Update on HL2

[Robor]

I thought the main problem with the source code being leaked was the haxors could use it to create very effective cheats.

Not only that, but some of that code contained third party (Havocs physical engine) that Vavle was sworn not to devulge. So they are now risking litigation.

Hey this is a little OT, but do you guys know if the full version of HL2 will ship with the ATi 9800/9600 XT cards or will it be single player only? I know there isn't any 'solid' info on this, but just curious on what ya'll know. I read at Tomshardware that it's single player only and then at HarcOCP that it's the full version. Thanks

Nordic Hardware also says SP-only (in their XT review). Makes sense, IMO.

 

[1ManArmY]

told ya so.

1ManArmy, and The Inq are saying it's still on track for a holidays release. Also, a HL radio show just toured Valve last night, and Valve confirmed the game was due for the holidays. Dunno who's more accurate, though.

"It's serious because it forces us to delay the launch of the game by at least four months, that is to April 2004.

Four months? Try six!

Yeah I read the Inquirer later on in the day after they updated the story. Dont know what to believe but cnn money has a screen shot of a hacked playable version of the game compiled from the leaked source.

HL2 Delay Mistaken?
