You are my hero!

Well as I stated in my last post, I've been playing it on my p4 1.5ghz, 1gig sdram and a geforce 2 ti older pc and it's very very playable, you can scale things down alot.

You could play it fine on that but its up to what you think is fine, just a guess but i'd say you could have it at 30-40fps on your machine easy. mine is running on 800x600, low detail and its giving me bout 20-30 fps, i thought it'd give me 4 fps. I'm not usually into playing on ugly mode but its only temporary as I'm awaiting a cable for my radeon 9800 pro to arrive so i can stick in my p4 3.0ghz beast.

Get a Radeon 9800 pro maybe or save up for more, however, you'r cpu seems a fine speed for hl2, anything under 1.5ghz will struggle when the action heats up.[/quote:b13aa]


if its not too much trouble, could you send me a few screen shots?

^ Always thought that was just a showcase demo for the game and not an actual level. happy:

That was fun the giant magnet, pick up those conex boxes and drop them on the bad guys.

The buggy mission is to drawn the fuck out. Im so sick of playing the buggy levels. It doesnt steer for shit and it flips over like its its fucking job. IMO they should have shortened the buggy riding.

From what ive seen so far they seemed to go a bit mad with the levels when you control a vehicle of some sort, the airboat got pretty stale with those mines after a while, im enjoying the buggy more, feels easier to control for me. I like how when you get to that level with the crane the combine troops start lobbing grenades and are pretty sneaky, these seem to be the soldiers and not the metrocops from the previous levels so they seem a bit more intelligent when theyre fighting. Heard 2 of them talking and next i know 2 nades land beside me. ed:

Yeah they are definatly smarter now, because i think they are indeed soldiers now. I loved how the guards use to push you away when you got to close than break out the shock stick.

I got the living fuck knocked out of me by the guards, i smacked 3 of them with cans and got chased into a corner and got rodney king'd by them ed:

I ran it.....

"HL2 will make your computer explode. Use caution. Go play Halo 2 Instead."

Parts like that remind me of Equilibrium.

Is HL2 worth a shit, should i buy it?

think i could run it?

After 4 hours of playing HL2: THUMBS WAY UP. I'm very satisfied so far...
