Half-Life 2 to be bundled with ATi Radeon 9900 Pro?

10% of all proceeds from purchases of ATI boards will go towards the "You can make Gabe rich!" fund.

im guessin a little over $500...just a thought lol

btw, is there any official word on whether HL2 will be bundled with the 9900? or is this thread all speculation?


links?

I skipped to the end of this thread BTW.

Here is more on the ATI+HL2 bundle
9900pro is going to be named 9800XT btw.

But what I want to know is...What version is this HL2 going to be?
SP only?
SP+MP?

IF its SP+MP, I will buy this bundle. I like the idea of getting a top end card you know will play everything and a top end game free

If its only SP ill settle for 9800pro/5900Ultra (will be lowered in price from the release of this new card of course) and HL2 SP+MP version.

 

[festivalman]

the only time I can remember when a graphics board maker bundled the full version of a game was when the game was already 1-2 years old. otherwise it's always some lite edition which I'm sure this will be too. they probably came up with these cheap versions of HL specifically to help the OEM market.

 

[dawdler]

Good point. The SP version is an excellent stripped down version to be shipped with a graphics card... Most likely it is that instead of the MP version.

 

[Immacolata]

It seems so obvious that the game bundled will be the "small" version. Cheaper for ATi, not hurting Sierra's eventual sales for the MP crowds.

I hope Im wrong however. IT would be so cheesy that the people willing to spend up towards $500 on a vid card would at the same time NOT want to play online. So I sure hope Im mistaken.

 

[festivalman]

Never underestimate the power of cheese.

 

[ferd]

i would wait a while to buy my gfx card...wait untill the next gen cards, then you will be able to play HL2 at 60-70 fps

 

[Blud Stane]

what the hell is this "sp or sp+mp" thing?! Why would anyone NOT want multiplayer? The AI is smart enough for bots and otherwise HL1 was both so why divide it into packages

This thread should be changed to "Radeon 9800-XT' now.
