Unreal Engine or Half-life Engine... Thread

HELLO! There is a debate! Which engine do you think is better? Unreal, or Half-Life?
Personally i think that the half-life engine is much better, it has a more realistic, solid feel to it when Unreal's textures are blochy and doodly, and it just doesnt seem that visually appealing to me. UT2k3 and Unreal 2 are much better than UT though. But half-life 2 is going to spank them bad.

HL and HL2 have a preppy feel to it and have an online community that's a majority of lamers, plus you have to warez0r a compiler for the code.

Unreal > HL

I guess coding wise and stuff its different but i am not looking at it from that point of view, i only map, the unreal mapping utility seemed alot more complex but i didnt take time to learn it. But i dont know about code and yes the entire community is a bunch of lamers who think they are macho men because they can say im a 1337 h4x0rz and n00b.

HL, more community (even tough there are some l4m3rz) and it gets more attention, hl all tha way

Also, wolfenstein looks and feels very similar to Unreal.

Except wolfenstein uses similiar building like HL because its uses the Quake 3 engine.

Unreal Tournament 4 Life.

Half-Life cannot and will not be beat any time soon.

Quake1. Lowest lamer ratio ever. Pretty graphics. Easy and powerful QuakeC programming. All you ever need.

I forgot about quake, quake3 was pretty good, but i dont like battle royale type game modes

Half Life is over-rated for some reason

Its a good game, yeah, but overrated.

And, Unreal 1 had much better atmosphere than Half life, and Unreal was just an awesome game I thought- It was truly "Unreal"

Although- If your talking about "engines" here, not the actual game, then it should be the Quake 2 engine, because Half life uses the Quake 2 engine.
And Nothing beats a Quake Engine

Unreal and UT pwnz0r Unreal 2, which was a horrible disgrace of a game.

And the art style of the textures has nothing to do with the textures, unless you're talking about the weird dithery effect in software mode.

if you want bigger maps and realistic textures and hard code to use than go with RTCW

If you want easy code and easy modding than go HL, You will need l33t mappers to get a good mod out.

UT, easy mapping, code is not fun to play with and models need to be nice= all around good mod team needed.

SP=rtcw, hl, ut
MP=HL,ut, rtcw
DM=HL

ut, baibeh

Aye sir, but if you like realism you should go with bf1942

if you want realism, you should at least pick a game with locational damage

whoaaaa???

You don't need to mod a "superior" game for realism. Look at Total Farce. It has all the realism you ever need.

Pick a game with locational damage? Hah, that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. You make it sound like people are too stupid to make locational damage themselves.

Exactly, the reason why theres so much HL mods. Same goes for weapon reloading.

That's right. Whiner: "I'm not using Quake, because it doesn't have reloading weapons" Me or anyone else: "GOOD G'LOST"

Heh, somebody should whip animated gifs like these

I hate local damage cuase if you get shot in the leg you could be fine every where else but you can't move

BROUGHT TO YOU BY ME!!!!!!!

HAHAHAHHAHA!!!
