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.

Typically when Valve/HL2 auto-detects settings, it does a good job. But you could probably turn it up a bit more in some spots if its good. For the GF4ti/FX series its either gonna choose DX8.0/8.1 as the default and it should run smooth with the looks a smidge toned down (but still awesome looking).

Thanks.

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

I bought it today. 2 hours just flew by.

****ing nuts.

I love this game. I'm running on medium settings and the game's running great. I haven't had this much fun playing an fps in a long time.

Thanks for the hardware info fellas.

I heard a radio ad this morning.

Man, I wanna play this game, but I've got no money and no time.

I'm pretty far into the game, and about to start over at a higher difficulty.

The game is so addicting. And whats great, is I can play CS:S if I ever want to take a break from Half Life 2. So much fun in 2 beautiful games.

i like the feel of CS Source, but honestly, the game is just so utterly repeatitive.

im waiting on some mods tho. A normal HL2 multiplayer should be out soon, and im also looking at Day of Defeat Source, and Team Fortress Source.

this game has such great great potential for mods, they can do so much with this engine. really looking foward to em.
