OK, already having an issue.
System specs, dell xps 3.4 ghz, 1 gig ram, x800xt graphics card (best one as of now)
I updated my drivers, now when i polay HL2, it gets to a bluirry screen and says "loading", but it stops. The computer dosent even rumble or anything so i doubt it's even processing anything...what gives !

Well, here's hoping it'll run on my laptop. Yes, I can hear the naysayers now...But, the machine is not half-bad as it does have a 128-ATI 9700 video card and a 2GHz processor. 
Otherwise, it's upgrade city for my PC.

Yeah, everything so far has been awesome for me 
Lovin the game! BTW, for those of you with ATI cards - get the new 4.12 beta drivers - good boost in fps to be had with them! I gained approx 10fps from the 4.10s!

^ neither, but a new video card and play it.
I'm finally quitting to go study for an exam I have tomorrow
I got stuck in that room with all the pipes when you are still trying to get to the one dude's lab through all the tunnels and shit...anyone got any hints?
I filled the room by opening the valve, now what?

Half-Life Source is out now - I have it loaded and installed on my PC 
Just DOD Source isnt ready yet...
The Screens are 1600x1200 4xAA 16xAF, everything HIGH. Runs pretty smooth even cranked like that, but I do get a studder every now and then. Biggest thing is not having the Vsync on, since I have and LCD the refresh rate is locked and would lock my fps...

omg after playing 20 mins of Half-Life 2 i felt like vomiting. I think I need to get adjusted to the game before this shit goes away. initial impressions are this shit is gorgeous (1280x1024 w/ 4xAA/8xAF everything maxed) I could go higher but my LCDs native is 1280x1024. Samsung 710T 12ms DVI-D biatch =D

wow, this is the first game ive bought since the first half-life and its certainly worth it. I was afraid I would need to upgrade my PC, but its running great at 1280x960 with 2xAA/2xAF. My PC is just a mildly OC'd 9700non pro and a 2.1GHz Barton so I was fairly suprised. graphics and physics are great, but so is the sound. very good surround sound and the explosions/gunshots have just the right amount of bass to make my sub kick without having too much "drone" (on a klipsch 5.1 using nvidia sound storm). and yes the gravity gun kicks ass

If i have a chioce between Doom 3 or HL2, i'd take HL2, the storyline is way better, alot more interaction, then just blowing up stuff.
The Physics of the game are amazing, pity there is no HL-2 MP
I'm about 30% through the game.
I read today that there is going to be a HL3. I just hope it does not take another 6years
