| "There were a ton of rumors the past couple days about the |
| existence of a leaked, playable Half-Life 2 beta, but |
| thankfully those stories have been confirmed to be completely |
| false." |
| |
| Well, I hope nobody believed this rumor. Who would actually be |
| good enough to get the source, but forget the game ? |
| |
| To myg0t: this is too big for you to take credit :P |

| Gordon Freeman is back! Along with scientist Eli Vance and his |
| daughter Alyx, your mission is to save the world from total |
| alien domination. See, that little incident in Black Mesa was |
| just the beginning: now those pesky Xen invaders and a new |
| threat called the Combine have spread across the whole Earth, |
| causing massive amounts of death and destruction. It’s up to |
| you to set things right. |
| |
| + Scientist-with-a-crowbar Gordon Freeman joins a ragtag |
| human resistance fighting extradimensional invaders for the |
| survival of a conquered Earth |
| + Unnervingly realistic graphics the likes of which have not |
| been witnessed outside of a motion picture or pre-rendered |
| cut scene |
| + Realistic physics: objects have varied and appropriate |
| mass, density, physical properties |
| + Ingenious artificial intelligence: enemies will adapt, |
| plan, improvise, and respond |
| + Hordes of new aliens and other enemies, plethora of guns |
| and other weapons |
| |
| Minimum system requirements: |
| + Windows98/2000/Me/XP |
| + 700 MHz CPU |
| + 128 MB RAM |
| + DX6 compatible video card |
| + ~3 GB free hdd space |
| |
| Recommended system requirements: |
| + Windows98/2000/Me/XP |
| + 2 GHz CPU |
| + 256 MB RAM |
| + DX9 compatible video card |
| + ~4 GB free hdd space |

| Have fun playing, but buy the game, cause this wasnt intended |
| to be leaked! After the source leak, there was no reason for |
| keeping the beta private. |

Doesn't work for me. I can create a server and host and run around by my
lonesome, but that's it. When I attempt to play or start a new
single-player game, nothing happens.

Seriously, I wouldn't waste my time. It's a 100x15 download and a total
waste of time. Even when running around after creating a server, I get
errors galore.

If anyone has gotten this thing to work, post here.

It's rather sad but funny that someone who claims to have scooped the world
releases something so buggy and non-functional.

ERGO

Go into the maps folder and open em up...thats what i did..theres like 20 of em


also..some guy posted this...

TIPS:

impulse 101 = all guns
god = god mode
noclip = walk through everything

Copying your Counterstrike config file into the hl2/config dir should
propogate your settings to HL2.

cl_showfps 1 w`ill show frames per second in game and so will net_graph 3

Run the exe with options -console -dx9 -width 1024 -height 768 -
fullscreen
For Nvidia Cards: -console -dxlevel 90 -shaderdll shader_nvfx_ps20.dll -
width 1024 -height 768 -fullscreen

For standard dx9 codepath: -console -dxlevel 90 -width 1024 -height 768
-fullscreen

You may want to add -heapsize 128000 or 256000 -- the game seems to use
a default heapsize of 40 megs, which doesnt seem very much.

Load d1_town_01.bsp. After it's loaded type exec e3_town and all of the
AI and scripted sequences should work.

I have a nvidia card so i placed this in the target: -console -dxlevel
90 -shaderdll shader_nvfx_ps20.dll -width 1024 -height 768 -fullscreen -
heapsize 128000

and it runs fine.

Het is niets voor niets een Beta, waarschijnlijk een Multi-Player only Beta!

Double-click HL2.exe
Go into options and set video preferences and controls to suit your wants
Pull down the console with the ~ key and type "map devtest"

If you still feel it was a wasted download, you're weird
