I am not prepared for the second coming of Jesus (aka, Half-Life 2)

[nippinout]

I have a 600mhz computer with no chassis fan. It's spray painted gold. I have a GeForce2 SDR only because my GeForce SDR burned out last year.

I need a computer from the future to play HL2.

I bought HL in 2000 only because of Counter-Strike. I've only played the actual HL game for like 15 minutes.

This weekend I will play HL again and must beat it before purchasing my computer from the future and HL2.

So who's actually beaten HL?

DOOM III will be cool too.

I've beaten Half Life at least 5 times and I've done it in all difficulty levels. What a fun game. Half Life Opposing Force was the perfect addition, too. Oh yeah, beat that as well.

Like I said, computer from the future.

People have video cards that have 4 times more memory than I have system memory. LOL

I've beat half-life probably a dozen times. It is one of my favorite games of the millenium.

What are the recommended requirements for HL2?

[Krazy Ivan]

I just built my comp for around $500,

I bought for it:
Antec Case (the one that Alienware used for their first machines)
250gig Maxtor Drive
2700+ Amd
a7n8x e-deluxe Asus Motherboard
-Has Serial ATA, 6 channel sound, ddr 400 dual channel support, AGP 8x, and other coo stuff built in
Radeon 9600XT
2x 256 ddr 400 strips in the dual channel memory slots
400 watt Power Supply

I had:
100 gig hard drive
Cd Burner

I could prolly look into building another if you need. I can work up how much it would cost then email you.

Computer from the future.

They were running the game real time doing some tech demos and gameplay demos at last year's E3.

So I assume if you have a decent computer now, you should be able to run it okay when it is released. It was supposed to be released (I've forgotten the date) sometime but they had the whole fiasco with some source code being stolen.

Half life, opposing force, and blueshift all on hard.

Blueshift is a freaking joke.

Ditto. I must have played HL start to finish 10 or 15 times now. Also played They Hunger...the zombie mod. I have to agree about Blue Shift....it is quite possibly the easiest FPS in history.

Half-Life is the best game of all time in my books. Only HL2 can (WILL! ...I hope) surpass it.

nippinout, I currently have an eMachines T2825, but they stopped making that model a few weeks (maybe two months, max) ago. I would highly reccamend an eMachines with either the AMD Athlon XP 3000 or the Athlon XP 3200 if your on a low budget. I know that there's alot of eMachines-haters out there, and with just cause because eMachines used to be horrible. But, since buying my computer, I haven't had any problems at all (knock on wood).
I use my computer for almost everything, from gaming (Halo, Raven Shield, Quake 3, and eventually Halflife 2 and Doom 3), and I think that it does a great job. However, soon I'm gonna buy a new video card, because this one has an onboard one that is okay, but not great for gaming.

Hope that helps,
-mjs


Oh, almost forgot: WARNING: It is a well known FACT that eMachines tech support is EXTREMELY bad. Only buy one of these if you don't count on needing tech support.

Waiting on anything not older than 10 years to be ported is teh suck

Need anymore?

[painball]

I have never finished HL. I just cannot stand singleplayer games most of the time. The only games I ever play anymore are multiplayer.

I cannot wait for HL2. I have a nice new PC put together:

Asus A78NX mobo
AMD 2500+ (unlocked )
9800 Pro
1 Gig PC3200 corsair RAM
19" CRT
Logitech MX Duo wireless mouse & keyboard
80GB HD



I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready.

Some of you think you got it bad. I got a stock Compaq w/ 450 mhz . I always have a 2:1 ratio or bettter to w/ this crappy thing. When I play on my sisters 2.6Gig computer its on like donkey kong, talk about HS city.
