I downloaded the Halflife 2 E3 demo off the newsgroups a while back and never watched it. Well I am watching it now and let me tell you it looks incredible.
Sure the graphics are pretty good and all, but that's not what makes the game interesting. It's the details of the environment. People attack with you, pedestrians and the other people wandering around react and move in a damn realistic way. The environment can be smashed and moved around with what seems to be a great physics engine. Vehicles are apparently pretty common.
All these things make me excited again for Halflife 2. Doom who?
