In general, I think Doom 3 has better graphics than HL2. However, I was really impressed with the water and the outdoors in HL2.

The interior graphics of HL2 are far superior to Doom3 or Far Cry. Look at the walls, the shadows, the paint that is coming off, wooden doors that are rotting away.

In HL2 you get the feeling you're in a realistic interior and a complex and beautiful one too. The walls in Doom3 are silly (from a realism point of view) and repetitive. Structure in the walls of complexes don't mean anything in Doom3, in Half-Life they mostly do.

The outdoor environment in Far Cry is probably better.

an opinion.

Doom 3 by a long shot. Half Life 2 had very blocky graphics, little curvature in the world.claytoma
Well ah only if u have a Piece of SH!T computer. How can you say that? Even on the lowest settings its still amazing. I think you need a reality check. And dont get me wrong, Doom 3 does have great graphics, HL2 still wins by a long shot

Half Life 2, Doom 3 has some very low-res textures up close on walls and smaller objects.  Half Life 2 also has this same issue but only on walls and other large up close objects.

I think that Doom 3 has better graphics, but most of time is difficult to apreciate that graphics, and in HL2 we have a brighter iluminatin and we can see more clear all the details. What do you think about FarCry ?

It is true that FEAR and other new games will have better graphics but most of us dont have the computer to play it well.

Half Life 2 is a much more pleasant looking engine, and it's more adaptive.  I'll admit I don't think any engine out there today can render metal corridors better than Doom 3, but that's about where it stops.

Doom 3 is much much better, on my friends computer there is NO JAGGIES! even when you are in the darkest areas, dont get me wrong though HL2 is some of the best ive ever seen.

Half Life 2 is a better game, but Doom 3 has better graphics.

Thats called Anti-Aliasing, half life has it too, it just isint turned on by default.

Doom 3 has more sophisticated graphics. But HL2 Has a far more realistic color palette. But then again, the facial animations and character models are far and above the best of ANY game out thus far. Its just some of the facial tones and textures wernt a high res as i think they could be. Doom's just a very smooth looking game. Very High Res.

Halflife 2 is much better looking in my opinion, not because it uses more advanced fx and stuff, because it truly does look better. Doom 3 was nice looking, but if you took away the shade and darkness, what you had underneath was doom2.

FarCry

Riddick

Halflife 2

Fear

Doom3   .........................in graphics this should be the order......for fps'.....although there are others that are nicer looking than doom3....but since these are the games mentioned.

I like Half-Life 2's graphics a lot better, but the lighting aspects of Doom 3's graphics are incredible. The technical aspect is better in Doom 3, the artistic value in Half-Life 2.

oblivion is very nice but i dont find it as smooth flowing as HL2, i thnk HL2 with HDR will come out over oblivion..... i defiantly think HL2 is better than doom 3, doom 3 only looks good indoors. whereas i find hl2 looks pretyt ncie inside and out. Far cry and oblivion look nicer outdoors than hl2...... but indoors there just not that good and i fidn the charcter models in oblivion dont look as good as lets say COD2 and struggles to render 4-5chracters on screen compared to COD where you have 30 with no slow down....

if you really think about it, FEAR has the best graphics by far.  It has everything doom 3 has only better and ROUND heads instead of hexagonal heads.

Doom 3 dont get me wrong has good graphics but overall HL2 has better graphics and smoother graphics unlike Doom 3 where some stuff looks pixellated.

There is no such thing as 'best' graphics.

 It's all about artistry. Pixels, shaders, AA != best graphics. Best graphics are those that fit to the game. 

 You might ask however, which game needs most CPU+GPU power to provide nice looking graphics.

After playing HL2 with the Fake Factory mod and Doom 3 with Ultra Quality Textures,I feel HL2 graphics beat the crap out of Doom 3 graphics. I don't mean to say that the graphics of Doom 3 suck.
