I wouldn't call it a community, a community assumes there's harmony between the members.

As for an id game with bad level design...I'm sorry but Q2 definitely falls under that category. I absolutely hated the levels in that game, they were an eyesore to look at and rather dull to play.

Now for the whole D3 vs. HL2 thing...f**k it!

As for the whole which game it takes talent to make a map for...f**k that too!!

Let's see, what other arguments going on in this thread have I not told to "f**k off" yet? Oh yeah, Pie vs. Cake, f**k that one as well!!!!!!

tbh I wish less games out there were focused on "realism" in terms of gameplay and graphics. I miss the Atari days when it was more overt that it was a GAME, when the 'real' premises were silly or nonexistant. I don't care about realism, I care about fun, video games need more silliness in them

See and Half-Life (series) wins on sillyness on every point, tons of humor, whacky scientists and situations.
You know who's going to be in Half-Life 2? Yes that's right, Barney! And he's even better looking for all the ladies out there!

Did you hear all the people laughing at the E3 (there were numerous occasions btw), when Gordon bumped over a monitor, and the scientist (kleiner) reacted on it. They laughed, you probaly didn't hear anybody laugh when D3 was showed, and that's probaly because everybody was intimidated beforehand.

Can you imagine the silly mods for Half-Life 2, yes you can, I know you can, I also know you can't imagine anything silly for D3 (except that it wont even look good on most of our systems, now that's silly).

D3 will never win on the point of sillyness, because Half-Life is the master of silly.

Hell, why not.
