Source Engine 2000-2001

So i was wondering if early builds of source engine (namely from years 2000-2001) are still around, and if so, can they be accessed?

Nope, Source 2003 is as much as you can get. There never was any other builds around, only 2003 leak.

But if there were no other builds around, then how did Valve playtest the old maps from early days?

He means there were no other leaks but 2003 one. Obviously Valve had playable builds of HL2 through whole development cycle, but as for us, fans, the one from September 2003 is the only one we got.

Ah I see... I wonder what 2001 Source Engine looked liked

We have few screenshots from around that era, so one can get a picture

Basically Goldscr with slightly better graphics and physics, thanks for the info.
