By the time I got around to actually playing HL it had been severely dated. It sucked IMO. I've never played CS. Forget the original... HL2 looks outstanding and I'll be buying it as soon as I can get my hands on it.

Hl2 will should be pretty good, but with the delay, its not quite as groundbreaking. The physics engine will have been used on several games at least. Still should be a solid game with lots of mp possiblities.

Doom 3 will not dissappoint either. The latest screeshots are the best character models, details and lighting I have ever seen, but its a single player game. MP is limited to 4 players?

Quite a while back i played a HL mod called "Knights and Vikings" or something..
I really hope they make one of those for HL2 aswell..
Long time since i felt that joy, running around with longbow and sword, crushing all resistance..
Jeez, im wetting myself here..

My expectations of HL2? I fully expect it to not run on my computer.

Well, it might run, but it's gonna look fugly on my 64MB vid card. Same expectations for Doom3. annoy:

Doom 3 has way betterl ighting effects, but the physics on HL2 and graphics in a lot of scenes in the trailers looks a lot better for some reason.
