You need to be connected to the net EVERYTIME you play the game FOR THE WHOLE PERIOD you play it.

i read the review and it said the people are a bit stupid if you compare the advance to that of the first. i gotta say BULLSHIT! dont suger coat it.

i've done about 3 levels so far with a squad and they're dumb as fuck. they all have A.D.D, are suicidal and block your path/crosshairs when you're being shot to pieces.

you dont mate - you have to be online to log into steam and then you can disconnect the internet and steam will stay active enabling you to play half life 2 single player offline.

if youre talking cs source of course you have to be online for the whole time you play tho - it being an online game!

nope as you complete levels steam downloads more encription keys. Every few levels it has to connect to steam.

oh right i see what you mean - yeah that makes sense cos now and again - steam has to update half life before it lets me play. so yeah - id say every 3 levels (where a new level is where it has to load) it does this

i hadnt noticed to be honest cos i tend to play for a few hours then come back to it later - but if youre planning to paly it for hours on end then i suppose you would have to be connected to internet the whole time.

if you only play for a few hours at a time though - it doesnt matter about being online - just be prepared to have to let steam update the next time you want to play

good work peezyboy - i never knew that

I think it would run fine on medium maybe a few slowdowns because of the RAM. Also what exactly is ur gfx card? Threre are a few 128 MB cards all varieing in performance.
