I may do. At least my computer could run it with everything maxed. :) I think I saw some package deal including every single addon for around £10.
FWB, please, tell me you won't buy Vietcong then...buy HL Already ordered the former, so too late. :) The reason I opted out is because I was under the strong impression it was a basic shooter (no matter how good the storyline and scripts are). I'd had by full share of that.

For me, the best things in HL were a) the AI, which is still unrivalled (maybe Halo was equally good, don't know), and b) the overall design, including the slickest HUD ever, music, menu, just everything.

P3 700 with a TNT2
Yeah, right ! Pull the other one ! lol. Now seriously, with a well-built and clean system, you can achieve quite a lot. You'd laugh if I told you how long I played games on my old PII 266. Even some games where I was well below the mimimum requirements ran remarkably well, including NOLF, Max Payne etc. |

It looks a bit like a mixture between War of the Worlds and Starship Troopers.
The question remains: will I want to upgrade? |

I haven't unpgraded since the first Half-Life (and that's when I bought my first PC), save some memory, a HD, and a Geforce I got for free.
But don't worry, I probably won't upgrade anyway. |

I wonder if you can do a Thunderchild versus Warmachine battle in the game with all those boats in it it would be a missed oppurtunity if something similar didn't happen. Hopefully with better results of course! FWB you must buy HL, even now the game stands up extremely well if it does look a bit creaky obviously. |

HMMMMMMM....
I'm getting deja-vu, or it could be that curry i ate last night, either way its a bit like unreal2 where everyone went ballistic over the shots sayin' it was goin be the dogs knackers, and look how that pile of drivell turned out. So i say poo to valve, the proof is in the pudding or the rogan josh, whatever tickles your fancy. |

You could almost tell that U2 was going to turn out dodgy with the fact that every set of screenshots had a least a couple showing off the bint's cleavage. The female NPC in this actually looks normal!
No mention of the game's very existence, although it was obviously going to turn up sometime, until 5 months before it's on the shelves makes this very different to the bloody stupid levels of hype that Unreal 2 got. |

Problem is, we now get 5 years worth of hype compressed into 5 months. This could get messy. |

That first shot is new to me, shame it's so small though.
Must say, of all the upcoming FPA titles this is the one I like the looks best of. Not to say that HL2 looks objectively 'better' than DooM III or S.T.A.L.K.E.R., but it has a visual style that I find accessible and easy to warm up to. Can't wait for E3. |
