I've hoenstly just stopped thinking about HL2 - stopped posting in the forums and really only come to check on the "info from Valve" thread.
Its helped me deal with the lack of HL2 increadibly well. I fear I may be getting too excited and getting my hopes up again .. rofl :P
Anyway, the...
No. It will be a horrible, horrible experiance. Even on the lowest quality settings.
My advice; buy a brand new system. At least 3 ghz with a gig of ram and a radeon 9800 pro - oh, and broadband - at least a T1 line.

I found that sometimes in the beta version of Steam, my version of CS would just sit there saying "getting ready to launch", even though I had originaly downloaded all the files.
At that point, I'd just simply delete the CS cached files and then re-download them. That always seemed to work fine.
Steam, does not suck.
Halflife 2 will include Steam. Steam was thought up with Halflife 2 in mind.
What your experiencing now are reffured to as "bugs".
They will be fixed.
sure, but they can't expect people to have intenet access 100% of the time to play SP. Thats just stupid.
I guess we'll all find out soon enough though :p
you know, I have no idea - its something that Valve will deffinatly have to figure out.
However, I honestly can't see them making a requirement you be online to play single player. It's limiting their market too much - the oposite of what a business wants to do ...
I'm putting my money on chached files. You need Steam anyway - its a part of HL2, you cant have HL2 and not have steam. I see no issues with having them as a chached file.
Question;
Is knowing that HL2 has been delayed going to make it any better?
My point is, so the **** what if it is delayed - its not like theres something you can do about it. So, sit back, take a god damn chill pill and dont think about it.
I havn't thought about HL2 being released on...
dscowboy isnt one to start rummors ... lol
hes just pointing out that Valve are the ones saying it will be released the 30th - Sierra on the other hand, have doubts - obviously - and are telling the retailers to push the dates back.
your quote should have read like;
I hope to god TF2 is nothing like TFC.
TFC isn't even that close to TF anymore. smilez hit the nail on the head.
Personaly, I want it more realistically based, more tactical but with the different class systems in place, ala TF.
If anyone has been following any kind of progress on...
eh, I wasn't pissy .. sorry if it came off that way .. rofl
I just ... find it increadibly hard to believe that you think Valve would let you have HL2 for $9.95 ...
