Half-Life 2 Lost Coast now available but can you run it???

Yet another gaming release with ridiculously high system requirements.

The long awaited single player bonus map (that is essentially a showcase of the HDR feature (High Dynamic Range) is available and free to download via Steam (335Mb). The map is an extension of the "Highway 17" chapter of HL2 and though "short" is damn pretty and represents the latest capabilites of computer gaming.

Once completed the level is replayable with "Developer's commentary" and Valve will be waiting for your input and comments.

Valve also takes this opportunity to mention that they will be creating some new CS:Source content (new player models and two more map remakes: de_nuke and cs_militia).
