brelfielfan Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 Is anyone else as not excited about HL2 as I am? I think that it's hyped up so much that it's going to be a letdown when it's finally released. I really do hope I'm wrong, I love a good FPS just like any other geek with blood flowing thru his veins, but I guess I just havnen't caught the HL2 excitement like everyone else.... I guess I'm just not expecting it to be spectacular and groundbreaking, and revolutionary like everyone is hyping it up to be.
FthrJACK Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 oh its going to be great, trust me on that. BUT, i think it will probably be a bit short, like Max payne was.. awesome game, but over too quick.we shall see!
SiMoNsAyS Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 i love this game! well i agree maybe it's going to short although exciting but for me the strongest point is the MultiPlayer so let's wait to CS...
Zilevoli Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 See the whole thing about games is not to get excited. I used to get excited and have that big let down, then I learned hey dont get excited ... It has worked so far, well except for those instances I forgot about the game I got excited about and probably lost out on a good game. Oh well saved some money
magicfly Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 short...oh no! i was so excited when i was playing call of duty, but it was too short...wonderful but short...i only hope it's a bit longer
FthrJACK Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 yes COD is another.. awesome game, but lasted me a whole 2 days or something.
brelfielfan Posted October 26, 2004 Author Posted October 26, 2004 yeah this is probably the main reason i'm not getting my hopes up. I don't want to be dissapointed. But I will admit....I got a AIW 9800 pro just incase it's cool
Phyridean Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 I think I'll have to get just to see how my video card takes it...seeing as how it's optimized for ati....
SiMoNsAyS Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 i doubt it takes more resources/hardware than d3 took. i can play d3 at 1024x768, high specs (without antialiasing)
Snoop Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 doom 3 is not a cpu hog though even CS:S is about 50% CPU and 50% GPU
Alanoll Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 the Doom 3 graphics engine is more intensive on my system then the Source engine is. I tried to equal the settings between the games, and the Doom 3 just runs my system into the ground. (mind you it's a laptop). CS:S I get on average 60-70 FPS which isn't that bad considering the GPU i have is a RADEON 9600 MOBILITY.
Mikeyo Posted October 31, 2004 Posted October 31, 2004 Well I say this much, my friend got to play test for his company and he had to change his pants.

zen0 Posted November 8, 2004 Posted November 8, 2004 I'm looking forward to HL2 but I'm looking forward more to what people might do with the engine over the next couple of years (in the same way as HL1 was a great game, then someone invented Counter Strike )
