Mr. Redundant said:the world Geometry is lacking greatly in HL2 as well (from what they have shown us) lacking in terms of comparison to other engines... it doesnt have the huge levels of Battlefield, or the lush foliage of Farcry, or the dynamic lighting of Doom3... however that doesnt mean it isnt impressive in its own right.
Huge levels? it's a city, visibility is cut off by buildings every block! lush foliage in eastern europe?
