IMO, HL-2 had a chance to define PC Gaming for Q4 2003 and most of 2004. However, the hacker-related delay caused it to be pushed back so far that other games have taken its place, and I don't think that HL2 will have the impact it could have. Call of Duty had the great guns-blazing teamplay...
Half-Life 2 and Deus Ex: The Invisible War are two completely different types of games. HL-2 is a basic balls-to-the-wall FPS where all you do is run and gun. DX:IW has more stealth, strategy, and RPG-like management. Both will be great fun, but it's like comparing apples and oranges.

The Meatgrinder of Stalingrad is going to be incredible in that game. Jumping out of your...
I saw a screen of what looked like Hell in the PC Gamer "Great Shooter Shoot-Out" issue. Red glow to everything, the walls were rock and there were stalagmites hanging from the ceiling (or are those kind on the ground?). There was a pinky eating what looked like a thin zombie.

I just can't believe how stupid some people are, judging the game and complaining about bugs from AN INCOMPLETE BETA! I didn't get it because I'm pretty sure playing it would completely ruin the game for me. What would be better, playing it prematurely and bug-ridden, with no real plot or...
Agreed, but the game is mostly close-quarters from what I've seen in screens. That's pretty much tunnel-shooting without much room to show off the physics.
