no, it's the same as the original HL, open mod sdk, and assloads of mods on the way, and the multiplayer part this time is Counter Strike, running on the new engine, which was released a few weeks earlier. Most older mods are starting to switch to the new engine too, so there will probably be hundreds of games in a year or so.

Doom3 is utter shit compared to it. I have a PC that can run both at the highest settings possible, and graphically, HL2 blows Doom3 out of the water. Conceptually and gameplay-wise, Doom3 is just a piece of junk compared to HL2. Doom3 was a neat engine with a crappy game to show it off. HL2 is a piece of art in every aspect.

Forget it on PS2, you need a very good PC to appreciate all the beauty of those graphics

Buy it man.... you'll loose precious time trying to fond it on P2P, i think its 4 CD's ... AND be sure the P2P networks are going to be filled up with files Half-Life2_FULL.exe (5gb) and when you will unzip it you will get Half-Life 1 or a super big porn movie or Age Of Empire 2.
So take your car, go buy it. you will be playing in 30min that way.

thx, I believe 8saw the trailer] but I'm avoiding it like 'teh plague'.
I will not get any work done if I start playing it...
Regarding your file size comment I'm pretty sure there's a DVD edition.

hmph.
just finished it.
everything was going fantastically... and then it just ended, and I'm like 'what the fuck'? .. I'm a little confused... is it being relased in stages? did the budget suddenly run out? am i missing something?
i don't know what to do with myself now. it's over. half life 3 is ages away... there's nothing left in my life.

dunno for the DVD but it change nothing for the P2P

Benfal, what's your setup?
I turned on the fps monitor. i get 100 fps in the beginning of the game but at the part when you're in the trainyard it can drop to 4 fps all of a sudden and it get choppy for no apparent reason.
i've got:
athlonxp 3200+
1gig ram
ati 9800pro oc'd to core 400, mem 700

GAME IS INSANE! That gravity gun will blow your mind. A whole new 1st person gaming experience where you use almost everything in your enviroment to cause mayhem and survive. It really makes you think twice on what's the best way to get out of a pickle. And never a dull moment. Bow down halo2!

can't wait to get home... waaah... it's waiting for me there.
I've been playing CS Source for the past couple of weeks though, and it runs beautifully at highest settings on this:2.8Ghz P4, 768MB ram, Radeon 9800Pro 128MB.

If i want to re-install later i just need to redownload it.

I agree, the look of the levels in Doom 3 became repetative very quickly. That aspect alone made the game very dissapointing. Virtually every room looked the exact same.

The only thing I truly hate about macs is not being able to play Half-life 2 (and Counter-strike).
I wanna buy a new pc with half-life 2... RIGHT NOW!
