1998. Half-Life sends a shock through the game industry with its combination of pounding action and continuous, immersive storytelling. Valve's debut title wins more than 50 game-of-the-year awards on its way to being named "Best PC Game Ever" by PC Gamer.
NOW. By taking the suspense, challenge and visceral charge of the original, and adding startling new realism and responsiveness, Half-Life 2 opens the door to a world where the player's presence affects everything around him, from the physical environment to the behaviors, and even emotions, of both friends and enemies.
The player again picks up the crowbar of research scientist Gordon Freeman, who finds himself on an alien-infested Earth being picked to the bone, its resources depleted, its populace dwindling. Freeman is thrust into the unenviable role of rescuing the world from the wrong he unleashed back at Black Mesa. And a lot of people he cares about are counting on him.

PC Specs
Can I run ?
PC Specs
lol its half life 2 ofc you can run
PC Specs
I voted yes because...I run in weaker CPU and the same GPU in 4k 60FPS in maximum settings.
PC Specs
Can I run ?
PC Specs
Very easily. If I can get it running very well on a Core 2 Duo E7300 and GMA 3100 system, then yours will do well too.
PC Specs
Can I run half-life 2?
PC Specs
maybe not 1080p maybe 720p
PC Specs
It should be able to, just make sure you dont push the hardware to its limit otherwise you'll get fps drops.
PC Specs
Other than a few drops when there are a lot of barrels explding at once, this is a very consistent 60FPS for me on maxed out settings with a mediocre laptop. This should run a basically anything.
PC Specs
Can I run Half-Life 2?
PC Specs
Of course. ;)
Even 10-year-old GMA 950 can run it really well.
PC Specs
I see no issues with this, you'll run it smoothly.
PC Specs
one of the greatest fps of the world Freeman rocks
PC Specs
For some reason all Source games lag to me. Any other works fine. Solutions?
PC Specs
Try turning off AA. I used to have the same problem.
PC Specs
All the system requirements is passed but why there is an ERROR, maybe because My windows is 32-bit?
PC Specs
Good luck getting above 5fps with that gpu. You must be a sad man.
PC Specs
My childhood, still think best game, and waiting final part of greatest franchise! Lord Gaben, when?
PC Specs
Legendary game
PC Specs
indeed.
PC Specs
Why does everyone keep asking if they can run it in the comments? JUST ****ING CHECK! That's why that thing where you enter your computer specs is there.
PC Specs
Sometimes the requirements given by devs are higher than what's actually needed to play or in some cases, lower
PC Specs
Exactly.
PC Specs
Settings and fps pls
PC Specs
Min settings, 800x600p 12fps.
Really though you can Max everything at 60+fps
PC Specs
My laptop vs The Divison in a nutshell
PC Specs
Guys, can i run it properly on my laptop? P9500 2.53 6MB, 4GB RAM ... this is fine, but my GPU is GMA 4500HD. I hope i can run it on medium, possibly on 1440 x 900.
PC Specs
If you have a similar rig like me you can run the game on ultra (4MSAA & 16 antrosophic)
on about 300 fps
But i think this comment was bloody useless :D
PC Specs
Hi my rig is very similar, I am downloading HL2 right now I will get back to you, although I doubt 300 fps lol
PC Specs
too my own surprise yes i got 300 fps lol, highest settings(AA and all), at 1080p 300 fps.
PC Specs
Can i run it?
PC Specs
You should be able to, your GPU however is a big bottleneck here, if you had a better one then you could run this at max settings easily. Currently you should set it at medium-high settings to get a good framereate.
PC Specs
One of the best games ever made. It was so before it's time. I remember when it came out, i could not belive the graphics, back then it was so real and the story was awesome. I hope they make HL3.
PC Specs
can i run it low with 1fps at 1x1p?
PC Specs
lol
PC Specs
No you can't, sorry.
PC Specs
I think your phone can run this game at high no aa...
PC Specs
Just curious how many FPS will i get on this game? :)
PC Specs
More than you would ever possibly need.
PC Specs
Translation: Above 300 fps.
