Doom 3!

I just saw some demo-alpha-leak of doom 3.I was speechless!!!! It looks awesome,although getting it to work might be a problem because it requires Pentium 4 processor over 2GHz,most likely 2.4,512MB DDR and a GForce 4 with minimum of 32MB ram.

Never liked Half Life much,though its a good game,but for me it was just some Quake2 clone(Half Life uses Quake2 engine) the worst Quake ever.

For me games like Quake,Doom even Duke are the ones that started the gaming revolution(Lets not forget Wulfenstain 😊 ) Good games are,games with good multiplayer,singleplayer is ok,but it gets boring after a while.

People will say that Counter Strike has a good multiplayer,well,yes it does but I think its an amateur game,anyone can be good at Counter Strike,first time PC users can be good at Counter Strike,you have to practice some more to achieve some higher skill level but the case with games like Quake is a lot different.

I have played against the best Counter Strike player here,and I can still make a couple of kills,although they kick my ass but you should see they when they play Quake against a good Quake player(ex: Me 😊 )Their score is always bellow zero 😊

Counter strike is besed on precise shooting,movement is not big factor there.With Quake its the opposite,movement(Don't let me start rambling about the different kinds of jumps and moves like the basic rocket jump,plasma jump,bunny hoping to advanced strafe jumps,plasma climbs etc etc 😊 )comes first,then shooting,although you can't be good at Quake if you just move 😊.If you are a great marksman only,you can achieve great results in Counter Strike,in Quake you have to be really skilled in both to achieve good results.

Sorry about the long off topic post,it brought back memories of my gaming days.So the answer would be I haven't seen Half Life 2 😊

i respect your opinion GhostDog as for myself i don't like FPS games as you said they get boring after a while.
but the best thing about HalfLife was the story

i think they are planing a DOOM movie (i don't want to know story of the movie )
