A potential bout forming.....;)

Hmm, what do you think?

Boltzmann · May 31st, 2003

Well, IMHO Half-Life will never be better than Doom, no matter what other people say.

ready2rumbelX · May 31st, 2003

Are you talking about the difference between Doom and Half-Life 1, Doom 3 and Half-Life 2 or in general?

Cause yes, Half-Life is very good, but I wouldn't go on about it like alot have....

ready2rumbelX :eek:

**DarkAurora** · May 31st, 2003

I love the first Half-Life but both Half-Life and Red Faction stole their story from Doom, so I believe Doom 3 will be better than Half-Life 2.

Boltzmann · May 31st, 2003

I'm talking about Half-Life in general. I don't think it's such a big deal (it's only my opinion, though).

Carnage · May 31st, 2003

I had half-life for a long time...and I havent found the spirit to continue the 1 player story thing...I dont like it...but doom on the other hand

that is as best it can get!

ready2rumbelX · May 31st, 2003

I'm really looking forward to both of them! Although, if I had to choose which one to get if I could only get one.....it'd be Doom III....it looks amazing!

Greetings,

The worst part is that I'll probably need an upgrade before I can play Doom III. I heard that the minimum it needs is a GeForce 3... Too bad for me

But like you, I'll be getting both, only for the sake of it

Live long and prosper.

I honestly hope i've upgraded my 1600+ and ATi 7200 before I get them....:eek:

Doom is the best FPS game ever (Second place goes to serious sam, if anyone ask...

). I have Doom since it was released and still play it. With great utils like Slige (random level generator), the Doomsday engine, MD2 models... Half Life is good, but will NEVER be better than doom (and his life was quite short. Heym maybe that why the name is HALF Life!). I think Doom3 is going to be the best release ever!

HAH! Deus Ex 2 will kick both of their asses

**Prafull** · June 1st, 2003

/me totally agrees with the pic.

Doom 3 is perhaps the biggest hyped up product ever.

Mr. Killjoy · June 1st, 2003

Hehe, I never really enjoyed Doom, cuz of the crappy AI, and the low level of interactivity... In short it was too "Run and shoot!"
And I prefer realistic weapons (but a few very futuristic ones are welcome too)

Same opinions here. Thats why half life was much better than Doom. The first time I played half life I said "Wow ,thats what we call AI".

I still remember that first small monster pounding on my face.

And the characters, the Docs and the soldiers, they were really really cool.

It was infact the first pc game that was more like a movie than a game.

maybe if not half-life the game; half-life the mod-friendly app is still the most popular by the numbers (damn CS just won't die yet.). add that to the fact that HL2 will have very low spec requirement when compared to the video-hungry doom (at least according to the info valve has released about HL2); more people will be able to appreciate HL rather than doom.

Mr. Killjoy · June 1st, 2003

>> It was infact the first pc game that was more like a movie than a game.

It's also the only game that never left my HDD since I have my PC (more 3-4 years)

Chinoz · June 1st, 2003

I think the monster cast should be reversed. HL and all of their mods (save CS) were all mega crappy. I don't see how HL2 would be any better

Mr. Killjoy · June 1st, 2003

>> HL and all of their mods (save CS) were all mega crappy

Maybe cuz you don't like the engine, no?

**Kane** · June 1st, 2003

Na.... I wasn't really impressed with H-L either. I preferred SiN. H-L was only good for CS beta 7

That's probably the case with me: I didn't liked the engine. The only good thing about HL is CS
