Those are some sweet looking screen shots. They kinda look like they are set in a futuristic time though. The street kinda looks like its in Europe somewhere too.

Has anyone picked up this months issue of PC Gamer. The Half Life 2 story is on the cover. I have not seen any screenshots from inside the pages of it though.

I hope they release it faster than Team Fortress 2. They had better not hype it up too much......

TF2 Bomb

No they won't give it too much hype. I read in an article how Valve knows how hype can kill a game before its even out. It does look futuristic, i can't wait!!

I don't understand, will TF2 have HL2 graphics? If not i'm not even going to bother playing it, I really wouldn't care. I remember seeing screen shots when they first started workin on it and they showed a spy hiding around a corner, the graphics looked better then the original HL... dunno...... nahhhhh, couldn't be

Yeah I have been stressing over the speed and power of my computer lately. I have been playing Xbox for quite a while now and there are some games that you can only get on the PC that I want. And some games just look better on PC. I need the best of both worlds so I think I'm going to have to suck it up and drop some money into the computer. Especially for all of these good looking games coming out soon.

No way , but then again I have never played any of the Doom series and the graphics are pretty sweet.

What system config that is AMD based and within a resonable price range, Do you guys think would be a good gamming setup for the next generation of Games (Doom 3 and Half Life 2)

Around a 2500+ AMD
1 GIG of Ram 3200 (200/400)
Maxtor 80 Gig HD
ABIT® KD7, Socket A, Via KT400 / VT8235 Chipsets
Sound card or Onboard 6 Channel?
ATI® Radeon™ 9700 Pro 128Mb DDR AGP TV-Out DVI
(OR)Asus® v9900/TD GeForce - FX 5800 w/128Mb DDR & 8X AGP

I guess what I'm asking is will a 2500+ be enough? And Should I go with an ATI card or Nvidia. I don't really care if it is top of the line. Affordability is an issue and anything is better than my P3 667 with a Geforce 2 GTS.

Thats definatly enough. Those HL2 pics were takin by a 2GHz G4. I don't know about high res on Doom 3 though, HL2 probably about 1024x768 or 1152x864. My system specs are the same, so hopefully

The same as my current spec or the same as the system that I'm looking to upgrade too?

Broadsword · Post by **Broadsword** » Wed May 14, 2003 11:04 pm

upgrade, i've got 2.26 @ 2.51 P4 , 512MB RDRAM, gigabyte 8ihxp mobo, 9700 pro, scsi

Rouse · Post by **Rouse** » Wed May 14, 2003 11:15 pm

Right on. I was about to say. We are both in trouble if your current spec was the same as mine.

How do you like your ATI (Drivers and all)? I have always bought Nvidia, but I think this upgrade (which is long over due) I'm going to go with ATI. 9700 or 9800 depending on the price at the time of my purchase. I was going to go with Raid but I figure whats the point with hard drives being as big as they are these days.

Broadsword · Post by **Broadsword** » Wed May 14, 2003 11:32 pm

I was disapointed with the 9700, but then the drivers got a little better and it turned out to be not that bad. If there was an NVIDIA card at the time that rivaled the 9700 I definatly would have went with it. If I were to be upgrading now i'd wait till the FX 5900 comes out, whenever that will be.

I don't see why more people aren't going with SCSI, I think they're just afraid of it. It's a little more expensive but its well worth it, i've got a 20GB 15k rpm, and a 40gb 7200 as back up. I just plugged the SCSI in the SCSI card and it worked... I was so surprised. I've never tried raid, but nothing beats SCSI. whatever, i'm still new to this PC crap, wait till someone else replies.

Doom3 looks much better

Broadsword · Post by **Broadsword** » Thu May 29, 2003 9:35 pm

graphics wise, no way is it going to beat HL2 in gameplay. I'd bet my life on that.

Bandit · Post by **Bandit** » Thu May 29, 2003 9:37 pm

Graphics are not everything in a game. I will take Half-Life and Counter-Strike over 99% of the FPS games out there right now. It is all about gameplay.
