If anyone has the HL2 prerelease, please use the forums and send me a private message. I want to see if multiplayer is possible (I know it's possible to make servers but there is no way to search for other servers.)

Tsk, have some repect for the hard workers at Valve!

And it's not a prerelease, it's a leak :)

I know somebody who has it, but he's unwilling to share.

What exactly do you have of the source? Will it run at all?

I believe he already has it and just wants to test multiplayer.

That's right.

I know the programmers worked hard on it, and I appreciate that. However I prepaid for the game and it's going to be delayed ~1 year from its original release date that VALVe was supposedly "totally on schedule" for. So it's not really pirating since I paid for the game already ;)

I'm not referring to the source btw, rather a build of the game that has some maps, textures, sounds etc.

I got the hole source ;\

That sentence makes me VERY worried.

Iago -- Hard workers at Valve? Have you played CS 1.6?

Half-life 2 being released is almost as bad as Blizzard releasing a game...

No, but no matter how bad it is I'm sure they worked hard on it.

No, seriously, I got the source.

How about I turn you in?

Who doesn't have the source, but it's those dumb enough to tell the world about it not once, but TWICE on the forum 8)

Um if you didnt know, Valve leaked the source like all over the net. So I gots it.

I doubt Valve leaked their own source code.

Obviously it was somebody at valve.

yes it has to be someone from valve, there is no way they would leave the source code on a computer with internet accses

It was not leaked, it was released into the public domain.

... It boggles the mind why you would say that. Why would Valve leak something that was supposed to be game of the year, on a brand new engine that kicks the ass of anything currently out there, to the public and competitors? The loss for this leak is estimated at $66.7Million(oy).

Nobody knows how it was leaked, the most popular rumor is that someone hacked into an employee's e-mail that had the source.

Maybe he was thinking quake 2?

That isn't a rumor, it's the truth. Gabe Newell, co-founder of VALVe, claims that various logs show modified trojans throughout their network. He believes the attacker infiltrated the network from a buffer overflow exploit in Outlook.

Yeah that's what I read too.

One of those was released by the maker. Not sure which. If I was wrong, sorry. But one of them did a port to .NET and released the source.

The Quake II engine was released into the public domain by id software several years ago, and somebody else ported it to .NET. Half-Life II was stolen from VALVe software.

Incidently, I doubt they were emailing the source around.

The story is that Valve was slow to roll out some important security fixes for Outlook. Eventually somebody used said flaws to install a trojan and used that to gain account passwords in order to steal the code.

That makes a lot more sense, but I was mostly responding directly to what j0k3r said, that somebody hacked into their email which contained it.

If it WAS an outside job, which it seems to be, I'm very, very impressed.
