Well after downloading those 1.4GB for 2 hours, I installed the game and what do ya know, its the real thing.
I played with the demo for 1 hour (for now) and took few pictures, and the game is fuckin' great, I take what I said about not buying it, cuz I'm gonna buy it.
(pictures resized for 56kers)

EDIT: NO MORE PICS!

and was all that arguing worth it?

Looking at those pics tho, it seems like you dont have all the details/textures maxed out. Still looks fuckin sick though.

This looks like it's basically the E3 demo which was shown a few months back.

I wonder what will be changed in it since they delayed it by another 4 months. And I really hope for Valve's sake that other company's don't acquire the Source engine...last thing they need is 5 years of work to be used by every developer on the planet.

No man, I didnt try to argue, but I dont want people telling me what to download and what not, ya know.
I knew the game would own, and after playing this demo, I confirmed it.
The demo has over 30 maps, all done (some arent, but still playable).
I play this at 1280x1200 all to the max, the pics are 1280x1200, so youll have to enlarge them to view them at best quality!
This demo is not even 60% complete, some texures are mission and this and that, but still Im having a blast playing this shit, fuckin amazing, the AI, physics and graphics are sick!
I dont have the Source code, and I dont want it, and I hope no one else gets it (which Im sure alot of epople will )

BTW, I WILL NOT BE UPLOADING ANYMORE PICS, IT TAKES TOO MUCH TIME, BUT YOU GET THE IDEA!

I wasn't really telling you what to dl or what not to dl, but your reasons for it were crazy. Valve did the smart thing by delaying it. IF it was released then imagine how many people would have their copies hacked, how many cheaters would be on the multiplayer, and how easily hackers would be able to access Steam and dl ppl's personal info.

Believe me, I've been waiting for this just as much as you (Half-Life is, afterall, my all-time fav game) and this truly pissed me off. But you can't blame Valve for it. Shit happens. And hopefully they don't suffer too much from this.

Anyways; no hard feelings?

Word of advice: watch out where you post this stuff. Another forum I reg at (IGN)...they're really cracking down on this shit. Anyone who posts info on the Source code and/or beta gets permanently banned and their IP's are recorded and sent to Valve.

I agree with you 100%, no hard feelings at all
But I dont think they should force steam on us, if we dont want to use it we dont have to, you know, it bullshit!
Im still gonna buy this, I never planned on downloading the full product (even tho I can), I want to give valve my money for making such sick ass game!
And too bad they got hacked, I kinda feel bad about the whole thing ... 5 years for such a blow ... thats fucked up, but I hope he gets busted and the game will hit retail before x-mas

BTW, I didnt post this anywhere else, and even if they get my IP they cant prove shit.

Takes from the official Half-Life 2 forum;
"The ANON leaker/hacker (anonymous), has said in an undisclosed IRC channel and room that he will be releasing the Pre-Gold version of Valve's Half-Life 2 tomorrow with the 100% SourceCode. When asked why he will be releasing it so soon after the Beta he said "I suggested Valve to stop lying to their customers about how much was stolen. However, they disregarded my statement and called me a liar. Now they will see how much I have been lying when I release the Pre-Gold and all 100% of the sourcecode. Actions speak louder then words."
I was in the IRC channel and room when people where buzzing with the new news. I just wanted to let you guys know, for you all will know soon enough, especially when it will be out tomorrow. I just hope Valve does something and something real soon.
And for you guys that will come in here flaming, it is not fake and I did not make this up. In a little while go into any IRC channel (I won't tell you which) and you'll hear the buzz too. Remember, Im just trying to tell you guys what's up. Judge me tomorrow when it comes out if you want. I am not trying to support Warez but its not like I can do anything about it to stop him."

This shit is getting really fucked up , I must say that I hope this wont happen, but if it does, I wont have a choise but to download this
