According to Gamespot (can\'t be bothered to link, find it yourself :p) the rumor that HL2 has gone gold is true.
I guess we\'ll soon find out anyway.
Now what GFX card should I get... :)
-
:laughing: Meh ! I believe it when I see it installed on my HD.
As for the VGA card. If this game is the only thing you live for :D ;

Nah... I\'m too cheap for that. :)
Besides my PC isn\'t really high-end any more. I\'ll guess it\'s a match between:
1) ATI 9800 Pro/XT (cheap if bought used)
2) Geforce 6600 GT (seems like a good choice for the money)
3) Geforce 6800 (most expensive, but the fastest of the three)
I only got a Geforce 3 right now, so any of the above would be a great step up. :D

Well FINALLY.. Now lets hope Vivendo doesnt hold the game hostage for ever.
PLEASE release it this month, before San Andreas would be the best. After SA is released Im not sure I have time for other games. :)

Can you say... SWEET?
The collector\'s edition actually has a purpose other than art, look at all the crap that comes with it...
In addition to a limited edition DVD-ROM version of Half-Life 2, this Collector\'s Edition also includes:
* Counter-Strike: Source - The next generation of the #1 online action game
* Half-Life: Source - Digitally remastered version of the original acclaimed PC game
* Free Limited Edition T-shirt - Offered in men\'s size XL only
* Half-Life 2 Prima Book - Information on character backgrounds, the making of the game, and more than 100 pieces of artwork
Definitely getting the collector\'s edition.

Go the 6800, you won\'t look back.
-
You can find a 6800 brand new for $249, the BFG version I believe... which comes slightly overclocked.
:)
I\'m either getting that one or the LeadTek, cause it comes with a beast of a copper heatsink that also covers the RAM chips.. great for overclocking.

Now it really has gone gold. Street release date Nov. 16! WOOT
http://www.vugames.com/news_story.do?storyId=1963
-
Wait, doesn\'t that just mean it has been handed over from the developer to the manufacturer? What\'s the deal?
-
Gold means its ready to start shipping etc.
-
Since The Hurricane has trouble reading, I\'ll quote a bit for him here: :)
LOS ANGELES (October 18, 2004) – Vivendi Universal Games (VU Games) today announced that Half-Life® ,2, the sequel to one of the most critically acclaimed PC titles in gaming history, will ship to retail outlets around the world in November. The Company confirmed that Half-Life 2, developed by Valve Software, has gone gold with a planned retail street date of November 16, 2004.

I don\'t wanna be splitting hairs here, but Huricane is right. It\'s ready to start shipping when they\'ve manufactured all the media and put it in their boxes. It\'s not ready for shipping when they hand it over for copying - when it goes gold.
-
sigh, if its gold its ready for mass production. Then shipping if it makes you all that much more happy. Basically the game is ready.
-
yes I am happy now. :)

*shrugs shoulders and continues to play gorilla.bas game*

*kills GmanJoe for shrugging*
:gman:
-
Will be ordering the Collectors Edition, for the remastered Half-Life. :)
You know what, that sounds odd. I have heard of remastered cds, remastered DVD\'s, but remastered games?!?!? Oh well, sign me up!
-
gone gold mean: save to a media the lastest/final build of your software, and send it to production.
Manufacturer then take the "gold media" create severals masters, then dupe them.
and as for HL2.. i dont care. it\'s just another FPS.. with no innovation and better graphic... but its just another FPS..
-
I just pre-ordered the Collectors Edition, along with Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines.

Perhaps he had Phoenix summon connected to his Final Down materia?
I forgot, is it actually called Final Down?.. Oh well, you get the point!
-
Bobo, you disappoint me.
-
this is sad.

:mad: It seems the retail version of HL2 requires internet connection to be \'activated\'. I wanna play it on my best pc, which is for safety reasons, offline !

Hmm, that kinda sucks. I mean, some people are still offline or in a situation like yourself.

Either way the X box will be sold privately to raise some much need cash…and this should let me get a 9800 PRO or Half of the Money required for a 800XT…
p.s.
Gman....joking aside...are you or are you not getting HL2 ?
-
I\'ll probably get it. Just to see what all the hububs all about. I usually don\'t play FPS.
