After years of development, Half-life2 is finally out. I doubt i'll see it in any stores (small crappy town) but I could get it off of steam right now if I wanted. Unfortunate for me, I have no cash... <_<
*sits and waits for a crack to be released* :blink:
I dont have a pentium 5 4000mhz
There seems to be a lot of confusion about this...unlike Doom 3, HL2 is a scaleable game and you change the graphics settings to suit your PC. So as long as you bought your PC in the last couple of years you should be fine...no need to upgrade to the latest processor and GFX card if you don't want to.
Minimum system requirements
700mhz P3/celeron or AthlonXP or equivilant
128 megs SDRAM or faster ( 256+ required )
any DirectX 6.0 compatable card
and youll get good gameplay, but don't expect it to play like it does on the demo movies if you run that
so..
everyone should get Half Life 2 cause it works on almost any machine, and its only 45 bucks max, higgest price ive seen
I cant wait to try it out on my 6800gt tho... thats why I bought it, Doom 3, Farcry, Morrowind 2, and Half Life 2

o ya, dont go PCI express yet, they dont have a real advantage, but they will in the next series of gfx cards

Doom 3 actually had really low system requirements, and ran very well on low end hardware. screen shot of doom3 running on voodoo 2...
