HL2World was a Half-Life 2 oriented forum, known for leaking an unfinished build of Half-Life 2 and the release of the sandbox mod JBMod. The site took its origin from 'FlameHaus.com' and 'SomethingAwful.com', which inspired its idea. Other versions of this website included 'BF2World.com' and 'CS2World.com'. HL2World.com is currently no longer open, the website is entirely blank.

2003 Leak of Half-Life 2

In 2003, an unfinished build of Half-Life 2 was leaked on HL2World by Axel "Anon-G" Gembe. Axel took this data himself in 2002 by illegally accessing Valve's private networks. He later was sentenced to 2 years of probation.
