I didn't see another topic about it so i posted it here... might be old news to all of you but i don't know. :P
It's a skeleton based on the Half-life 2 Havok physics engine, you can pick it up (manipulator style), throw it around, shoot...
the only manufacturers i know of that are good are AlienWare systems (www.alienware.com). Although they're expensive, you get a very nice case and always top-of-the-line hardware. And you can customize everything exactly the way you want it.
the 256mb 9800pro is indeed more expensive but that's not the one you should buy. :P
That 128mb Geforce FX 5900 isn't an ultra, that's why it's cheaper then the 9800 PRO 128mb
Nvidia made a stupid move not (yet) selling a 128mb FX5900Ultra, i really don't get that.
Maybe they'll include a bonus cd/dvd with some half-life2 mods.... there are a few developers who got the SDK very early on right? maybe that's it... we won't know until the release anyway but it's fun to speculate :D
[Interl@ce hopes for a snowball mod :bounce: ]
I didn't know twin WAN routers existed :D so cool!
So let's say i hook up my 80kb/s DSL connection to it, and my neighbour's 150kb/s cable connection, i get a total of 230kb/s download max and 30kb/s upload :D that's kinda cool!
And hey... i get HL2 for free :P And that extra bandwith...
my guess is it'll be the same as HL1, only with more features (which we won't know until it's release) :P
Half-life DM was amazing, i had tons of fun and after 5 years it's the only mp game that i keep playing once in a while :D
Just the pure DM of half-life1 with added detail and...
-I'll pick up my game a day before release :P
-then i'll install it, with a sarcasmic grin on my face because i'm the first in my area to have hl2
-I'll be having an adrenalin rush all the way through my HL2 marathon
-When i beat the game, i'll fall asleep, after all those gallons of cola and...
why do all spongebob-avatar people either use/write things with the word 'gay' in it, or are mistaken for women? :D:D:D
But ehrm back ontopic: Valve won't release a MP test demo, because they hired playtesters for that.
And also to prevent people from discovering all new weapons and such...
it's all about demo playback... in the actual game these problems won't exist. btw... isn't there ANOTHER thread for this already, you spamming post-gathering bunch of chocolate-and-vanilla-fudge-eaters? :P
i don't think a TNT or Geforce256 (geforce 1) will have the power to render it, although valve claims it should run but.... you'd be very dissapointed.
I think the minimum is a geforce2Ti, geforce2GTS or a Geforce4MX440. That sounds more reasonable to me.
hmmm... evil is at work here. That's why i'll never install steam :P
Before you know it, valve has control over all computers that have steam installed, using the processor power of millions of gamers systems to hack into the defense dept's supercomputers, launching nukes all over the world...
