Yeah, that chopper looks cool.

That gun in the 2nd pic, it looks like an MP7-PDW.

Yah they're all way cool looking. I wonder if those skies are dynamic in any way?. I also notice some great fog effects. This probably helps with distance rendering problems too. Keeps you from seeing the engine drawing stuff as you approach it. I'm definitely grabbing the next gen vid-card ASAP!. Come on Nvidia! Wheres the 6800!!!!!!

If I cant enjoy this game on all high settings and get 60 fps +, I'm gonna be very unhappy!!!

Oooh that looks positively lovely that does Even easily mappable areas like that shown in screenshot 4 (ignoring the background!) turn out looking nice. Level design for this should be fun [addsig]

Although, the shadows are a bit funny in the 1st pic- the combine soldiers are casting them, but the trees/pole/buildings don't seem to be...

Thats happening in nearly all the pictures to some extent actually, particularly the indoor shot (number 3) where the soldiers have shadows but the fences don't. I'm going to assume static meshes have some option to allow them to cast shadows or not, since other ones (such as the crates in the last shot) are. [addsig]

That helicopter looks damn cool, and better than the flying walrus one that was in the videos. Here's hoping the delay lets them crank out tons of cool stuff.

That will be a combine helicopter, the walrus thing would have been an alien one probably (though there were combine soldiers around that scene...maybe I'm wrong). It looked too organic and alive to be combine, which come across as more technical. [addsig]

lol, the hl2 e3 videos were played on a 9800 m8, a 9600 will run hl2 for anyone on a budget though + its dx9 so you get all the features. [addsig]

I might need to have an upgrade over summer, and I'll certainly need to sort out this odd problem of not being able to install DX9 [addsig]

I know for sure it wont run on my vid card. Its a MX series and they dont have pixel shaders. AND... its in a PCI slot.

Well, maybe I'll get a job this summer and save some cash. The vid card is the only thing I really need now.

Anybody can give a ruff estimate to the game's system requirements?

And ReNo, I think most people here will need to upgrade for HL2.
