    Nah. Print magazines (at least in the UK) are always released a couple of months before their "cover" date for some unknown reason... so the issues in the newsagents now will be for late May/early June...

        Magazines weren't supposed to say anything until the end of this month, and since issues are always dated a month ahead...
        All the info so far has been leaks, but Valve did send out e-mails to several HL related sites that they will be at E3.

        Hopefully they'll make a new TF mod, cause it wouldn't make sense to release HL2 and a TF2.

        Also maybe they'll have some of the graphic scaling technology they were talking about for TF2. Graphics get scaled to system resources and distance away from player, so it won't require the newest cards.

          If the what the article says is true.. i can play smoothly on my g400 cos Valve is not going for the fastest card availble but for the card that is being used the most to play CS which happens to be TNT2 hehe.. but i suppose a gf2 or gf4MX would be Valve's recommended setting minimum being TNT2 class card.

              there's been so much hype over it as of late, that I hope it isn't a dud like URII...

                There still aren't. But Newell did say "After we finish the announcement process for Half-Life 2, we will provide an update on Team Fortress 2."
                Whoohoo?

                    oh my god.

                    Heh, and it was just yesterday that I was saying, "You know, I haven't seen a game that makes me want to get a new video card in a long time."

                      On of the good things about HL was that it would run on anything...

                          WOW!

                          This looks very good.... I would like to hear some comments from Matrox on this game, like how does it work on Parhelia, can we use 16xFAA. Does anybody know if it will be based on OpenGL or DirectX? I read somewere that Half-Life 2 will be based on their own graphics engine.....

                            Half-Life was the best game ever made. Period. I think its sequel will be a major sales success, but I doubt it´ll be up to the original.
                            Unreal 2 anyone?

                              Agree on "HL is best game ever" at least for me.
