    Is anyone doing this? I just purchased it for the sole reason to Beta Test TF2 and I knew I’d end up buying it.

     

    6 Days!!!!

    I wonder what I should do with my extra copy of HL2 and Episode 1 now?

    will tf2 be available w/o the expensive orange box?

    #26848

    TF2 alone is like $30. The better deal is obviously to get the Orange Box and probably to just buy the actual game in stores, as it’ll come with multiple CD’s for the multiple games, and you can just save the CD Key for HL2, Ep1, etc in-case you lose HL2 or something.

    Does anyone know if I would be able to run TF2, even on lowest settings, with a laptop with this…

    Intel Pentium M Processor 2.00GHz

    Intel Graphic Media Accelerator 900

    ATI Mobility Radeon X300 64MB

    1GB of RAM

     

    I don’t know much about computers btw

    Probably be pushing your luck. It’s gonna be slightly more graphics intensive than CS:S.

    Valve says it is the most graphical intense Source game ever released.

    It only takes slightly more to be the most intensive.

    I meet the minimum with ease but the recommended kicks my *edited*, which should i go by?

    #26967

    What aren’t you up to par with? I’m guessing video card?

     

    If it is video card you have to look at a few things:

     

    A) How old is your PC?

    B ) Does your motherboard have PCIe or does it only have AGP?

    C) If it has AGP, you may need to look at a new motherboard which may ensue you getting new RAM as well as a new processor, which basically means you just getting a new computer. Many companies are not producing AGP video cards anymore but you can still find some few and far between. You’re mainly wanting to get a PCI-Express 16 card, in which you can buy something as simple as the 8800GTS for ~$300. If your motherboard has PCIe then I suggest the 8800GTS :).

    I tore down that bear last year….and believe me it is a bear, you think all you need to do is replace one thing, and then one thing leads to another and your pregnant, I mean you end up buying more than you meant to. :)

    Well I don’t know if this helps you at all, but my friend just upgraded his old gateway:

    p4 2.8, 1gb ddr, x800xl agp, 120gb ide hdd

    to

    athlon x2 4400+, foxconn am2 motherboard, 2gb ddr2, 8600gts pci-e, and 320gb sata hdd for ~$400 altogether.

    Might be somethng you want to consider to bring your computer into the 21st century 😀

    Most likely. We will probably have five servers sometime before the end of the year. cs1.6, css, tf2, quakewars,ut3.

    is it worth it?

     

    ya’ll think its a good call?

     

    don’t suppose i get an extra steam acoount?

    #27782

    Definitely worth it. 5 games for $50 is extremely worth it.

    Quake Wars is a terrible, horrible, disaster of a game. Hardly worth putting on our servers. I think our server resources would be better spent on a game like World in Conflict.

    Its an RTS, a revolutionary RTS, but still an RTS, and I don’t think we have the community for it yet…. Unfortunately
