I've seen the trailer. I almost cried it was so beautiful. I cannot wait for this game.

LOL, samehere. I'm thinking we're going to have to save up some $$, because the graphics are so beautiful, that this PC will shatter by it's power. I'm not sure if I should wait a little while for the vga prices to go down, or spend it on something like an Radeon 9600..eh, 128 mb. Not to mention more ram and a better hardrive.

Ah that sucks. I just got a new computer less than a year ago (for college) so I'm set. I've got plenty of hard drive space, plenty of RAM, 128 mb video card. I think the minimum requirement is going to be a 64 mb vid card though.

Well, just in case your in need of any hardware, I really recommend www.pricewatch.com . Everyone usually goes ahead with the comman online store, new egg, but I prefer the cheapest prices possible.

www.newegg.com if you want new pc stuff. I haven't found anything to beat there one day sales.

And can you say Game Of The Year, or runner up.

 

[nadroj1985]

I can say game of the year. I forgot how to say runner up. I wouldn't need to though, if I'm talking about HL2

Yep, buying that puppy in a few years..prepare yourselves for the best experience on the planet!

 

[nadroj1985]

I don't play games on PC enough to want a card that would cost $400. I'd much rather spend that on about 25 cds

Call me strange but I've yet to get excited about HL2. Doom3, yes! UT2004, yes! Halo2.... well DUH!

Those trailers look good although it's hard to pass jusdgement on a compressed movie file. No doubt the real time graphics of the actual game are set to blow us away.

The gun sounds sounded just like the ones from the Halo2 trailer... but that's just sound libraries for you I guess.

The use of the buggy looked very cool, and the environments looked pretty awsome. The little blokes running around looked kind of very low poly to me, but that's probably the movie compression making things unclear. Or perhaps mass produced models (such as general population) has been done with fairly low poly models to keep the game speed up.

Will be VERY intereting to see how much freedom is given in each level. From the movies they look VERY free roaming. In fact the whole city scape thing looked awsome.

So these trailers have taken me from a point of "dont bother me, I'm above all the hype" to "hmmm, do I buy it on PC or Xbox?"

I'll certainly be keeping a keen eye open.

Then again, I only have 1 keen eye left.... my other one if still watching for "Duke Nukem Forever". It's hurting that eye after 6 years or watching and waiting.

Do you get computer fairs where you are? you can get good bargains from them, also if you can get a 9500 over a 9600 its faster, I've ran benchmarks on both and 9500 won every time plus its more 'overclockable', that said over here the prices for 9800s are dropping like a dropping thing thats decided to drop very fast.

Anyway by the time HL2 comes out, the nex hardware will out and the 9800 will be quite cheap, heck by that its out, will pcs still exist?

Also there are rumors of HL3 but of course that gonna get delayed several times and a hacker will break into Valves computer systems and steal the artwork for the inside back cover thus delaying it several months because big companies never back up their data

DUDE!!!! I USED TO BE COBRA COMMANDER

Half-Life was one of the most enjoybable games I've played (The Zelda series are also). I am anticipating HL2 very very much... I hope it's a really long games as they have made it out to be.

 

[Dark_Lite]

Personally I'm waiting for the multiplayer aspect of it.

They seriously had better release Team Fortress 2 with it or there shall be some smitin' goin on... in one player mode while I wait.

 

[Grunt]

I have high hopes for HL2. Hopefully Valve is going to deliver.

I wondered what happened to him...................

I wondered what happened to him...................

Yeah I know. I had to change my evil ways now that toys with guns are "unacceptable". I laugh everytime I see action man now. How silly does HE look in his day glow yellow cycle shorts and his roller blades? Oh Action man... you are sooooo scary LOL.

CHR15T05,

I agree with you on that one. Somehow I'm just hardly excited about HL2. I look forward to playing it, ofcourse, but it's not like "OMIPU I MUST HAVE THIS GAME, I MUST PLAY THIS GAME OR I WILL DIE WITH MY LIFE UNFULFILLED!!!" It's just lost the novelty of anticipation.

And part of the problem, I think, is that they give too much away. We've read about how HL2 is going to have monsters that hunt by smell, and you can spray aerosols to distract them, we've seen the screenshots and we've watched the trailer. Now we know what to expect, and once the game comes out we can get right in and play. Had Valve kept the project a Level 5 super-top secret then came out with a bang, and let us find all the nooks and crannys ourselves instead of telling everyone about them, then I could say "Wow! Never knew you could do that in a computer game" instead of "Coo- Very clever."

What do you think?
