Don't count on it, 2 times it has leaked now, some one got all the source, so there's a leaked version out on the internet that WORKS. I can't wait for HL2, I'm a big fan of the Half-Life games, I basically have downloaded all the mods available for it :D

Yeah, I know I played it man https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2005/10/12.gif

The leak was pretty crap though to be honest, not much functionality!

Maybe I'm just used to Far Cry, Stalker previews, CoD and Doom now but they don't look all that amazing to me. :erm:

If you was to have played Half-Life 1, this is a VERY BIG step for Valve since the graphics are FAR better.

The screen shots are far superior to anything CoD could manage, what with its gashy Q3A engine and frankly I'm bored of Doom, it's too dark and has got really repetetive, from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R leak I played, it's also far superior and will no doubt have a far more interesting story line than Far Cry.

Yeah I have the original HL, pathetic graphics but it's still a great game to play.
As long as the playability is good then that's the main thing.

When half life was released, it had pretty revolutionary graphics.

Your opinion I guess, but I think the graphics in HL2 look on par with Stalker, Far Cry is very nice, but too "shiny", CoD :confused: Don't make me laugh! And I don't think any engine (except UnrealEngine3.0) can be compared to Doom3, it's too far advanced.

Don't worry there will be loads to play, there are already loads of mods being created for HL2 so you won't get bored :D

Yeah seriously, CoD.
In the last scene on single player when the tanks are battering the hell out of Berlin it looks very much like a HL2 scene with lots of detail going on.
I think the CryEngine comes fairly close to the Doom engine but you're right, the latter is far superior to anything else atm.

You'll be glad to hear that the original Half-Life will be re-released using the new source engine https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2005/10/12.gif

Hope it's bundled with HL2 or at least sold alongside it for £10 or something.

STILL upgrading the normal Half-Life? Oh come on, it's OLD!

You must have played a totally different version of Call of Duty to the one I have, there's nothing comparable visually.

Yep, but it just happens to be one of the best games ever https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2004/11/10.gif :p:

From what I have seen Along with HL2 you should be getting Counterstrike source and HL1: source.

I think it is gonna be so cool to play HL1 again with amazing looking graphics. That is after I play HL2.:D

I just took a couple of screenshots playing Berlin at 1600x1200, 4xAA, 8xAF.
I think these look pretty good.

I disagree, I don't think the object models and even come close, did you ever see the beach level in the HL2 alpha leak?

Never played it. :shrug:
I'm not doubting that the graphics will be amazing, I'm just saying that those screenshots posted earlier just don't look anything special.

Trust me, I've played both, HL2's graphics (and physics) poo all over, wipe, then poo yet again all over CoD.

Bifta, that's the leak, what do you expect? The final is going to be the best, the leak is nothing like the final release. According to Valve that is, but I never trust them after what they did with CS:CZ :erm:

Half-Life 2 Steam Preloads [August 19, 2004, 10:27 am EDT] - 1 Comment
Half-Life 2 Fallout (thanks GameSpot) has more news from their forums as Gabe Newell made a post yesterday indicating that today is the day Half-Life 2 assets will begin pre-loading for some customers over Steam:
HL/2 pre-load will begin tomorrow. It was ready yesterday, but we decided to use the bandwidth to get out the VST first since I get pelted with zillions of questions from people asking how their PC will run Half-Life 2.

can't wait looks stunning. Not long now. After all all the pack prices were released yesterday and with steam pre loaded most of counterstrike source and HL2 I think it may be released around the end october early november. PC zone has a review this month!!
