rofl. You can run Duke Nukem 3D though, at like 4 beelion fps (but so can a toaster..)

I am going to wait 6 month for the price to drop to bucks...paying almost 60 bucks for a game is B.S.

Buying hyped games right when they come out is a waste of money IMO. Case in point...Doom 3.


Amen. Glad I didn't buy Doom 3....

But this isn't D3. It's HL2 -- it will (and I suppose it already has) lived up to the hype.

True, but it's still a game. My life will continue without it. I'll probably upgrade my system over the holidays, and then pick it up post holiday when it's cheap.

What kind of system you have?

From what I've heard, it scales down extremely well to "non-cutting-edge" and even "older" systems.


Just like how Doom 3 scales down to a Voodoo2 SLI?

ROFL, those are amazing screens. At least it's not DARK anymore in the corridors :laugh:

Can't wait to see some V2 SLI pics of HL2...

I'm waiting to see if it's playable on a GF3 Ti200.
If so, I'll ask for it for xmas.
If not, I'll ask for a Radeon 9600 or similar card instead.

You don't play FPS? Did you ever play HL1?

your CPU
RAM

Cheers to that :beer:

Kinda wish I could upgrade my system as well, but even HL2 probably won't justify the cost. A XP2500+/9800Pro should run it quite reasonably. (hoping for the same with CS:S)

Thank God I never got into it.

I played Guild Wars 2 weekends ago and all my plans for that weekend immediately went on hold/ got cancelled.

I am afraid to try WoW for the exact same reason. Gonna take off from work just to play when it comes out and then not have vacation left @ christmas!
