I don't care read the post up one, As I stated I'm not american, So say whatever you want about america, good, bad, whatever wont hurt my feelings. Maybe alot of other people.
The original Half Life was a modified Quake I engine. Quake was a revolutionary step in gaming, but don't dare misplace that honor and give it to Half Life. There may have been other things that Half Life was good for - but I never saw them. HL2 on the other hand...

Far Cry.
You can leave it at that. Half-Life 2 is a game whose popularity mystifies me, I haven't even been able to finish it.

varied ideas
:giddy: it is just amazing to see somany ideas that people have,
just amazing.
the best games are ones that always hold a special place near ur heart, games that u can never forget, games that have that playing again and again value. for me RPG are games that do that and it varies from people, some of my frnds swear by their FPS and some by MORPG and so on.
but for me
Star wars KOTOR is that special game.
i have played it apparently 28 times and still playing it occationally.

quake engine or not, half life is the platform which popular games such as opposing force and multiplayer games such as counter strike and day of defeat. it's a versatile bit of work, and i personally like it best. you could say it's more a matter of it's appeal to gamers and the widespread availability of popular mods than where the gaming engine originated.
y half life 2? there r much better games. Sure the graphics r g00d but its lacking in th3 fun department.
I was just pointing out that the engine wasn't theirs - not that the game isn't fun (though I never understood why - I tried playing it several times and hated it.) I'm not ignorant of the fact that many, many people love(d) it so it has to have something I just don't get.
When you said it was a revolutionary step and that engine is still drives games today I felt that was misplaced. IMO Valve is a pretty crap company even though I was thoroughly impressed (technically) by HL2.
BTW - I also love BF1942 even though I haven't played it in a while.

Nethack,
Tomb Raider,
The Longest Journey,
Unreal Tournament,
Grand Theft Auto 2.
The first one is free, the rest are a few bucks in bargain bins or secondhand.
Oh and LNCPapa, wasn't Half-Life engine based on Quake II engine, not the first Quake?

i love the original half life, i guess it's a simple difference in our respective choices in gaming. with all the stuff out there today, there's something for just about everyone.
another game i really dug was the 1994 release of wing commander armada, does/has anyone played that?

Yes, I totally forgot about commander keen! What a ccrazy game that was.
i love your name Zephead but i dont agree even in multi COD beats it . the numbers of player online tells the rest .. i gave away my BF1942 shortly after getting COD the only thing 1942 have is you can fly a fighter plane and able to use a joystick "i have one" but it was not enough for me to keep it.zephead said:
