I'd say if your PC can run CSS well, it shouldn't struggle too much with TF2, if at all.

Neoni · 16 Sep 2007 at 17:28

BLR even exist any more? I doubt highly I'll have any time once uni starts, as I've not really been gaming at all lately, and will probably not do so until I'm close to graduating!

Not yet. Probably a lot close to the final Episode 2 / TF2 / Portal release date, if not after.

Totality · 16 Sep 2007 at 21:26

Ahh OK. So is the Oct 10th date for the seperate Ep 2 release? Someone above mentions the orange box is out tmrw but I cant see that in steam!!

MadMatty · 16 Sep 2007 at 21:41

you can preorder orange box now on steam. the beta of tf2 gets unlocked tommorow i believe for those that preordered orange box.

TF2 requirements are a fair bit heavier than those of HL2 and CS:S but you can always play it at lower detail if you want to.

The games will be available separately on release. If you want to pre-load you will have to get The Orange Box (or maybe the Black box if they announce it before the release date). TF2 is unlocked tomorrow

Not after the ass-handing I gave y'all at CSS. It was returned in 1.6 though

TF2 requirements should be equal to HL2 Eps2, not that far above HL2 itself so I shouldn't worry much.

Performance should improve quiet a bit for those with dual core/quad core machines as the new client for source supports multi-threading, unlike the current iteration of the source engine.
