I can't believe I've been wasting my time replying, it's pretty obvious he's just trying to wind us up now..

Is this gonna get back on topic?

I think the largest advantage of HL2 vs other games will be the modability and support for MODs. I've talked to the developers in depth & the engine is truly extremely flexible...not just graphics...but things like physics, the graphics interface, weapon actions, movement, etc.

No need to retalliate

Sorry

Nope. Better close it. With the question mark around this just turns into a flamefest. Not that it isn't fun to watch of course.

I want to score a post though before it closes.

i think the main point in my opinion is doom 3 may have better graphics, dynamic lighting yadda yadda snore but when it comes down to it Doom 3 looks fantasy and in my opinion plasticy whereas Half-Life 2 is a more gritty realistic look which just excites the 1984 fan boy inside me.

On the other hand though I want both games cos Doom 3 looks unrivalled in the horror genre and it really looks pretty cool. I don't see the point in petty arguments about which engine is better etc. When it comes down to it we're all gamers and why shouldnt we get both games? Why is there this "carmack's dick is bigger than gabes" talk. Stupid really.

Well,
I see two different engines, I see two experiences for each, I see two game play styles, and I see two amazing games. At the end of the year I have played both and enjoyed both.

HL2 got better things than D3; apparently D3 got better things than HL2. I think they quite equal.

 

[¿¿¿¿¿]

I admit, you have all convinced me. Carmack has lost his mind and crafted and engine that can only do 3ft hallways of shiny metal. Source is obviously the choice for any type of game you want to create, and the latest batch of screenshots proves it's graphical supremacy.

That is the most intelligent thing I've ever heard you say G0rgon

Nice one!! :cheers:

It's so true as well. Two different engines and two different games. They're supposed to be different and that's the main thing. It isn't a competition as both developers are trying to acheive different things.

yep you could say that but..

Quake 4 which uses THE D3 engine will have some maps that is twice or three times the size of UT04. That is amazing. :sniper:

Camrack's dick IS bigger though.

THANKS YOU

Dude we are talking about D3 not carmack .

are you alright ? Is your health OK ?

 

[PvtRyan]

Camrack's dick IS bigger though.

And how would you know? It seems to me that you've got your head way to far up Carmack's ass to see that.

 

[CrazyHarij]

I like them both, I try not to be a fanboy.. But I think HL2 has a more realistic engine without all this ligthning and bumpmapping overuse, however I like the sci-fi atmosphere that D3 seems to convey.

 

[¿¿¿¿¿]

My health? LOL. Your funny. I like gorgon.

And how would you know? It seems to me that you've got your head way to far up Carmack's ass to see that.

Yes, so far I can easily peek out of his mouth from time to time when he is yawning. From there I get a clear view.

bumpmapping overuse

please help me to understand this concept. How can normal maps be overused? All they do is enhance every surface they are on. How can oyu have too many enhanced surfaces?

 

[Crusader]

PvtRyan: ROFL

 

[CrazyHarij]

NO, PLEASE NO!

Don't start a flamerwar, people.

I was mostly annoyed that he called pimurho an idiot in his second post here.

I've been called worse, by better.

I think this thread has run it's course. Closed.
