Yeah, it appears that although it is technically better than Doom 3 they have optimised it for ATI cards as well as Nvidia. Haven't checked to see which it favours but I know it supposedly runs a hell of a lot better (better programming) than Doom 3.

The amount of posts about how you can improve the code behind Doom 3 is unbelievable.

Well I'm not sure. I wasn't hyped up for HL2 at all. I only really thought about even buying it last night (which I did, then spent the night downloading it), however, it's brilliant :D
