So how does HL2 measure up? I haven't found the time to go get it. Better than Doom 3? Probably runs circles around Far Cry, right? Ack, Far Cry...
o yea HL2 will run circles around most of the shooters out there, only competition it has is Halo 2.

HL2 smokes farcry & Doom3 away.Gameplay is excellent,there is always some sort of action to keep you occupied,unlike in doom 3 where you just repeat 3 or 4 redundant actions in a mindless search for pda files.
Music and sound are top notch.Its also better looking than ANY game out there.
I was not let down like I was with doom 3.
The only 2 games which will be able to come close to topping this game are FEAR and STALKER(both unreleased).
I'm also surprised I can run this game maxed out(excluding AA & AF)at a resolution of 1200x1600!!Not bad for a 2 year old system (:
Id like to see all of you other fine peoples specs and how well it runs on your machines(that is if no one starts a new thread about this).

I never even got completely thru HL1...I got bored with it. It's been a while, but last I remember, I made it to the surface, then went back into the complex again, then got into some acid trippy place with caves & stuff. Or was that from my bong? lol. Was I anywhere near the end? Maybe I should see if if I saved it so I can finish it up. Hate to try the sequel without seeing how the 1st one ended ;)

Far Cry kills doom 3 :P Doom3 kinda sucks, very reppetitive gameplay and environments. The multiplayer also sucks

jam - if you get the SE it comes with HL:Source and you can skip to then end of HL1 then play HL2.

I subscribe to PC Format in the UK and a couple of issues ago there was some very interesting video footage one the DVD. It shows, someone, completeting HL1 from start to finnish in 45 minutes. I sat at my PC for that long watching as this guy just swooped passed all those levels that I had gontten stuck on.
Great stuff.GaryM

So how come HL2 is not as big as halo 2 or Doom3?Its a better game in almost all areas.
I just dont understand.
Anyone have any sales figures for it?
0
one reason is people are pissed off by valve's bs in delaying the game's release
im not buying it until the price goes down at least in half

Oh, and how does HL2 compare graphically to Doom 3? Because I saw some Screen shots and they don't look too much better or worse thand Doom 3.

"Doom has better graphics, but less performance."
I have to disagree with you on that Avarik.
I played through both games on high settings and Half-life 2 had slightly better graphics.You were right about the performance.
