I had the leak a few months ago, but I think u have to start the game then alt tab out of the game and go to the map folder and choose a map. I know its something like that.

*There are bots
*Physics Engine Works
*You can kill AI
*There is AI in some levels but it's not fully scripted
*There is blood in some levels
*The Multiplayer seems to work not 100% checked though
*There are a few vehicles
*No there is no structured story



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TIPS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Forgotten a command? Put a partial command into the console and hit tab, it will bring
up the closest command, hitting tab again will bring the next and so on......
e.g. ch_create + tab........ you can find out what vehicles are available to spawn

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

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

USE FRAPS for taking screenshots while in game and for FPS counting

Screenshot can also be bound to a key (F5 Default)

'maps' in console allows you to view all available maps and scroll through them

d3_city17 for city 17 maps


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SWITCHES:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-cl_drawhud
-impulse 101
-r_anamorphic 0
-developer 0
-cl_enablehud 1
-cl_showfps 1
-netgraph 3
-mat_preloadshaders
-preload
-console
-dx9
-fullscreen
-width 1024 -height 768
-heapsize 80000
-dxlevel 90
-shaderdll shader_nvfx_ps20.dll
-mouselook
-dx8
-condebug
-toconsole
+map d2_coast_01.bsp

To run Windowed: -sw -startwindowed -window -windowed

(BEST) 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.

It came in an 8x15 pack with the following remarkable nfo :

| Well, I forgot to update you with the freshest stuff from&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; |
| Valvesoftware.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; |

| Detonator-52.13-ANON got leaked today, its the new NVidia&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; |
| drivers for HL2, though i have no fancy video card to test the&nbsp; |
| driver on.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; |
|&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; |
| Btw., for those of you still thinking -ANON is a group, i have&nbsp; |
| to say it isnt. Its just Anonymous.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; |
|&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; |
| To all those saying HL2 was delayed because of the hacking&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; |
| action, ill just remind you that what was leaked is what Valve&nbsp; |
| has, nothing more and nothing less, so its pretty good to&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; |
| understand it wasnt finished yet.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; |
|&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; |
| Also I&#39;d like to point out the E3 was one big fake by Valve.&nbsp; &nbsp; |
| Ever tried to kill that soldier in physicstown ? Notice the&nbsp; &nbsp; |
| door will still get kicked ? No scripted sequences ?&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; |

| To everyone saying this is no Beta: I&#39;d like to point out that&nbsp; |
| THIS is what you wanted Valve to release on 9/30/03, theres no&nbsp; |
| such thing as a much better release in Valves network&#33;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; |

| To Valve: I suggest you stop lying to your customers about how&nbsp; |
| much was stolen/compromised, or I&#39;ll have to release everything |
| just to prove my point. And you know what you got, as I do.&nbsp; &nbsp; |
