you have no idea what youre talking about. the source engine is several degrees inferior to games like CoD4, crysis, bioshock, or any other major shooter you care to mention that's been released in the last few years.

Yes it was made half a decade ago. But I thought you were one of the proud and few to not obsess over how high a resolution a texture is.

im not obsessing. just correcting people who are mistaken and i must admit i do have a guilty tendency to criticise textures, mass effect anyone?

imo CoD4's engine is extremely overrated. Especially compared to the Source engine. The world is extremely static and linear, with very limited physics. Got boring, quick.

and which physics-based gameplay elements do you think really make a difference in left 4 dead?

General consensus is that the graphics on this game are superb, and I agree..... it runs superbly as well, much better than Crysis and the like, this is the first game I can run at like AAx8 and AFx8 without any slowdown!

This game runs smooth-as-butter damn-near maxed out on my new MacBook Pro (booted into XP)... kick-ass.

Id like to point out that nobody is criticising the actual game; just the graphics. It’s a good game. it just looks old.

The game totally looks amazing, it's almost as good as Crysis except it's in a dark and creepy atmosphere.

I'll be the first (and only from the looks of it) to admit that this game didn't do much for me. Not sure why. I don't find it very fun playing as a zombie, and I think the game gets repetitive as hell. Don't get me wrong, the co-op aspect is pretty damn neat, but I just found the game to get stale quickly.

I've only played it twice, both sessions were kinda short. I'll give it another goaround and see if my opinion changes.
