Seems like no one has to tweak or overclock it, or even require a very high standard vid card just to run this like Doom3.. Man this is the best.

 

Yeah, I'm actually playing with AAx2 and it doesn't slow down at all.

 

I must say this is probably the best FPS I have played, it actually lives up to all the hype. It's going to be tough for Valve and other comapnies to out do this game.

Except maybe S.T.A.L.K.E.R., but that remains to be seen. Yeah, HL2 seems to be the game that everyone must have.

If I were going to buy it. (I'm not I am broke :D ) it's alittle disapointing that steam costs the same as going to the store and buying it. you'd figure for not getting a disc or manuel or even a cool little box. they could knock a few bucks off the price. not to mention the download time, I'm guessing between 6 and 8 hours on cable. it only takes me 10 minutes to get to best buy..... if valve really wanted steam to work they'd give a bit of incentive to it's users

I played a litle bit on my room mates computer - some glitches in the menu and game load but no problem with the gameplay.

 

I really can't make an opinion on the graphics since I set everything to the lowest option (thought HL2 will drop to DirectX6 specs if needed) but I agree with diso that it is a pretty cool game and the wait was worth it.

 

What's up with the minimalist hud now a days. Seems like HL2 and Doom3 barely have a HUD. I don't know if I like it better that way (since you do see more of the gameplay).
