Steve [Inglo],

No offence intended, I know what a 'hot potato' this issue is. But if you
pause to think for just a second, don't you feel somewhat underwhelmed by
this generic FPS? Why did they have to xerox the HL story script, for
instance? Time was clearly on their side.

For the record, your opinion is easily as valid as mine. I just feel
somewhat 'let down'. With the pro rata budget available, D3 COULD have been
truly next gen. In the c21, I simply feel it's limitations to be
disappointing.

Regards,

J
