errm Valve needed 6 million to keep the copmpany afloat but knew HL2 was nowhere near ready. They con ATI into coughing up some cash (6 million) and then leak some useless source to buy time Or Gabe really is a dumb ass when it comes to security :D

its just finished preloading and the message said a locked copy of HalfLife 2 is now on your computer. Does this means thats the lot?

I guess thats why your a moderator on a board talking about HL2 and Gabe's a multi millionaire making HL2. Come on, he's really gonna scrap HL2 and start again cause of some leak. And you think he should? So you would hand back that big fat $6million pay check from ATI - i don't think...

i heard he split the $6million dollars ati gave Valve. At least they have the money to finish the game now:cheese:

We're keeping the weapon list secret. One of the reasons we're being cagey about stuff is because we have this philosophy of keeping something for the guy who plonks down his money. Lol - I guess it's not a secret anymore Doug - idiot:D

If you think HL2 will be a better game than Doom3 i think you may just be eating your halflife2 cd when it comes out. Damn, the Alpha Doom3 made me jump out of my skin and it was only a test level. Ok the two games are very different - but I think Doom3 will do to the FPS genre what HL1 did...

Anybody else think that the single player of HL2 is going to disappoint? After all the movies, screenshots and beta leak I am not as hyped as i was a few months back. Once you've played around with the physics and seen Max Payne in action you kinda know already what to expect. I guess its...

I wouldnt bother now - no games that will require that hardware will be released this year now Hl2 is postponed. Defintely wait for the new hardware next year and get some real performance improvements. You could get by on a radeon 9700pro - even Halo runs fine on that and certainly a 5800.

At the moment, Nvidia cards are crap. When they are better than ATI again I will buy them again. Until that time no amount of detonator releases will make me change my mind. Fix the hardware design first - then fix the drivers not the otherway round

FFS Go Back into retirement. The game industry pays crap - is that why all id drive ferrari's. 1 million games @ $40 plus spinoffs. sponsorship and expansions equals a lot of money for 5 years work. Look at how much 3dRealms made from Duke Nukem and that was written by a teenager who...

No you are quite wrong The AI in some levels is quite astonishing - wait till the final game - you wont believe how good the AI is. Now stop refering to the beta as a finished product on which to base your assumptions - its not, its a brief glimpse at what will be an awesome finished product

Ffs looks like all the staff dreamed this one up on these forums - maybe if we all post people will take it serious. Come on keep to facts not scare mongering Disconnect the game from the internet when you play it or turn zone alarm on. If HL2 wants access to the net it will have to...

the game will sell millions no matter what else is released FPS Half life is still the best FPS - it set a benchmark that nobody has yet surpassed. It has also brought us the best mods in counter strike. Your telling me somethings going to beat it? I dont think so. The only thing that...

lol i think the hackers will release one before Valve
