UT engine!(im not being biased,cuz HL is my second best game after UT),the reason i like it,is because its based on the original UNREAL engine.'nuff said :P
(more interesting polls will follow,this was just a quick one ;))

HL made a big wave with mods, and sure boosted mods.
Uscript is good and so is UT, but HL really started it all

HL engine because its obviously the modders choice. However UT was a pile off ass and a heavy engine in alot of respects.

Why wont it save me?

HL kicks major ass because of the community producing so many mods. I mean look at NS, they could box it and sell it for £40 and people would buy it!

On the other hand Unreal is a nextgen engine with more gizmos.

I reckon the ultimate one will be the fabled HL2 which will do everything...

Something tells me Half-Life 2 won't be as much of a mod-happy game as before. I like id Software because one of their goals is to make moddable games. Their gameplay is always simple, no unnecessary frills that might clog stuff up a bit. Except maybe for Quake II a bit :/

But still, Quake1 remains the simplest game to mod.

I've never seen the code to UT or HL so I don't know about that.

The Quake series community (except for the Q2 community) agree that Q2 sucked. It was a half-done game, IMO. I hate to say it but Half-Life is the game Quake 2 could have been, it's what a fully-done Q2 would've been like

Like the monsters, and the AI, and monsters. Stroggs suck. Fiends and shamblers rule! I remember the first time I fought a Shambler in Quake, it was in the E1M5 (gloom keep) map in the gold key room. I was all freaked out (probably 12 years old) and killed it with the perforator, than ran and told my brother about it!

me first memory of HL was the uplink demo, turned the corner and a headcrab flew past. Same as psychofarmer, took it out with the crowbar but it damn well gave me a heart attack.

There is plenty of good mods for UT. There's Infiltration, Apocalypse Weapons, Covert Forces, The Third Reich, Tactical Ops, Operation Na Pali, Strike Force. I could go on for ages.

yeah man!!!!DO THAT!
......
and yeah,i admit,i dont know shit bout scripts and coding...BUT...
to me,all HL mods are the same!ALMOST all OF EM!!!
now take a look at UT..OMG,so many different mods...hell,there even stuff like "programs" for Uwindows(if u know what that is),and mutators...but look at halflife-ALMOST everythings the same.CS,NS,DOD,THe SPECIALISTS,CS,NS,DOD..and so on....
the point is,UT has wayyyyyyy more mods/mutators/utilities wrtitten for it.At least they all differ fro one another :P
