Since Half Life 2 is so cheap now, I bought myself a copy and tried it on my laptop.

Screenshot
















Not too shabby but I need to get more ram, I wonder how it will run BF2.

Where'd you get HL2 for cheap? How much?

Thanks.

CompUSA has it for $20.

I went to Bestbuy and pricematched, paid around $18 for it. I should've got the collectors edition though.

What are the rest of your specs? I'm very interested in the i6000d and this thread just increased my anticipation

^^^ Exactly what I was thinking... I am under the impression that those people who put the x300 down are those who MUST play their games with max AA/AF, since Allan is apparently getting really good framerates with Max settings.

I am curious, though, Could you possibly test out BF2? Either the Demo or Full-version would be good, as I don't think there is too much of a performance difference between the 2.

Thanks.

is this what you bought? I wanted to get cs:s but this says it comes with counter strike. Im new to half life. so what would i need to play source? it seems to be the most popular half life. and is there a counter strike in half life 2?
sorry for sounding like a n00b, but ive only had a machine capable of playing games for a month or so...

Nope, thats just a collection for the original Half Life, you'll need Half-Life 2. For some reason, its not showing up as $20, but $50, but thats what you need. Shop around for it, its on sale everywhere once in a while

It worked for me, also if you look more carefully the store name (CompUSA) is stated all over that ad.
