doom3 and counter-strike were written in c++.. hl2 not sure, but my guess is c++.. starcraft, pretty sure it was written in c. i don't think directx offers any functions that can only be implemented in one language (c or c++), so it doesnt' really matter which one you use.. but c isn't object oriented and is more "dangerous" with typecasting.. so c++ is the better bet if you're thinking of getting into programming.

aren't some parts also written directly in assembly?? i could've sworn one of my profs mentioned that parts of a game engine that need to be highly optimiized are directly written in assembly...
thoughts on that??

C for example would be useless for net based stuff for that you would want java or something similar

Um...
C works fine for "net based stuff".
