Whats the word on the HL2 demo?

[ShawnD1]

Will HL2 have a demo? If so, does anybody know when it will be released?

i seriously doubt they will.

It's too soon before the release of the game (November).

And they might not at all...many games nowdays release demo's AFTER the game is out

I haven't heard anything about a DEMO, but it will be cool to hear about it.

Any way the release date is 30/09/2003 , at least in the UK.

The expected release date was like 2 years ago. Don't worry enekomeg, they're not going to release it on the day you think they will.

I dind't know that one, I hope you are wrong and they don't delay it. Belive me, I love the first game, but it is kind of getting boring.

I can't wait to het my hands on it. It just seems to be very demanding, so I'm not sure if my graphics card will be able to take it.
The only minimal specs I found on a web site, I don't think they were realistic.
Windows PC
700 MHz processor
128 MB RAM
Direct 6.0 or higher compatible graphics card


Well I guess I just have a few more days to wait, or at least is what I hope.

Thanks for your comment

I would not like to think about running HL2 on that kind of PC...

I reckon 1Ghz or higher, 256mb, 64mb DX7/8 will be required for GOOD gameplay...

[enekomeg]

Thanx, that is what I though.

And since your are based in the UK... the official date of releese is the 30th of this month isn't it?

There is an offical Global release for HL2 on the 30th Sept and Valve are still saying it will be this date. I cant wait any longer.

in the meantime there is a HL2 side scroller soon to be released for free I believe, there are some media files for it on various site across the net, just do a search in google. It is called Codename: Gordon
