We don't know the requirements yet. They will more likely be known when the game is released.

I guess, the requirements close to Half Life Ep 1 and 2.

The game will be using the latest (improved) version of the source engine. If that means it will require better hardware in your rig, or if it means it will be optimised and requirements will be lower, is still anyone's guess (I note that Crysis Warhead is slated to have lower requirements than the original Crysis). Expect them to be at or near the same as HL2:EP2.

This is my bet. Its on Source so they wont be dramatically different.

Although I do expect the sheer numbers of infected to create a lot more strain on a PC than any part of Ep2 would have...

When you look at it those are no bigger than any part of Highway 17 or Water Hazard in HL2.

And it would seem that with L4D the maps will be loaded entirely at the start so they would be fairly vast on their own. Seeing as they're being described as "five large maps" within each campaign.

Each section of the map has loading points. I believe after each safehouse you reach.

But the areas between these are going to be a lot larger than any of Valve's previous levels in their SP games (as an interview somewhere, I think it was the GameCyte interview with Erik Johnson).

Alienware is overrated, overhyped and overpriced.

Unfortunate. Have you gone and whined on their forums? That's what 98% of the internet's population would do

Haha, jokes man.
