Does anyone know the pretty good HL2-Mod Minerva: Metastasis 2?
I think the level design in this modification is even better than in the real HL2. :D

It's alright, but I wouldn't rate it as better than the valve maps. It maatches them, no argument there, but I don't think it surpasses them.

What bothers me though is that F.E.A.R still loads quicker/larger maps than HL2 does and its often got twice the visual detail. :wtf:
on what resolution and setting can i hope to play fear with this rig?

AthlonXP 2800+
512 megs of ram
FX5700 256 megs

medium 800x600 or a bit better? i dont care too much about resolution, anitaliasing or AF... so....

You should be fine, just make sure you force it to use DirectX 8 shaders as opposed to DX9. Don't push it too far or you'll find yourself stuttering at the most combat intensive moments - and you WILL die.

just a note, it looks absolutely GLORIOUS with HDR on.

Oh definitely. My Radeon 9800 could do quite well with the HDR shaders on. It really does look incredible. I'm curious to see how Cryteks new offering will fair now.

(Oh, and if you're looking to play FEAR I'd think about having at least 1GB of RAM. It'll make a nice difference in load times etc.)

:wtf: HL2, HL2:LC or HL2:E1 does not enable any HDR effects on my Radeon 9800XT but loads up some on my Radeon X850 Pro. X850 still won't compare to effects that are loaded if you have GeForce 6 or 7 series card.

HL2 doesn't have any HDR effects as far as I know - but HL2:E1 does. They seemed to load up with my R9800 but now I have a GeForce 7600GT and they definitely do.

Yeah, I am necroing this, sue me.

Anyways, in the vein of all the new media from Valve this week  (TF2 trailer, Portal trailer), well they released one last tidbit. Thats right ladies and gents, the Episode 2 trailer is hitting the web. Right now, it apears that only Gamevideos has it up, but give it time and I'm sure everyone and their grandma will have it.

Anyways, enjoy!

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Well, this trailer isn't 100% new. If you have Episode 1, and beat it all the way through wait until after the credits. There is a small trailer, and some of the footage (mainly Alyx falling and the Vort carrying her) has been reused in the new one. I imagine thats why it hasn't been put up on Steam yet.
