Yeah I havn't seen much of FEAR, what I saw was inside buildings and a bit of outdoor in an industrial area. HL 2 has some nice little details to it, and things look generally pretty good until you zoom in. I personally like the character models in HL2 more, they seem somehow more realistic, but yeah, I also havn't seen much of FEAR, so my judgements are vague. Ah.

I don't know what setting you saw F.E.A.R. on though ... me I run it at 1600x1200, 4xAA or no AA with soft shadows turned on (looks the most realistic but is a resource hog), 8-16xAF (depending on if I want a bit better frames or not) and everything else on maximum. When I max out HL2 it just doesn't look nearly as good imho. Especially the lighting in dark areas, the character models and the textures. I do think that the animations (especially the facial ones) are a bit better in HL2 and of course the outdoor environments look better I will concede that.

I can always use Level developers when I start work on my mod for UT2K7 which I am still in the process of putting on paper first. “anuban ur such the shit dude i finally built some levels on ut04″

But I suppose the Source engine is holding up decently considering it is going on 2 years old. The Monolith engine is more realistic in my opinion for that type of game.

The Source Engine is pretty realistic. The reason it might look the same is because it's in a city like location. I think it looks fine. The Source Engine is pretty realistic.

Valve needs to upgrade that Source engine and people need to be more artistic when developing games using that engine.
