these forums are for CS, thus, HL2 vs. Doom3 is irrelevant.

1) These aren't forums.

2) Counter-strike is on the half-life engine, thus making discussions based on half-life 2 and what it has to offer for the future of CS is relevant (It doesn't matter if it's half-life 2 vs. a chicken egg, it's still on topic).

You know, Valve are id fanboys themselves. I thought you guys should know that.

I don't get the fun ads anymore with my CS-Nationalist account

Actually you can still get those ads with your new account. Have you checked your hyper-threading proximites lately? There also could be a problem in your main output board connected to your interweb portal.

This is all just fucking hilarious...

valve get the act together? windows dead? lmfao. boy have u heard of windows longhorn? i dont believe anyones gone 64 bit yet.

ive played doom3, ive played the alpha version of hl2 (u didnt hear it from me) hell ive even built maps from that leaked alpha and seen what the source engine could do (pretend this post from here and before was ur imagination)



point is, how do YOU guys know what ur talkin about? true hl2 isnt completed, doom3 is, hard to compare. but the guy doesnt deserve that much flamage. the source engine DOES perform better than doom3's. hl2 characters do sport facial muscles and eye radiosity calculations or sumcrap that looks pretty fukken good. yea teh guy dunno what hes talkin about when hes talking about the hl2 AI. that WAS word of mouth.



doom3 will never let u drive your turbocharged buggy 90 mph out on the desert plains shooting at antlions.



ur never gonna see a headcrab in doom3.

oh myfucking god. thats genius i tell you.



yeah all what this guy said is true!



doom3 is just a cheap competition and only point that doom3 came out was just to sell its engine as fast as possible. just like all unreal games r doing. just basically making a great engine, making a crappy game so people will know the power of the engine, and then selling the engine out so the real game makers could make the game using unreal engines.

Hi, I would like to thank CS-Nation for featuring our article and would like to say a few things for myself.

First off the article was written on researched data and was thoroughly proofed. Two of the people that proofed the article go to the Valve offices regularly and have played the latest builds of HL2 on various occasions.

Iron Chef "real mapping" is the European term for normal mapping. I occasionally switch back and forth between them.. For obvious reasons.

The fact that HL2 is not done has absolutely no bearing on an article comparing technical specifications of 2 engines. You can read more on that in our forums.

I never put VS in the title of my article, all the news sites got caught up in the hoopla and put that there themselves to make it seem like a big contest or something.

There are a lot of other points I would like to touch on but most of it is talked about in the thread on our forums. http://www.whutdufuk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=89 Feel free to comment on any issues you may have with the article but I only ask that you read the thread beforehand so I don't have to answer the same questions over and over again.

Also thanks to those of you that stood up to the flamers in my absence since I was not here to defend myself.

I knew you guys werent fake!



Yeah, your welcome spaniard i knew you guys werent fake. (btw my not real acct was idontfeellikeit).

By the time HL2 comes out, you can compare it to Doom 4.

Oh, it was obviously a very conscious decision -- just not an intelligent or tactically sound one. Check in on some of the lighting discussions over at AR15.com and see what real world law enforcement and military personnel have to say on the subject.

I think anyone with half a clue would, if they were really stuck in a demon-infested research facility on Mars, strap their flashlight to their weapon. It doesn't take combat training to figure that one out. But in that situation...well, you'd be in a demon-infested research facility on Mars trying to escape with your life, rather than sitting at your computer hoping to have a good gaming experience. Sadly, unlike the primal desire not to be eaten, opinions on a good gaming experience differ.



For instance, by which standard is allowing use of the flashlight and a weapon a "must"? If id made the decision to go to extremes with the lack of lighting in the environments, why on earth would they negate that by allowing you to wield a flashlight at all times? I'm curious, do you think it's an unqualified failure of an idea, or a good idea let down by the fact that the environments are just too dark (which, by the way, I'm inclined to agree with)?

That's not innovation, it's lazy design and lack of imagination...unrealistic at best, retarded at worst.

Hey, I didn't say it was revolutionary. All I object to is you calling id stupid, lazy, unintelligent, unjust, lacking imagination (which I have to concede is completely applicable, for almost everything but the flashlight) and retarded for making a gameplay choice you happen not to like.

[Mr. T]

Doom 3 is a very good game. Even though it is linear to the extreme the VERY good graphics help to cover this up; Half-Life 2, while it's missing some features on the engine (ATM) that are pretty much standard these days EG normal mapping, gloss maps, etc. should more than make up for it with it's expansive environments.



Doom 3 definitely needed some daylight to break up those boring techbase areas; like I said before, the brilliant art goes some lengths to cover this up.
