the initial load time for HL2 is al little bit worse than Doom3s is.
But Doom3 doesn't have all the long level loads that HL2 does through
the whole game. Because of that, HL2 is irksome, but bearable. The
long load times also apply to Far Cry first starting up a level. All
three of these games are beautifully rendered, I guess the LongLoad is
the price we have to pay for that.
