Neither.

Get Vietcong and the Fist Alpha expansion. It's the only FPS I know of where you have the option to fix bayonets. Grin

Not to mention it having some of the best scenery and graphics i've seen in a game.

I must also add that it runs on my computer. Rare for a game that comes out these days. Grin

I've got the hardware but I don't feel a great urge for playing it.

I seriously doubt whether my computer comes close to meeting even the minimum requiremts to run that game.

Post them and I can tell you.

I've seen it run decently on a geforce 2. Even with the gfx toned all the way down, it is still very good.

700mhz
geforce4 ti4200 (the only thing that's kept my computer going)
256mb ram

I know HL2 won't work on my pc because I don't actually have a DVD drive. So I fall down at the first hurdle. That is to say, installation. Grin

I'd plumb for Battlefield 1942 with the Desert combat mod, alas, as I've been recently deprived of my home and posessions, the sad cow seems to have shot down that idea!

As for the above, neither given the third option of FS9.

Your computer is fine. It will work fine. You'll have to tone it down a bit, but it'll be fine. You don't need a DVD for hl2 to work. Just buy using Steam and then download it (its all legal). See here for more info:
www.steampowered.com

Did I forget to mention my 56k modem? And steampowered pretty much sums up my machine. It makes enough noise anyway. Grin

AFAIK,there's a Half-Life 2 verion on CD only. But I really wouldn't recommend running it on Woody's machine.

System requirements:
CPU with 1.4 Ghz
512 Mbytes RAM
4 Gbytes for the installation

Stick to Vietcong,Woody. And for a change,try Operation Flashpoint. Old,but kicking ass nevertheless. And there's a Falklands-mod in the works for it... Wink

Sounds good.

One thing I have recently discovered though is this...
On the Vietcong Fist Alpha Cd there is the demo for Hidden and Dangerous 2. "Fantastic!" I thought. Even though when I looked at the system specs on the game I thought "that'll never run on my system". Anyway, I installed the demo, fired it up and voila! It runs fine. Better than Vietcong. Now i'm wondering, do game demo's reflect how a full installation will run on a computer? Or should I not even contemplate buying the full game?

Now, Operation Flashpoint, do you have the option of having the gun in the lower right hand corner of the screen, and the option of looking down the sights when you want to aim accurately? Cause if not, then i'm afraid I won't appreciate it enough to buy it.

Not necissairly. Demos are often made of betas of the program and their performance is said to be a little worse than the one of the program.

Of course you have! OFP is IMHO the most realistic war game ever developed. The only chance to hit your enemy is by using the iron sights. And if the enemy hits you - game over. Wink

Additionally,you get the chance to drive tanks and fly helicopters - american ones only 'though.
And the storyline is better than every single Tom Clancy novel out there. Grin

I'll keep an eye out for it then. If I see it at a reasonable price then I'll get it. But i'm getting Stike Fighters and H&D2 first.

This game is out since 2001. If you get it from e-bay, you'll probably get away with 20€ or less...

I've had bad experiences with 2nd hand games. I want to know for sure that the discs actually work. So if I get it i'll get it new.

Maybe. If it's been out since 2001 then i'll probably be able to pick it up for about £15 at the highstreet. Which I believe works out as pretty much the same.
