Hehe - well please try and believe my answer here; What I really want to mediate here is the tremendous graphics from the Half-Life 2 engine. I have been gaming my entire life and I am just stunned with the visual quality this game presents ! Besides, I did not create, build nor invent the...

First, let me start by once again compliment the Source engine for the awesome graphics it produces whilst keeping the framerate up at an incredible level ! Truly amazing work by Valve ! These three screens below are taken with the following settings: Resolution: 1600 x 1200 Visual...

Yeah, it sure feels a little awkward that the wait for the game is over. There is a special feeling visiting and interacting on a forum each and every day, waiting alongside thousands of others who are sharing your own hype and anticipation. People gathering every ounce of news and...

Thanks for the tip Jungle. Yeah, sounds like the best solution would be to figure out the switch to enable 7.1 audio and then save it in the autoexec. I'll have to keep my eyes open for it...

I have a slight problem with my H-L 2 configuration. The game doesn't seem to "remember" my preference to play with 7.1 channel audio. Everytime I quit H-L 2 and start it back up again, I have to re-enable 7.1 audio - it goes back to 2 Spkr Stereo on every restart. How can I fix this, and why...

Not that I've found much problems with H-L2, but this crosshair thing imposes a slight "malpreciation" for me too. (Had the same problem with H-L.) The ability to change color, size and form of the crosshair would eliminate this minorly annoying issue. (Any mods anyone ??)

The game defaulted my settings to everything on highest (except for waterreflection (4xAA, 8xAnisf), however, I upped water to reflect all, upped AA to 6 and Anisf to 16, 7.1 surround and 1600 x 1200. Game runs at ~80 - +100 fps average and sometime dips down to around 70 fps when lots of...

EXACTLY ! That is exactly how it is for me too. (I have a Soundblaster Audigy 2 zs with pretty fresh drivers and I certainly meet the reqs.) I just soooo want a sound when a new clip is loaded !

I just want to know if I'm missing a sound when I'm reloading my 9 mm. You see, at least in the original CounterStrike and CS: CZ, you can very well hear when you insert a new magazine into the gun. But in Half-Life 2, when I reaload the 9 mm, I don't hear any specific sound as the magazine...

I haven't had any opportunity to check this by myself yet. Is there anyone who knows this; A door with a standard push-down handle, would it actually be possible to block the door by placing a barrel or wooden box or something right beneath the handle so it can't be pushed down. Would this...

This sucks soo much. I've been jumping between this forum and the swedish Half-Life2.se, enjoying the countdown with everybody, modding around at the swedish forum, made a quick newspost as the game was unlocked - and now e-body is gone. They've all left, each with their "Happy Playing" wishes...

You sit down at your comp. You put the H-L 2 DVD in the DVD-Rom. Few seconds passes before the autostart menu appears. "INSTALL" - *Click* You sit there in amazement, watching the percentage-bar slowly expanding towards the right. Your stomach is aching of anticipation, your feet are jumping...

Forgive me for waking up this thread again. I just saw this video and it sure woke up all my hype for H-L 2 (if only tuesday could be here already !!). However, there's one clip in this video which comes from a video I haven't seen before. It's the part where he walks up this wooden board to...

I'm actually not that fond of playing leaked or hacked stuff and if I only had a confirmed releasedate for H-L 2, I wouldn't play it. But now, since the wait has been so long and they still aren't able to tell us whether there's a couple of weeks, months or years left - well, that starts to get...

The "Wolf died from poisoning" part - I made that up myself actually. ;)

Hey - why don't you tell the WHOLE story at once ??? Here we go; The boy quickly realized that no one was going to come and aid him in the defence of the flock and ran back to where he'd seen the wolf appear. Upon arrival five minutes later all he saw was a bloodbath with pices of torn-off...

ATI Radeon X800 XT PE If the game doesn't run smooth, the game ain't finished !

I'll be playing both H-L 2 and Doom 3 in 6 x FSAA, 16 x ANISF, with maximum possible details @ 1600 x 1200 ! Check the sig.

=) I'm not arguing about Radeon or Nvidia for Half-Life 2. It just said "Half-Life 2 Preferred Graphics" on the box. I'm not saying that Nvidia's will show black and white picture with blocky characters. / The t7700 kicks some serious behinds ! They are great for maximizing the experience of...

To answer your direct question "What is the best video card for half life 2?" I would have to say the ATI Radeon X800XT PE. It says on the box; Half-Life 2 PREFERRED GRAPHICS
