Halflife 2

man look at those system reqs

| Recommended system requirements: |

| + Windows98/2000/Me/XP |

| + 2 GHz CPU |

| + 256 MB RAM |

| + DX9 compatible video card |

| + ~4 GB free hdd space |



did you even see the dx9 trailer for graphics?



and what's with the crappy ram req. you'd think they'd require more.

[Speed]

It does require more, but a Dx9 compatible video card (probably a decent 128mb card would be good) and 4 gigs of hard drive space kinda decreases the need for 512+ ram.

Uhm, it's been "confirmed" since the first post in this thread. That article says nothing that the other ones didn't.

You all have link for beta of it?

[Raybdbomb]

tsk tsk necro, tsk tsk

[Speed]

Isn't beta the public beta release? Not necessarily "public" - but still not illegal to distribute.

[Raybdbomb]

nope



it was leaked which makes it illegal to own, want to own, request to own, or even look at :P

[Speed]

Ah. Well, that's stupid.

Would that make a commerical copy able to be distributed legally by anyone? :) It's their property...



Now, from a coder standpoint, what exactly was in the source? Part of the physics engine? Sprite handling? Texture/Map handling? The multiplayer engine? Someone give me details...I'm too lazy to dig :)
