Truth or Rumour

TAKEN FROM http://www.half-life2.org.uk/index.php TODAY
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Rumours say that the hacker belived to be Russian has spoken out on IRC claiming he has the entire source code for Half-Life 2.

To all those saying HL2 was delayed because of the hacking action, ill just remind you that what was leaked is what Valve has, nothing more and nothing less, so its pretty good to understand it wasnt finished yet.
Also I'd like to point out the E3 [demo] was one big fake by Valve. Ever tried to kill that soldier in physicstown ? Notice the door will still get kicked ? No scripted sequences ?
To everyone saying this is no Beta: I'd like to point out that THIS is what you wanted Valve to release on 9/30/03, theres no such thing as a much better release in Valves network!
To Valve: I suggest you stop lying to your customers about how much was stolen/compromised, or I'll have to release everything just to prove my point. And you know what you got, as I do.
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.

In other news, it was confirmed that the new release date is now April 2004, whilst Valve re-program parts of the source code and finish off the game.

What has Gabe / valve have to say about this ?

This is an old, old statement. However, that statement is actually by the hacker.

I'm bordering on locking the thread and telling you to do a search before posting something like this, but I'm far too tired to make a decision of this high calibre (hah), and will leave it up to Abom or another currently partroling mod.

Well, then I got it today off a website ?

Then they're sources are dated.

Time to start visiting up-to-date websites.

Yes, you got it off that website today. Just like a bought Schindler's List from the book store today, doesn't mean it was published today.

Closed, this issue has been discussed multiple times, and all you've added is a poll.
