EB is saying November. Valve is saying September. Your guess is as good as mine.

are you getting more excited in half-life 2 rather than in doom3? what i erally like in these games is the graphical advancements, i won't even consider gameplay.

I'm not going to give you a hard time, but I strongly disagree. Look at Unreal 2. All it gave us was pretty graphics and a 2 hour diversion. Possibly one of the most forgettable games I've played.

I would *much* rather play a great game with average graphics, than a bad game with top of the line graphics.

I agree. Both Unreal 2 and UT2k3 were lame in my opinion. I didn't play Unreal 2 for more than a couple hours before it just bored me to death. UT2K3 I passed in a day and that was boring as hell too.

I have the unfortunate habit of annoying myself to death if I dont beat a game that I buy, so I had to play through Unreal 2. Did it over the course of 2 days.

UT2k3, I'll admit it isnt as great as the original, but I still love it. I think the bot matches are a hoot. It can be just as fun (or moreso) as playing online, and you dont have to deal with any punk 15 year old kids with 'm4d sk1llz'. =)

I did have unreal2003, i enjoy it's graphics but gameplay is extremely bad. The only game i know that i played from beginning to end is doom and half-life.

Same. I wonder why you can't change it or turn it off.

You can change the comentators voice to a female one by downloading the official bonus packs (one from epic and cant remember the other). i think you can turn it off/turn it down too...but dont quote me on that.

On the subject of HL2, Im more excited over that than Doom3 - maybe its because i have not played Doom for soooo long. Still looking forward to it alot though.

I think you hit a good point here.
The games that hooked me from beginning to end are the games that I remember and look to find again.

For me this means almost the entire Sierra games collection from Kings Quest to Half Life.
Most of the Lucasarts games and a few D&D based RPGs Buck Rogers 1 and 2. Heroes of might and magic 1/2 And Warcraft 1-3.

I'm excited to see what HL2 is going to be like, as HL would prob have to be my favorite FPS.

But I'm honestly not expecting much, CS has made HL a huge phenomenon and theres no promise of another CS.
Things like CS are once a decade things for gaming and repeating it would probably come off as Super pacman did.
:smile:

I own UT2K3 and find it extremely stupid. Fun but I'll take Q3A still, same exact thing IMO and more familiar (couldnt hurt).

Athlon 1700+, Epox 8RDA (NForce2), Maxtor Diamondmax Plus 9 80GB 8MB cache, 2x256mb Crucial PC2100 in Dual DDR, Geforce 3, Audigy, Z560s, MX500

I don´t care that much for Doom really, maybe I'm wrong but I don't whink it will be fun to play, sure it will look good but that's it.
Half Life on the other hand...yummie, I really look forward to that game.

Hopefully there will be loads of 'good' games built using the doom3/Half-Life 2 engine...

Half Life for me is still the most thrilling and unforgattable game i've played so far.
(Thanks to CS also.).

I enjoyed Doom long time ago, because in 1993 that's the only fps game i know that has good graphics and gameplay. And many games in that year is still 2d, which is also enjoyable.
