Hi guys, Finished HL 2 and now finished Far Cry and was looking for something else, of similar quality and game play interest. Any suggestions for a HL2 recommended-spec PC? > Hi guys, > > Finished HL 2 and now finished Far Cry and was looking for something else, > of similar quality and game play interest. > > Any suggestions for a HL2 recommended-spec PC? Sin Emergence? Only bout 6hrs long but its cheap, intensive at times and good fun. FEAR? Much longer (more expensive), challenging gameplay and puts your PC to the graphics test? Quake4? Can be had a little cheaper now. Doom3 type graphics but the games more fun? Google those, look at a few reviews, see what you think. All of the above run well and look good on fairly high settings on a 2.8 Barton, 1.5GB RAM and an X800XT PE. > FEAR?

I fancy FEAR but wonder if my 2400+ XP and 9800 128 pro is a bit low spec to run it properly? Does FEAR use Steam? >> FEAR?

You wont get all the bells and whistles but it is pretty scalable without becoming ugly. Try the single player demo first... http://www.gamershell.com/download_10167.shtml > Does FEAR use Steam?

I got the game for the AI fun, and it definitely is up to par on that. I've played it through twice already, and I can't imagine how much prettier it'll be when I eventually upgrade. :-D Cheers, Acercanto >>> I fancy FEAR but wonder if my 2400+ XP and 9800 128 pro is a bit low >>> spec to [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Cheers, > Acercanto Also running a 9800 Pro 128, AMD 2800+ 1GB ram. Fear runs nicely with most things set high. Agreed - try F.E.A.R. The game, not the Ian Brown single. I'm running it on an Athlon XP2100+ o/c to 2400+ and a Radeon 9700 Pro. Seems fine - maybe I'll finish it this weekend. Failing that... Doom3 was OK, but frankly just too gratuitous for me. I head the latest Hitman is just a rerun of some of the earlier missions, right? With the godawful controls from Hitman:2? I've gone back to GTA:VC. Nearly finished it, then I'll probably wheel out GTA:SA. After that, maybe Black and White 2? I do fancy some FPS action though... > Agreed - try F.E.A.R. The game, not the Ian Brown single.

I think it's a decent tune by brown, better when you havn't heard it in a while. >>> Agreed - try F.E.A.R.

I think its the *only* decent tune by Brown.. normally I find his stuff pretty dull, whereas that is actually quite inventive.  SignatureBen Cottrell AKA Bench >>>> Agreed - try F.E.A.R.

I've actually felt a bit let down since the awesomeness that was "Golden Greats". I absolutely lurv both Stone Roses albums and that one. Haven't heard much off "Music of the Spheres", and the latest two are rather mediocre. Too bad, he's very talented when he puts his mind to it. > Quake4? Can be had a little cheaper now.

Hmm: Hitman: Blood Money Or try out some of the mods released for HL2 Check eg moddb.com or planethalflife.com for details - Peter SignatureProud owner off: 5 "I spent several gruelling hours on the internet with a cup of bovril for the sake of AGHL" points Hi!

Call of Duty 2. Multiplayer is real popular now that Punkbuster has been integrated into it. >Any suggestions for a HL2 recommended-spec PC? HL2: Episode 1, out next week. SignatureAndrew, contact via http://interpleb.googlepages.com Help make Usenet a better place: English is read downwards, please don't top post. Trim replies to quote only relevant text. Check groups.google.com before asking an obvious question. You should try out the "minerva" mod for HL2, its really good. The combine seem to be a lot tougher as well. > You should try out the "minerva" mod for HL2, its really good. The combine > seem to be a lot tougher as well.
