I know the 'Official Half-Life 2' post exists, but I just played Counter-Strike Source last night at a mate's house. Lets just say, if CS was a girl you thought was fit in school, CSS is Jennifer Aniston.
I didn't care if I won or lost. There are so many cool details, like when you shoot metal, the texture is stretched out and a bullet dent texture is put it to make it look like the bullet stretched the metal. Yet it only does this effect on textures that would do it in real life. Cement Block have bits of cement fly off. Barrells roll around. You can play 'Kick The Can'. It's just so damn good.
I only played the remade 'dust' (there is another map, but my mate didn't have it) and they made it look an awful lot better. the resolution it runs as and the textures are amazing. I could go on all day just saying how great it is.
While Doom 3 looks at lot smoother 'round the edges as far as graphics are concerned (with more texture and filter tricks), HL2 looks to be the buisness with the gameplay.
