Get it from Steam and avoid even leaving the house.

I also know Half-Life won't be multiplayer, but CS Source is also already available for download from Steam.

I'm sure someone will make a HL2 Deathmatch Mod.
I have to buy a whole new pc to play this game and I know it's worth it.

It will indeed be the best. Let's just hope that the requirements are not too big.

In the old days of MX, we had a CS server for MX players, and we almost got a TC vs MX match going with most of the mods from MX versus most of the mods from TC. It was funny because we all ended up playing so nice together in the end.
I rent a dedicated server from Hypernia and I intend to set up a CS server very soon. I wonder who would be down for a new mx team.
We have it running Star Wars Battlefront and Call of Duty right now if anyone plays those games, lemme know and I'll post the IP. It would be fun killing each other.

I hate all these games that brag "your actions affect the world around you".
Just stupid. The game that relied on this sucked absolute ****. If I shoot someones head off, I think his head may actually come off, and people may run. :rolleyes:
Half Life 2 and its mods will be the only game that can pull me away from Unreal 2004 and its mods.
I want it so bad :upset:

Hl 2 can run on 64mb cards (i think) :). But itll look crappy. Im still trying to decide if ill get a better one. Probally not, cause Im about to get a new guitar, :thumb:

ahhh, heres the specs,
Taking time out to post on HL2Fallout's forums last week, Newell said that the minimum spec would be a 1.2GHz powered PC with 256MB RAM, Win 98/ME/2000/XP and a DirectX 7 compatible graphics card.
But for those who want to see the game running in all its glory, be prepared to spec up to around a 2.4 GHz machine, with 512MB RAM, Windows 2000/XP and a DirectX 9 capable graphics card.
Im good.

If I had the computer I would get that beast.

I'd be down.

Will it own Halo 2? Yes, yes it will.
I've had such bad noob experiences in Counter-Strike. I really suck, then again I only played it for a night with a few mxers here. I'm not too hyped about HL2... :o

Wow, last time I saw screenshots of this it looked fairly okay.
Now, it looks positively breathtaking, and loaded with atmosphere!
id really missed the boat with Doom 3. It's great fun for a while, but it could of been so much better. HL2 is gunna be great, I can just feel it. When's the ETA on this thing again? :)

I'm building a computer and one of the main requirements I have is for it to be able to run HL2.
So far I have a video card that can run Doom 3, a gig of RAM, and a 2.17 Ghz CPU.
Suhweet.
Overclocked AMD CPU running at 3200 (even higher when it gets colder, heh) + 1024 MB Corsair RAM + Radeon 9800 Pro = :cool:

Why can't you guys who want to buy a new pc just get an X-Box....its coming out for it too. Not confirmed, but not entirely impossible either.
Either way this game is the shiz.

Its a better experience on a computer, I personally think at least...
And right now I have a AMD 64 3000+, 512 dual channel ddr ram which will make the game run nicely. But I am in dire need of a new graphics card, I spent all my money on all these upgrades but ran out of cash for a video card. :upset:

Either way this game is the shiz.FPS's were made for the PC. Besides it's coming out on Xbox, it will look no where near as good as on the PC (assuming you have a good graphics card)
I'd be down for a CS server or something. I stopped playing CS a while ago because of all the bullshit you have to put up with, but assuming this server is for just fun and non of this I'm Cal-IM leeter than you crap I'm down.
Once I get some money I plan on getting a 6800Ultra. *drools*

My video card isn't good enough to play it. :upset:
what do you have? you can turn the settings down and play it on alot of computers, its still worth it because the physics engine is intense
atleast d-load the beta and see if it works, then buy the real one(the beta blows a big nut)

Can't say I agree.
But I agree on the fact that the graphics will slightly be crappier.

The thing about Xbox is that they'ed have to dumb down the AI because it is harder to aim/shoot with a control than on keyboard/mouse. I realise this is debatable and different for everyone, but come on.
Ramsey

Still can't say I agree. I can't do crap with a mouse. I could own anyone with a controller though.
