Lost Coast

[Unimatrix Xero]

this is the UK we are talking about here....

my mate lives in a small village (around 1,000 give or take people) and the village wrote a letter to BT, and u wanna know what the responce was..

It would not be viable for us to install broadband in this area as it doesnt present a good business turnover... or some crap like that..

so basicly they wont install BB in the village because they wont make enough money from it/and it will cost em to much for the contractors.... welcome to the UK!!

I know the feeling, I had to back to dialup for the last six months but I have now moved and got back on to DSL.

I will proberly still download Lost Coast even though my PC isnt powerfull enough to play it.

I dont think I can use Lost Coast for excuse to upgrade, the wife won't buy that :D

[munashii]

Oh, I see. That sucks.

interesting artical there... *starts to think how my humble 6200 will cope aha

I am not sure you will be able to get it without a high-end computer. They have hardware checks.

well i can play HL2 with everything on HIGH

[idioot]

if u bothered to read the update it said that it will be released at the end of this month, and since its now the 26th its nearly out, and the steam/valve forums are saying the same thing.. its due out either tonight or tomorrow night.. my bet is tomorrow night

Update came last week? and it said LC will be released next week :whistle: Which is this week.

BT Wholesale allow you to upgrade your exchange if you get enough people to register their vote.

I did it in my old village in North Yorkshire, you get free stickers to annoy the neighbours with as well.

supposedly this offers a tiny bit to the actual story of the game,

I think it doesnt actually. Originally thats what was said but unfortunatly the magazine or site that got invited to valves HQ to play it said nothing was actually revealed.

I'm sort of glad its disjoint, wouldnt fit the story alot nor the gameplay of HL2 (which endevours to keep you in the story...but lost coast taking place at some point within the HL2 story means that magically you have vanished from that world to this town and back again....doesnt feel like the HL way to me). As such id like it to be as disjoint as possible. I think its rated at about 15mins gameplay. I just wana see how my system handles the HDR.

[Unimatrix Xero]

im guessing on Friday for the release.... :D

[Borbus]

Could still be tonight. Its only just evening in USA so they might still release it. I'm not hanging around to find out though. Hopefully it will be out when I get back from work tomorrow.

[Klownicle]

Lost Coast is able to be downloaded to all owners of half life 2 correct?

[Borbus]

It will be available for free for people who own any version of half life 2, yes :)

[scratch42069]

Yup got Lost Coast installed and it's updating right now. Should be ready to play in a few minutes.

Why should they?

They're a business, not a public service.

BT suckass with their excuses. I live in a tiny village in the UK (less than 400 people) and I've had broadband for well over 18 months. But I know what you mean, broadband-wise the UK seems to be miles behind other countries.

[Unimatrix Xero]

try explaining to BT he is stuck on Dialup, but he might be moving in with me soon so i will be haivng to split my 2mb line 3 ways shortly :D

EDIT: ready to play in 16 mins :D

[Unimatrix Xero]

I had a warning telling me my system wasnt upto speed... looks like i might have to O/C my duron to a 2ghz then :D

James: the UK suck for Broadband... i still find my LIne expensive...

i get a 2mb line for ?24.99 per month

[Kerm]

Well there you go, a solution!

Updating now, can't wait for my 6800 to come, im not expecting great results from my 9600XT.

:/

You can disable HDR right?

[Ryan Versaw]

Yes
