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.
He only RELEASED 1/3, but he stole the whole thing, the reason it's not complete is because VALVE didn't complete it! They are fucking idiots trying to release the game at sept 30, they're probably thanking the hacker right now for giving them a VALID reason to delay the game! Everything at E3 was scripted kids.
If they weren't close to being ready, why would they be dumb enough to announce it like they were done so they'd have to work harder to make excuses and "fake examples"... sounds pretty dumb to me.
So your saying you dont beleive they leaked cause it would look stupid ?
Isnt that exactly how they would want ppl to think if they tried to buy time ?

Why do you think the game was delayed? They set the release date to get people hyped, but they know they can't possibly finish the game on sept 30th, so now they've the perfect chance to delay the game
