Blast, I want this game!

But for now, WoW has me hooked.... but their beta will only last for a couple of days.

What PC specs are you running Jason?

Null?

I have a Pentium 2.4 and a geforce ti4600.

It's getting pretty old for this

I wanna play it so bad

You can play it fine. You can have a video card that is for DX7 only and it'll run HL2.

Valve thought about its gamers more when it made HL2 then iD did with Doom3

so you'll be fine with any current video card DX7 and up (albeit a little more ****ty looking but still very playable)

mines a 2.66ghz p4, Radeon 9600XT, 1gb DDR RAM.

i might try overclocking it again to a 3.0ghz tho. last time i did that Unreal kept booting me out so i never played around with it. i should be able to get it stable at the speed if i adjust some other stuff tho.

Ive got a P4 2.66ghz with a RADEON 9500pro. 512MB's RAM.

Im glad ive got a DirectX9 card...game looks stunning.

I just might try lowering the sound quality a bit, see if it helps...its not really a huge problem...

i dont really see you having any problems unless you go trying to crank up every setting. But then again you dont need to crank up every setting cuz the game still looks great on the lower settings.

Half Life 2 is so much better than Doom 3 in it's scalability. I heard from someone running at bare minimum requirements, and they were still able to play smoothly, and said the game still looked decent.

So, if you have the minimum specs, no viruses and a defraged harddrive, you should have no problem playing HL 2.

My specs:

P4 2.6ghz
Gforce 4 5200 overclocked or something.
512 Mb Ram

Middle of the line. I want to get a gig of memory to speed up the load times.

Anyways, HL 2 is rockin!!! So addicting! I have skipped 2 days of school on accident because of this game because I lose track of time.

Thanks.

I expected that... World of Warcraft also runned (yes, the beta ends today) smoothly on my PC.
