't trust a word he says. To top it off, he is a thief

Why nobody should take this Beta seriously.....AT ALL
1: The Hacker himself had to connect all the code together (Compile) and since he Doesn't work at Valve, I can assure you there is misplaced Code, and perhaps alot of it.
2: The Scripted scene in Traptown is actually a very simple code. It is a simple If & Then with a Loop inbetween. If in 5 years, Valve didn't put a 3 line piece of code in, then something is seriously wrong.
3: Even if all the Code was compiled correctly, that proves that the Hacker himself did not get all the Code (Errors)
4: If the Hacker by some chance did get all the code (Very unlikely), then we would be seeing the same graphical display (Without tons of Errors) as in the E3 Video.

Why I think the Hacker himself is a Modder/Skinner
-He has already created CS, DOD & HL in the Source Engine.


Etc. Etc.
If this Isn't enough to convince you not to take this hacker/leaked beta seriously, you need your head checked :|

LoL get informed

I agree though, it hardly seems feasbile that it would be in the state of what I've seen of the beta (admittedly not much) even if it weren't ready.

The beta just doesn't seem to match up even in terms of looks with what we've seen officially. Hardly impressive graphically, although that could just be because people taking screenies are running sub par systems I suppose. Don't ANY of these haxxor kiddies have decent DX9 compatible graphics cards?

I have a gf4 ti4200 and it works fine for me the game that is,.. halfilfe2 that is... this ati thing was just a market thing i beleive.. i dont see what the difference would be in the game with an ati card but ill take it over to my friend he has one of those damn ati cards that you all are babblking so much about. here.. hehe this gun is cool

Nono read the nfo yes the beta was bullshit yep its all in the no anon never gives out any release info in public like that. and about the playable ver of the game yes it does work and i havent gotten any errors yet.

Oh ohohoh I mean GRrRRREAt errors.. i dont klnow how great an error should be but i guess any error is a great one :cheese:

 

[Dedalus]

you pirates need to be shot.

 

[rec]

Moved to rumors and speculation.

 

[voodoomachine]

lmfao the last post the hacker made, which is with the nfo file, says, who would be stupid enough to take the source code, but not the game. Yes its an old beta. From what i've seen of it. But much of it is there, and if used properly can mess the game up 4 ppl waiting for a proper release.
