    What a plain jane game. Doom 3 technology is still considered state of the art yet here it is looking like something out of CoD2.

    I was talking to Yanks the other day and he was pointing out that old tech is really not necessary to make a game look good, cause it's really all about bringing the strong art to compensate for any technological shortcomings. His example was I think MW2, I would myself point to Episode 2 as well.

    This game proves the reverse is true - all the techy gadgets in the world will not stop your game from looking aged if you have sub-par art. Like this dude here:

    Who posed him? Poor bastard's dislocated his shoulder just to keep that machinegun steady.
