supposedly you'll need a kick-ass videocard to really do anything.
have no idea when it's going to be released - Valve just released their new software platform Steam and it is kind of crap at the moment.
big chance you'll have to use Steam to buy and download HL2 - which is pretty shitty for 56k users, besides the servers having to pump down huge amounts of data..

supposedly it's still set to be released the 30th.
i really hope it runs on my laptop, cuz this game looks like something i'll be obsessing over the next year or two.

should be good, but i think valve are working hand in hand with a graphics cards maker (which'll be a top seller no doubt, due to half life fans wanting to play the game)

yeah PHL still believe it'll be delayed but some articles say otherwise.
either way, i'd rather have a smooth-running HL2 at a later time than have the final release at the original expected date with a buncha bugs & glitches.

I watched that huge 600MB demo of it, and it's nothing short of spectacular... however... my CPU is nowhere near good enough to run it well... I hope it comes out for Xbox.
Metal Gear Solid 3, Doom 3, Halo 2, Resident Evil 4... some fucking HEAVY hitters coming up in the next year.

The new Duke Nukem... I dunno man, it's probably NEVER coming out. Looking at Gamespot and IGN, there hasn't been any new info on it in... well, YEARS. No updates, no new screenshots since 2001...
Half Life will be worth the wait.

5 years.
it took long because they sought to create the best damn game engine to date, and it's nothing short of a big long painstaking project.

That should definitely be good enough.
I just might buy a supermegaultra computer JUST for this game. I need one anyway...

btw.: has anyone realised how the game creators are highing up the requirements so that you HAVE to buy new hardware to playe their game?
i mean doom 3 for example. the characters don't consist of many poligons. the real effect is just real good bump mapping, which doesn't need so much hardware at all. the most resources are for the textures, but i think a good hdd sould last.
