Just pre ordered Half Life2 - GoFuckYourself.com

Sosa · 08-10-2004, 02:31 PM

Just got done pre ordering Half Life 2 that the release date is Sep 1st. Hopefully they keep that date now. Anyone else pre-ordering it?

candyflip · 08-10-2004, 02:49 PM

Are they giving anything away for pre-ordering? I'm sure there will be plenty of copies on the shelves the day of release.

Tom_PMs · 08-10-2004, 02:52 PM

Will it also require a 256 meg video card with everything else maxed out?

I tell ya, I'm in one of the last stages of Doom 3, and I'm getting literally 2 (TWO) frames per second in some places! arghhhh..
So I've been pricing mother boards and athalon socket 939 chips and 6800 ultra parts lately... sucks to be too slow and I want to get ahead of the curve damnit..

I've had it on pre-order since Feb for when it was originally supposed to be out in April, I'm still waiting and waiting and waiting here, ha ha ha.

I stopped preordering games ever since it became incredibly popular with distributors to start taking preorders a year in advance...as soon as a game is in development now it's available for preorder and the distribution dates are always just a couple months off...but pushed back three or four (or more) times before before they finally release a half-assed version of something.

If you pre order from ebgames you get a free tshirt while supplies last. I'm not sure what vid card but I'm sure your going to need a new one.

I have the new Athlon Socket 939 CPU (FX-53) and it ROCKS !!! I was gonna get the ASUS board, but ended up with the ABIT because nobody had the ASUS in stock at that time.

I also picked up the ATI Radeon X800 XT PE card and it kicks ass. I can't wait for Half-Life 2 to come out and see how it blows away Nvidia since it was designed for ATI cards

Nvidia pretty much blew away ATI on Doom, I'm hoping that things will change in HL2.

the halflife 2 engine is alot better than the doom 3 one

this game will run fine on older machines

minimum specs = 1.4ghz and dx7 graphics card

chupachups · 08-10-2004, 03:06 PM

Thinking about it... Will it include any updated version of CounterStrike or?

pxxx · 08-10-2004, 03:09 PM

That game is hot, i didnt know that they got a part 2.

Sounds nice.. I was looking at an alienware system using the fx-53 (aurora I think they call it), or possibly getting the raw parts, or a barebone system.. Havent decided yet. I'll probably use ARS rewards for it, so I may not see it for quite some time anyway, lol.
I'm using a POS freebie system now, so it's no surprise I'm blazing away at a remarkable 2 frames per second. It's really not a "game" at that point, lol.

Thats cool. I havent upgraded in a long time though.. so if I'm going to think about a new system, it's gonna be an extra nice one I think.

Face (o_0) · 08-10-2004, 03:17 PM

yea i just upgraded about 4 months ago, i did a big mistake though, but a killer system and a shitty gfx card, im regretting that now, like in doom 3, my card is bottlenecking my system so it dont run as good as it should

im gona buy a new one at the end of this month looking into one that has that half life 2 deal

CAHEK · 08-10-2004, 03:19 PM
