in the podcast on the 12th u talked about min specs, is it going to be the original HL2 or source engine or EP 2 or whatever? cheers

forgot to add: will there be advertising on source when it comes close to release, good idea imo <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    I'd imagine that they will use the latest version of the Source engine (the one used in Episode 2, at this time of writing), as they are licensing the engine.

    They'll use the latest, but you can still use the Ep2 version and have minimum specs equal to HL2.

    Yes, we'll use the latest stable version of the engine when we ship. If Valve adds in some useful stuff after Episode 2 we'll incorporate that, otherwise we'll use Episode 2. I guess technically you could say we're using the Natural Selection 2 version of the engine though since we're also making some changes for our purposes. I think Episode 2 has higher minimum specs than Episode 1 because of the way they use the engine (big levels, lots of guys, etc.) not because of a fundamental change in the engine.
