Half Life 2 system requirements revealed!

Via Eurogamer via Neowin.net:

But for those who want to see the game running in all its glory, be prepared to spec up to around a 2.4 GHz machine, with 512MB RAM, Windows 2000/XP and a DirectX 9 capable graphics card.

2.4 GHz machine - check
512MB RAM - check
Windows 2000/XP - Duh!
DirectX 9 capable graphics card - check

Looks like I don’t have to upgrade (again) for Half Life 2.

Man, could you believe I actually posted a blog entry on the specifications of a computer game? But then again, we’re talking about Half Life 2 here guys.

Thats cool…

Athlon 2500XP: check (I hope)
1gb memory: check
Windows 2000: check
DX9 Enabled Graphics: check (Probably upgrade anyhow as I have the lowest end one available)

Hah! Yes, you may have that all but honestly that’s more like the minimum requirements. Probably have to run at 800*600 if you have a low ends DX9 card. Even with a 9600 Pro.

I have to run ut2004 at 800×600 unless I overclock the card to near death.

How much did they change from the leak to production?

I can run the HL2 leak pretty good at 800×600:
Athlon 1.4 (FAIL)
512MB (check)
WindowsXP (Duh ;) )
Geforce2 GTS (Big FAIL)

The Wolf: OUCH - I can run UT2004 at 1024×768 with only minor glitches (same ones I get @ 800×600) - Maybe you should look at system config issues ;)

My machine is so far from those specifications that not even with massive upgrades I might be getting there.
Perhaps it is time to invest in a new rig.

Same here, my computer occasionally gets sluggish with half-life 1. ive had this computer for years i tell u. ive upgraded a bit over the years but i think enough is enough. time to sell the old dog and invest in a new one. look at these specs:

Pentium III - 755mhz (GIGANTIC FAILED)
192 mb Memory (FAILED)
Windows 98 (Most Likely FAILED)
Ati RAGE 128 - Hehehe, direct x 6/7 days(HUGE FAIL)

i have a p4 1.3 ghz 128mb rd ram and GeforceFx5200 256mb 250/400 overcloked to 300/500 with stock cooling, and i can play ut2004 @ 1280×1024 all maxed settings with 2x anti alisasing and host a server with 30 people and myself palying , and without trillinear filtering i get no lag whatsoever..
if my crapy computer can play ut that well, than i cant wait to get my 3 ghz p4 HT 1mb cache and install my 512mb ram, but for now i hope my curent rig can run half life 2 leak, which will be finished in about 5 minutes.
btw i also run Farcry at some low/some medium settings at 1024×768 with high anti aliasing and get 22-40 fps outside and 50-85 fps inside.

How about running UT2004 at 1920×1440 resolution with all settings set to high still getting around 40-50 fps. sounds great but image quality looks same as 16×12.

You guys need to build new PC really fast. and all of you need to get laid too!!

it has pros and cons….especially graphics card :(

Athalon XP2000 (about 1.8ghz me thinks)
768mb 333 Mhz ram
Gforce FX5600

The card is low-end DX9 …so i might juss run the game using the DX8 shaders…..Thing is 5600 was designed for dx9 shaders …so if i wanna play with DX8 shaders…i would get better performance with an old Gforce4 4600 (which you can get for like $40)..major bummer

Well,
i have to say that HL2 is the most anticipated game of my LIFE. i’m not taking any chances.
current system:
AMD XP 2600+ - runs at 1.93ghz
1gb 333mhz ram (512*2 sticks)
128mb, 128bit ATI radeon 9200
Win XP pro
replacement cost for above spec - $1095 (aus)

NEW COMPUTER (when i get it)
P4 2.8 ghz
1gb 400mhz ram (512*2 sticks)
256mb, 256bit ATI radeon 9600 (i think, maybe pro)
120GB HD
6.1 surround sound card
6.1 surround speakers
wireless mouse and keyboard.
19″ monitor

cost, about $1600 (aus)
maybe more.

it’s gonna be AWESOME. i can lie in bed and play it without using extensions for the keyboard.

i’ll hear water dripping behind my right shoulder.

Don’t waste time just making the specs, THRASH THEM.
YOU ONLY GET TO PLAY HL2 FOR THE FIRST TIME ONCE.

take my advice, and take HL2 to the MAX.

Hello
I have a P4 2.41 GHz(can overclock to 3.2 GHz)
768mb system ram
Gigabyte ATI 9200 64mb
2x 40GB Hdd’s
Windows XP Pro

You won’t believe me but
it runs UT2004 at 110 FPS on 1024×768 and all the settings on full,
and it runs Farcry +- 60FPS on 1024×768 with all the settings on full,

Do you guys think it will run HL2 and how many FPS ??
Please tell me what you think and send it to gman_204@hotmail.com

Thanks

I had one of them and I couldent even run farcry at 800×600 medium (it was just playable) my specs are:
P4 2.4ghz
512DDR RAM (Only 266mhz :@)
60GB Harddrive
ATI GeXcube 128MB DDR 9600xt, clocked at 500/600 (cant remember whats what)

I have a coppermine @ 733 overclockable to 800+ so BIG pass on the minimum specs there.
I have 192 MB or PC 100 RAM so I’m way over the hill there
And I got a Kyro Hercules 32 MB graphics card, looks like I’m on par…
I’m gonna buy this game to give me the incentive to purchase a fucking ripper of a box, might even try building one myself, anyone got ideas for a box that will run HL2 beautifully, I don’t need a hard drive or case but everything else has to go.

P4 2.8 ghz
512 mb ram
Nvidia Geforce FX 5700

hopefully i can run it with everything more or less cranked up. I heard about a month ago about problems they were having running the game on the nvidia FX cards. The article i read said that the frame rate dropped down extremely low, but i guess obviously they have fixed these problems.

Well i was reading over the post and i cant seem to find 1 person helping anyone out just another perosn asks a question and another question:P so here is my 2 cents hoping someone might give theres
From my experince i saw the game at my friends house so anyone Runing a ATI 9600 pro card a AMD XP CPU (not Barton) and 512 ram are not going to have perfectly smooth frame rates im guessing from what i saw 20-60 :P

for a start, you havent got enough RAM, it may say 256mb on the back of the box, but your’re only gonna have about 128mb free for running games, also, your onboard graphics aren’t doing you any favours.

(Sorry for degrading comment)

Oh btw i upgraded to an X800 Pro and it runs 56.8 fps on video stress test

I’ve got Pentium III 1.1GHz, PC-100 SDRAM 192MB, 80GB 7200/8Mb, GeForce FX 5200 128/64 bit PCI (I have no AGP ports). My PC is too old….I know….but I hope that it will work at least on minimum/medium settings.

And I would like to say that asking someone if it’s gonna work on P4 with 1GB RAM is stupid !. People stop showing off !.
