You're damn freakin right something is wrong with that. Keeping up with todays PC game standards is too expensive, I'm just gonna wait for it on Xbox I guess.

From the other thread that posted about this, it was said that they have the link, but do not want to give it out because they don't want to be a part of the distribution of it.. which I agree. I'm sure there will be some news on it very soon.

I wouldn't doubt if the source was on torrent, it's going to spread very fast I would say

If this is true....UGH. Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad. No good :(. I was hoping that HL2 would be 99.9999999999% hack free. But.... this is going to do some damage.

I still need some hard proof before I can believe it

Shalmanese - how did you hear about this?

Well, no company is going to build a game on leaked code. It's the mod and h4x0rs that are going to benifit.

I have the source code on my HD. I won't say where I got it but, suffice to say, the cat is out of the bag and pretty soon every man and his dog will be able to get a copy.

Maybe, but who's going to find out? Besides, they can just borrow components which they need and nobody will be able to prove anything.

I saw this somewhere earlier today, man I can't believe this. The leak is fvcked when Valve gets a hold of them.

Other "professionals" take over and release it for you? If anybody can get a product out on time it's the warez guys heh. ;)

Valve's got a real sh!tstorm on their hands if this is true. Arguably the most advanced game engine ever produced available freely on the internet.

I click on those images....and they are blurry....can't read them.

I've noticed this before sometimes with other links/images.

Is there something wrong with my IE6?

Just click on it. IE/Mozilla/etc. resize the image to make it fit the window.

Didn't these HL2 fanbois say HL2 would run smooth as a baby's ass on a P3-550/128? I know one of them did when I pointed out how graphically intense HL2 would be

Not for me in IE or Firebird. You can turn off image resizing in IE's options.
 

I remeber when the Quake source got leaked but this is 1000x worse. The game is not even out yet!
