re : Half-Life uses the Quake 2 engine well actually it is a beefed up Q2 engine.. the polygone count is MUCH higher in halflife than in Q2. It has some superior features compared to quake2 engine, namely d3d instead of 100% opengl based, better lighting, better network code (well, enhanced) and a host of graphical features wich will take your graphic card and the hosting cpu to quite a little bit more stress than quake2 does. greets, michael da kota. p.s. I would like to see Glquake1 (quakeworld) benchmarks on K7-600 with Voodoo3 3000 (using 3dnow dll from quake2) (just to see how far the cpu can actually go in raw engine power, not dependant on the videocard)
