half-life has no single-player equal. I wish they would make a Q3 engine powered half-life followup - hopefully return to castle wolfenstien will be such a game! sniff

I thought this was an Unreal engine game (whoops)
Either way this post goes out as proof to the ph4gs in the Max Payne thread and any other thread in years to come that even an older engine can look good if you up the poly's increase the texture detail and know what your doing.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sick of losers accusing a game of looking "gay" because it uses the "q2 engine so it must look as bad as Q2" (look at SOF, Kingpin, and this and others on the Q2 engine)

stupid fuckers.

Not sure how much the Q3 engine has to offer over the Q2 engine. Ok, dynamic curve tesselation, LOD system, stencil shadows...

Q2 has radiosity lighting, Q3 does direct only (I think). I think both do dynamic vertex lighting on objects, and additive circles on lightmaps for world objects. Both have similar visibility occlusion. Both can certainly do things like coronas, halos, and fog (see Diakatana). Other little bits like rain can be added to Q2.

Q3 may be more optimized and faster for a given number of polygons and effects.

Considering the licensing cost difference is something like a factor of 10...
