Man this is crazy. So from what I'm hearing, this hacker person actually "stole" all the stuff, and Valve doesn't have the source codes/files to certain things anymore? That's too bad, but if they really don't have some of the stuff, why didn't they backup the stuff? Even at my own school, we back up the server every week.



But as for CS in HL2, that sounds exciting.

'Stealing' on the internet usually refers to 'copying'. I'm pretty sure they still have their files, they just have to re-write them so they aren't the same thing this guy leaked (since knowing the source code of a program gives you a lot of power over it). Then again, nothing's been said to discount what you're suggesting...

umm



the leaker isnt doing it for attention nub, but gj anyways, its leaked anonymously.



and yeah i have played it, that mean i wont buy hl2? hell no, imma buy it first chance i get, this <you cant even call it a beta its so buggy> just makes me want the full game even more.



:O

what a bastard! is it so hard just to wait for the game???

[Chaser]

this sux, thats all i have to say

[Simplex]

I'll join the rest of the "captain obvious" crowd and say that this sucks.



I would have been really pleasantly surprised had I been able to replay Half-Life on Source after I bought hl2. Or however the hell they were planning on pulling that off.



I'm starting to feel really bad for VALVe. This is their livelihood.

They still have all the code. Even if the hacker had moved the content off the servers, as opposed to copying, Valve make nightly backups and have numerous off-site backups.



Also, wasn't the HL1 on the Source engine thing common knowledge?

Only a matter of time before this moron is caught. Hes like a serial killer that is in it for the fame. He keeps making noise here and there.. watch.

Ok, from what I was hearing, it sounded like they lost the code, especially when the game was delayed. Thanks.

"since I'm not very eloquent"



oohhhhhhhhhhh!!



Admit it. You'd love for someone in VALVe to call you the fox news of counter-strike.

[Loomis]

Wasnt it that they were going to rewrite it?

[Dredger]

HL1 AND CS in the Source engine..... Why release that when it would Kill CS and CZ straight away. Reckin it's just BS. the guy STOLE FFS, why believe anything he says.

[MeylokK]

they were going to release these things anyway, is it really a big deal?

[Sovereignty]

To those of you who says he's doing it for fame: He's still anonymous. He hasn't asked for attention, money, props, or ANYTHING. Nobody in the world besides him knows who he is. I wouldn't call that very fame-driven.

[RaptorRage]

Or perhaps if he revealed his identity he would be found, arrested and tossed in a cell for a while... :P

hey , will that leak delay CZ again!!!!!!!!???????
