LostInSpace Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 Well folks I've seen and tried out HL2. A friend of my mine (who shall remain nameless to protect the guilty ) dloaded what is now a beta release. It doesn't include the source file but a compiled game. It's also an almost 2gig download EGADs!!! The only thing you get is the EXE file and all the maps and config files etc.. Even at this size of a file it's is not complete however the only levels that seem to run good are the E3 demo levels. There are a lot of missing sound files and texture files. You find this out when you load the level. Also with this so called beta version the main menu does nothing you have to load all options and maps thru the command line. All I can say about it is HOLY COW!! The graphics in this game are awesome as is the physics. Can't wait to buy the released game. I hope they just shake this incident off their boots and get on with it.

Kevin Trotter Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 I jest. I was just tossing a sour apple in SC's direction. that thing belongs in a James Bond flick! With all that UC's source code seems pretty f****ing safe!
Bandus Posted January 22, 2004 Report Posted January 22, 2004 The heat is still on for the folks that stole the code. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3414157.stm
weegee_101 Posted April 22, 2004 Report Posted April 22, 2004 Pity, but I'm not surprised.... I'll tell you what; Half-Life 2 better be d*** good or I'm not going to bother with Valve again. Too many good developers can't make up their minds anymore.
Supreme Cmdr Posted May 20, 2004 Author Report Posted May 20, 2004 Well, it looks like they caught the culprit. He's German. News in German Babelfish translation Chatlog on his computer, discussing the theft
Avenger2099 Posted May 20, 2004 Report Posted May 20, 2004 Wow man just wow. Those people weren't hackers they where um... crap... well theres a slang term for malicious hackers. True hackers just want information shared but if these guys deleted/took not copied the source code they stole that makes them (Insert Slang Term Here) heh yeah. But either way this just crossed the line. Found it out its Freaker thats the slang word... Freaker. [ 05-22-2004, 04:25 PM: Message edited by: Cadrian Almondo ]
