who plays half-life 2

[sora's_soul125]

i want to chat with some people who play half life 2 online

 

[Manchester Black]

Waiting for it to come out on Xbox. My PC definately cannot handle it. Hell, my PC can barely Handle Morrowind and Thief.

 

[Mercury Rain]

My PC would explode if i would ever try to play Half Life 2...

 

[LordMune]

Half-Life 2 is not nearly as demanding as people think it is. If your computer can handle Morrowind on medium settings, it can handle HL2, you may even get a decent framerate. Won't be as pretty, though.

 

[sora's_soul125]

tx manchester black and you are right lord mune it doesn't require so much.
pluss you get a ton of free games to try

 

[::leonskey::]

im actualy saving up for Half-life 2, and will get it very soon,... my card can handel it, but no dynamic lighting, and medium framrate in the demo,.... so im not sure how it will sync up online, as i need to clear some ram in my D : // drive.


if you have haf-life one ill be happy to talk and face you in battle of mods?

 

[evil_kenshin]

well i don't play half life 2 online, but i play counter strike source online (which requires halflife 2 to run) also lord mune is right, while it may look like it does need a super computer, i can run half life 2 perfectly on full settings

 

[Square Ninja]

Mune is correct. Half-Life 2 was designed to run on lower-end PCs as well. Of course, the visuals will take a hit.

Anyway, I so dearly want to play Half-Life 2. Alas, my PC at home is almost archaic. The damn thing has trouble running Max Payne. Once I build my new computer, this will be the first software I'm going to purchase...aside from Windows, of course.

*sigh* So many wonderful days were spent picking off targets in Day of Defeat, Firearms, and Team Fortress Classic. I pine for the good old days before Steaming pile

My severe lack of RAM aside, I have a 900 MHz processor. I have a pretty much nonexistance Sound card, and a RIVA TNT2 Graphics card (Never heard of it? Never did I until I looked up drivers for it, which NVIDIA stopped making in 2000). I'm pretty sure my PC won't run Half Life 2. Wait until I finally get my new one, though...

 

[LordMune]

RIVA TNT2 Graphics card (Never heard of it?

I've heard of Riva TNT2. I've even owned one. A truly wonderful graphics card... in a 500MHz PC from god knows when.

...much like my GeForce Ti 4400 (I think) in my 866MHz PC from days of yore.

 

[::leonskey::]

i have a Nvidia Geforce 4 440.. i think......
i really need to free some ram space on my d drive tho,... and square ninja, do you still have the original half-life? ill play you on a mod vs or something.

 

[Square Ninja]

...and square ninja, do you still have the original half-life? ill play you on a mod vs or something.

I still have the original Half-Life, but I haven't played online since WON servers were shut down. I tried Steam, and it was a steaming pile. The whole thing was a huge mess. I couldn't even get the thing to work.

Hopefully Steam will be drastically improved by the time I get my new PC built and Half-Life 2. I want to play Day of Defeat again.

My computer's about 5 years old, and I don't even hardly remember the hardware... I remember distinctly that my video card was a nameless card (a Prosavage, it was called). I think it has about 800 mHz. Despite it being sluggish (processor-wise), I was able to run Diablo II with no problem. Then, for some reason that's still a mystery today, there was a giant crack in my play disc. I was extremely sorrowful. I might end up getting a Battle Chest. They're like, what, $35?

Yeah, back then, I only wished I could support other games.

 

[sora's_soul125]

::leonskey::
yeah ill take you up on it some time.

That was complete bullshit. I had the better hardware, yet Diablo II ran like a tortoise with a limp on my PC. I could run Quake flawlessly, but Diablo II would be reduced to a slideshow when enough enemies were onscreen.

 

[mz. eggsy]

I don't quite understand that, either. At least we had some good times while playing it. It was fun, but I don't think I had a better time than with Dragonslare. (laughs)

 

[::leonskey::]

@ square ninja.: oh, well when you get your new computer, and if you can get steam working, ill play ya sometime.
(i could never get WON working for me, by the way.)


@sora's_soul125:

pme me.
name a time,
name a place
name a mod,
and you got yourself a game.

 

[Square Ninja]

(i could never get WON working for me, by the way.)

That's because WON has been taken down.

 

[LordMune]

Which is a pity. I never got to play Arcanum online, as it was WON-based.

... or was that Nox?
