Oh...My...God.
I bought this game a few hours ago, watched the file download feverishly...hoping it could run on my laptop. I figured if HL2 could, so could this.
Well, I run HL2 at a pretty high resolution, with some graphics settings on medium, and even on large maps I get a pretty smooth fps rate.
Here it was unplayable until I lowered it to the lowest resolution. Now it's ok, but I'd be happy with a few more frames per second...Sometimes I can almost count them, when the area is loaded with objects, especially energy balls.
Now, as for the game itself, I freakin' love it, and can't wait to get my desktop back so I can run it on there. I played levels 1 through 19 straight from the moment it finished downloading and installing, and the feel of the game is awesome.. You catch yourself with a grin, because it's funny, but the voice makes you feel uncomfortable at the same time...all mixed with a feeling of claustrophobia.
Very cool. I guess we'll see next if this PC can handle Ep.2 (which I really hope it can) and TF2(which I think it can't).
