Climb up the object and drop down into the opening on top. You can see the images used for Psyche here.Īs a palate cleanser, let's look at another one of Laidlaw's maps from the leak: Iggy Pop icky poop ickypop.Swim down the canal until you reach a large red object with a ladder on the left side. Keep in mind that this map was not intended to be part of the final product, but the general idea was repurposed for the "Psyche" cinematic used at E3 2003. The idea behind it was "you were in a some kind of induced coma, and had figured out how to break out of it." You can hear a bit of this story with the muffled voices starting at 0:50. Hazard01 was an experimental map by Marc Laidlaw, a prominent writer and developer for the Half Life series until his high profile departure from valve in 2016. Now we can finally talk about what's going on in the footage above, the infamous hazard01. Occasionally you'll still hear people stating that the recording using for trans6 is of an actual cosmonaut, but it is actually a well made hoax. Now, an explanation on "trans6," the transmission you can hear around the 1:12 mark is a recording by the Judica-Cordiglia brothers, who proported to have made multiple recordings of "lost cosmonauts." This is a conspiracy theory, in part spurred on by the work of the Judica-Cordiglia brothers, that multiple Soviet Cosmonauts died, but their deaths were covered up, but it is highly unlikely that no cosmonauts outside those publicly known died. This leak proved quite the embarrassment for valve, since morale was already flagging due to the troubled development, but showing the public that not only would Half Life 2 not be ready for release at its intended launch window, it was nowhere near complete. He then uploaded it to the internet in October, granting us an early alien invasion themed build of Team Fortress 2, the cancelled "Threewave" game, and over 1300 maps from various stages of Half-Life 2's development. Around the time the game was intended to be released, a young idiot hacker exploited a security vulnerability and gained access to internal Valve files, among which was most of Half-Life 2's source code. However, in characteristic Valve fashion, development would be troubled and go on longer than expected. Two things need to be explained before we discuss the above footage: first, the Half-Life 2 Beta Leak, and second, trans6.Īfter the success of Half-Life, Valve began work on the sequel Half-Life 2, set to be released in September 2003.
