Can id Softwares Doom III compete with all of that?
[Cyric] I expect Half Life 2 to be an awesome game when it is finally released but so far the way Valve has treated its fans in my eyes is garbage. A game can have all the fancy tricks and gimmicks it wants like vehicles or the token eye grabber for guys which comes in the form of a sexy looking female, but if a company jerks it customers around the way Valve has it means nothing to me. Valve was adamant that it would be released on Sept 30th and spoke no word about it until two days earlier when their source code was stolen and that apparently caused the game to be delayed for another 6 months. What was stolen was a half finished scripted game that was no where near being released. So unless Valve had a secret copy of HL2 in a safe somewhere, they were no where near releasing it on Sept 30th and they failed to mention that to anyone. It rubs my rhubarb when companies bite the hands that feed them so to speak and most gamers just accept it. They forget all about it when the game comes
