It's not a crack site, it just shows what had been confirmed as copied and released.
Information that can also be easily found via google (where I found it).

it was a site with cracks on

thus a crack site

Playing it now. And before the 'bitching' starts, yes I do have it (and HL2) on preorder. I HAVE >>>>**** PAID ****<<<<. :-)

Looks OK. On my (overclocked) GT, it seems sweetest at 1280x1024 with 2xAA and 8xAF. Detail is set to High (i.e. the one under Ultra, which they say needs a 512MB card for).

To those of us used to framerates in the 100's+, well, fraps shows a pretty much pinned 60fps. The disturbing bit was the start of the game. I saved as the game opened (i.e. I hadn't taken a single step), and had a 'pan' around. Fraps showed a lowest figure of 40fps. Once you move on, though, it jumps back to 60 or so and stays there. Having played around, it seems that it's the 'shadows' that are really giving the big hit; every other setting doesn't seem to sway Fraps very much.

All-in-all, looks OK so far, but I wouldn't be as enthusiastic as some of the web sites. Still, it's early days (in fact minutes) so I'm sure it'll grow on me. Still have a feeling that HL2 will be the 'better' game, though.

No, you can't get *any* cracks from that site, you can only get the .nfo information, hence the name of the site

You might have well paid for your legitimate copy, but you've still downloaded warez and that's probably enough to get this thread closed..

Well done
