Source Engine will still look good in 2010, right now Crysis looks the best, but seeing how HL2 came out what 3 years ago? 4? Crysis doesn't look 4 years better. Even if it isn't the most advanced engine, I think it's good and HL2 looks amazing. I'd still put it near the top in terms of quality. This mod will rock if it ever comes out, even in 2011 I'd play it.

I think HL2 and especially Ep2 looked good. But to compare them to Crysis? Come on, we don't even have the hardware to play Crysis in all its glory yet, and it still looks incredible.

Didn't Valve release HL:Source? Think they ported the game over to the Source engine. Not sure how it compares though.

It looks like the orig HL 1 just in the source engine with extra bugs.

Fixed.

This was easily the most disapponting thing about the original game.

Fixed!
