Right the minimum specs are a PIII 700Mhz with 128mb ram and a 16mb Graphics card. That's taken from this months PC Zone magazine. Read it if you don't believe me. The only trouble with playing it on a system with these specs is that you will lose a little bit of the shiny surfaces!

Actually the Minimum specs are alot lower than that! I'll find out exactly what they are and post them.

Those specs look pretty high.
The beauty of HL was that it ran on my old K6/2 300Mhz Voodoo3 combo perfectly. Well, that and the fact it was a great game, but you see my point. (Probably.)

Oh, Ok. Sometimes (but not always), change is good. What I hate in screenies is that they always take out the HUD and stuff, so it looks like a programmer screenie (where they can manipulate the camera angles to make it look better).

No, because you wouldn'tve seen what the gameplay is like. Personally, I can sod graphics for all I care - I'd rather have amazing gameplay. Might be my fault there - I think I got a little confused :|

How can you say it looks disappointing? Those graphics are amazing! And it's not fair to judge a game on graphics if you haven't played it :)
HL2 should rock. I'll be first in line to get that :)

Valve attempted to take over the domination on the on-line world that ID software had with Quake II. They did fairly well, but the MODS made a hell of a lot of difference. (CS and DoD to name a few) And the official addons, like OpForce and Blue Shift.
