I know that this will be controversial but I like Doom3 more then I do HL2. I have not finished either game so this is not a full opinion but Doom3 is more honest in my opinion. HL2 tries to hard not to be a FPS and I don't like that. The level design in HL2 is not good either. Too easy to get lost and not know what you are supposed to do or where you are supposed to go.
Graphically Doom3 is also a lot better then HL2. Doom3 is the next generation graphics engine HL2 is the pinacle of the current generation graphics engine. Although I will admit the water effects in HL2 are second to none.

UUhh...

What does this mean Picard??

It means half Life 2 has the best looking water I have seen in a computer game. Of course there is no water on Mars (well not liquid anyway) so we do not know how Doom3 would handle it.

what pissed me off is you couldn't play with ragdolls cause the enemies would GIB DAMN IT!!!!

I like the darkness. It's a great idea. More games should have it. k:

At first I hated the darkness in Doom 3 and the constant need to switch flashlight and weapon, but I resisted the temptation to get one of those mods which leaves the flashlight permanently on. Now that I'm further on, I'm glad I did -- there are some moments where it really makes the atmosphere. Running through a dark room and activating some zombies, then climbing a staircase and ducking into a dark corner which you hope is empty so you can see the silhouettes of the enemies as they climb the stairs after you and then gun them down is actually pretty scary stuff. If you could just shine a torch down the stairs while you're shooting it wouldn't have anywhere near the effect. [/b][/quote]

This is so true. This is the first time I have actually been scared while playing a game. Except of course Return to Caslte Wolfenstein. Those things with no legs freaked me out, but not as much as this game. And I've only played the first 3 levels of Doom 3.

Wasnt that only the demo???

[Iron_Scarecrow]

Yes it was.

[The Niles]

The first half of Doom is not as good as the rest of the game. You should really try and get the full game. It wont be long before it comes out on budget.

I grew used to the scary-factor of doom 3 after a while. And after that it was just your basic shooter.
I still loved the game. Those messages and little movieclips were brilliant.
And the entire delta-lab part is brilliant, you feel its leading up to something.
