I just played the demo on my old system (Pentium 1.4ghz, 512MB RAM and an ATI Radeon 9200) and it runs fluently. The action is incredible, the engine is something you've never seen before, trust me. The characters move fluently and realistically and the lip sync is great. I sure wish they'd release JK4 on this baby. I'm getting the full version for Christmas. Did any of you play it? What are your thoughts on the game? I'm surprised it ran smoothly on my somewhat dated system, but it did - well programmed. -Ken  EDIT: Woot, I'm getting the Collector's Edition for Christmas!

Like I said, I might be wrong and it's really not that big a deal enough to actually find an image of an HL2 CD-ROM, Cuzza.  |

I'm pretty sure I saw the CD-ROM version in like seven stores over here - ah, it's not that important anyway right? The important thing is this game ROCKS. |

Quote: I have the limited edition where HL2 can be installed from one DVD.  Huh? It only requires one DVD no matter what DVD you get. x_X My only problem with that DVD, is that it makes my comp get stuck under boot up sometimes, if it's in the drive. :/ |

Yeah, force push would finally be pretty lifelike... but imagine if someone was crazy enough to build a lightsaber in the Source engine with the enhanced Havoc physics - what would happen when a saber hit another saber? Real time physics. WOW. I have the limited edition where HL2 can be installed from one DVD. |

If I couldn make a suggestion, people who bought the game online seem to have an advantage over those who bought it in the shops, as they do not need to use the CD for installation. If you have a good connection speed I would recommend that .EDIT : Just read your edit, so I guess it isn't an option .WTF, Christmas is tomorrow. STOP CONFUSING ME!!!!! AND Star wars Mod: Force Push would be awesome, all the little things would move . _______________ Padawan to the great Jacen Aratan! <Setementor> Scythus is a genius!

Well, I'm getting the game tomorrow (Collector's Edition) - and indeed I'm looking forward to the mods as well. Maybe even a Star Wars mod... now THAT would be awesome. |

Expect good things from Half Life 2, and look forward to the mods. It is probably the best SDK ever released by a Producer to support their game. _______________ Padawan to the great Jacen Aratan! <Setementor> Scythus is a genius!

Well...im not sure if all this banishment has brought piracy to its knees...or even close to that point. Im sure that most of the ppl who were using the illegal version of Half-Life2, never had Steam installed on their computer before. So in that case...the banishment is pretty much useless for all the ppl who dont use steam at all. But yea...its something new... _______________ Find out more about the Jedi Academy Aurochs here and more about Masta here! Married to Kain. |

Really, that is the only thing I can't complain about. If they are stopping piracy, that means lower prices and less pushing dates back. I can deal with the hastle for that. _______________ Keep On Rocking In The Free World |

Developers should know that theres no way piracy could ever be stopped... And im sure that there are certainly better solutions to increase the amount of bought games then investing tons of cash in new types of anti-piracy-protection which will be cracked in the end anyway. But were getting off topic here ^^ In my opinion...valve managed to create another GotY title. Half-Life 2 leaves pretty much every other FPS behind (closly followed by Doom3 though).It let me go like: O_O and !!!!!!!!! all to often lol _______________ Find out more about the Jedi Academy Aurochs here and more about Masta here!

Word, I just don't like steam b/c it feels like instead of owning an actual copy to play, it feels like I am borrowing the game from Valve. _______________ Keep On Rocking In The Free World |

steam is a good way to stop piracy, the only reason these 'drastic' measures have to be taken is to stop the piraters. _______________ When a Man lies he murder's some part of the world.

Sinestro it's actually completely the opposite, as you can download the files onto any computer and play regardless of where you are, as long as you have your steam login. _______________ Padawan to the great Jacen Aratan! <Setementor> Scythus is a genius!
