[Zips]

While the now deleted spoilers were partially false, they aren't going to stay in public sight.

The thing is, they were fake spoilers. At least the one was that you labled "true".

Uh I saw it, and you know... You can't make a statement one way or the other from the Ep2 preview. It's a teaser for a reason, it's not meant to show you what exactly happens.



For all you, or anyone else knows, she could just be unconcious, sleeping, or in some weird stasis state from the Vorts.

"This is a great loss to bear (or something like that) :/



And i must say, the game is VERY well optimised .. i was amazed by the high settings i could pull of on my X700PRO. The game looks a lot better than half-life 2 also.



Is it just me or did they improve the smg and pulse rifle. They seem more accurate, powerful, and have better range. The SMG sounds a little more manly as well.

Yeah, the game runs perfectly MAXED settings WITH HDR on full. Looks amazing compared to regular HL2.

I need some help here please, I'm thinking about buying an ATI 9800 video card, do you guys think it'll be enough to satisfy my HL2 needs?

Well, from interviews I read/watched, VALVe says one of the characters actually are taken out..That could be Dog, Barney..Anybody though..They could've even meant Breen though..



And the Vorts, near the end of the teaser, looked like they were trying to revive her...

Last I knew, you couldn't upgrade a videocard for a laptop...



Also, your RAM and CPU are quite low, you're near the very bottom of the min requirements there, at least for the RAM. You'll probably be able to get it running but don't expect a very visually pleasing experience.

[meowmeow]

Oops, I must've day dreamed about the laptop thing.



I meant a second PC with crappy qualities, but I figured if I just upgrade the video card to a 9800, will it help at all? I mean what's the FPS going to be like? 50? 40?



Anyone have a 9800 and playing HL2?

Zips dies at the end of Half-Life 2: Episode 2

[Mall-Security]

I have a 9800. I get about 50 fps with it.

[ZackMorris]

Seeing that game loading screen is about as close to the game as I will ever get - Too poor to afford $20 right now - lol
