| 180050 | 2003-10-08 20:31:00 | >Good to see you just refuted what i said without actually looking into the issue at all,I supose Valve's denial outweigh all the obvious exsitence of the files all over the internet? As noted above, a Beta version has also been leaked. I didn't see how an "alpha" could have been generated from the source code stolen and I was correct. Don't get on my case for asking the obvious question based on what had been said by Valve. Why should I choose to doubt what they've said about the leaks to date? |

| 180051 | 2003-10-08 21:04:00 | hmmmm......I cant see what your 'correct' about,Far more was taken the valve admitted,Their statements so far i would call putting a spin on it,or maybe damage control,or just lieing. Which doesn't really matter either way seeing as they are the ones getting stung by these events. As to the release,It includes 20 odd levels and to my knowledge is a stand alone application,featuring artwork,models,textures and has been released as Half Life 2 *ALPHA* by the very same person who released the source code,and if rumour is true he has told valve to aknowledge the full amout he stole or he will continue to release more and more of the goodies. |

| 180052 | 2003-10-08 21:34:00 | Well, I hope one thing we can agree on is that the person concerned is a grade A pratt. Questions of Valve's slackness in allowing the security breach aside, all this moron is has succeeded in doing is riuning the launch of a much anticipated game. Just because you can do a thing, doens't mean you should. | Biggles (121) | ||
| 180053 | 2003-10-08 22:31:00 | Yes, I totally agree, The thievery and rampant ignoring of people's rights on the internet sickens me at times, Whether its theft of product, viruses being distributed or the adult material finding its way into peoples email boxes. The internet is fast becoming something to be avoided due to the rampant illegal/poor behaviour of those that care for nothing but profit or some twisted sense of glory. |

| 180054 | 2003-10-09 02:06:00 | Good round up of the events in this article at CNN Money (money.cnn.com). Interesting to note the comment that Valve and id, as strong independants, usually get to decide when their games ship, not the publisher. Valve is still refusing to comment or confirm the game is delayed, and Vivendi appears to have issued some comments indicating that their earlier statement about a delay till April 2004 might not be the final word. The weirdest thing in this saga is the ongoing conflicting messages being sent out by Valve and Vivendi. They haven't seemed to be reading talking from the same page for months. | Biggles (121) | ||
| 180055 | 2003-10-09 03:07:00 | WELL.. have a look at these articles. Looks like hl2 is shipping in one form another as a singleplayer game with the ati 9800xt card due out soon. www.hardocp.com www6.tomshardware.com Personally... I dont like the idea of bein online as steam is downloading the levels as I play it.... eating into my donwloads for the month. If I was gonna pay for HL2, it should be the whole game I get... not a half ass version. Imagine the poor souls on 56k using steam |

| 180056 | 2003-10-09 09:06:00 | I doubt Steam will pick up in NZ (considering NZ's digusting bandwidth). Anyways, rather than spending hours (aka days) on the net downloading 1 or 2 CD's, why not go and buy it for a few more dollars? - David p.s. I think the guy that hacked Valve had something to do with programming the OGC cheat program for counter strike. I think he is a very smart cookie and knew what he was doing. |

| 180057 | 2003-10-09 10:12:00 | Well wow, from this thread, it sounds like a lot of information has been collected on the responsible party/parties. | agent (30) | ||
| 180058 | 2003-10-09 10:23:00 | Can you explain the OCG cheat program? | PoWa (203) | ||
| 180059 | 2003-10-09 18:34:00 | OGC is one of the most hated programs within the Counter-Strike community, or so i've been told. Basically what it does is it creates a little menu in the game where you can select aim bots (instant headshots), see through walls, change colours of characters, etc etc. Giving people who use it an unfair advantage *obviously ;)* - David |
