Half-Life 2: PHP

Quite an interesting discovery has been made on the HalfLife2.net forums today, when our forum member, Manook, discovered something on the Official Half-Life 2 website.



The discovery seems to be some kind of website game that is based around Half-Life 2, take a look for yourself here.



At the moment, you can't seem to progress in the game, but there is an army of people on the forums right now trying to work it out, so why not join them?

UPDATE: Seems that when you enter the url information;
http://www.half-life2.com/hl2.php?move=s


It comes up with a nice page saying "This was not a test" with the ascii picture of the bird that had been found in the first and second tests. Nice try anyway.



On a side note, if you enter

http://www.half-life2.com/hl2.php?move=gordon


or

http://www.half-life2.com/hl2.php?move=gman



You get some nice little easter eggs. Enjoy
- Icarus



UPDATE: Seems that more answers are popping up with different "move=" commands. Inculding "move=chris_d". You can find more Here

Whats interesting is that the chris_d command leads us to a page saying

Can you really trust anyone, anymore?

You can never know the truth.


Does this mean that it really is the third test? Join the search for the answer here
Or on the IRC channel #ThirdTest on quakenet - Icarus

Well that was fun... every option gets you killed. Maybe this is part of the 3rd test.

Perhaps that is it in HL2... you get into the interrorgation (sp?) room and thats it every thing you do is wrong. All the other stuff we have seen in the movies is some kind of mass induced hysteria.

Personally I think that V was documentary not a mini series, the lizards are here, quick someone get Ham Tyler (Best name or what) and save the planet. May well have shown my age here so apologies to the sub 30 crowd!! :0)

chris,

sorry about that, right after I posted it, I realized there was a separate 'hl2.php' thread in the forum, like 6 pages long, so I assumed someone had already found it and i was going to look like a dumbass... so i deleted it before checking... lol...

i'm dumb

This is a bit funny, i noticed that the links lead to a page that recieved the GET variable 'move' and that there were the 'w' 'a' 'd' values. So naturally i also tried http://www.half-life2.com/hl2.php?move=s

Which gave me a slightly interesting answer



oh crap, so there was antoher thread as usual...

Maybe this is what he was talking about:

http://www.half-life2.com/hl2.php?move=s
Don't know if it was posted or not.
