Hey guys, NS2 is looking pretty dam amazing from all the videos i have watched on youtube. I am however curious to know how it would run on my laptop. Its around a year old so im not too sure if it will run too well (if at all!)

If all else fails ill buy a desktop pc

My specs are as follows:

Processor- Intel core i7-2670QM CPU @2.20 Ghz
Ram- 4 GB
Graphics- Intel HD graphics 3000

Hope this is enough info, Thanks in advance for your help

    I currently play on an i7 2630QM, GTX460M with 8 gigs of ram.

    As a laptop user, I assume that your performance expectations aren't as high as most, so I will tell you that the game can easily be considered playable with my specs. Even then, I play with very high ping which you probably won't have, and despite the many improvements in that department, latency can still have quite a negative effect on frame rate, so I would say that my specs can most certainly run the game more than acceptably.

    I do however play with absolutely no additional settings enabled, and on the lowest native aspect ratio option.

    I basically have the same setup, but with a slighty better GPU. Get a desktop.

    The game will be out in a few days...DONT BUY A NEW PC YET UNTIL YOU TRY THE GAME OUT IN YOUR CURRENT SETUP....

    I have a feeling it would be playable...with some settings turned off...or turned down....

    It will be playable, Salor is 100% right. I can have a lot of fun on my laptop, and performance will be getting better and better. I probably get around 20-30 fps, but with a large drop in battles.

    But if you want a REALLY good gaming experience get a desktop, because losing battles because of stutters, etc, is terribly frustrating.

    I use i5-24300M GTX560m 4gb 1300mhz and i get all off texture high + full hd 30(when a lot structure) to 70fps.
    have any use ssd drive, any preformance increase(sometimes i get 1s freeze can it be a harddrive?)?? Becouse i think about to buy one for ns 2 :)

    besides, if it doesnt work now, the game will eventually work, i remember when i first bought this, couldnt play the game for being too laggy. It getts better (and worse) all the time.

    I am sorry. Your GPU will run 800x600 @<30 FPS and I wouldn't call that even satisfying.
