(Half Life 2 Revisited) I have heard a rumor that although the source code was stolen, one of the major reasons that the game was pushed back was to refine some of the graphics because Doom 3 looks considerably better than expected and that Valve wanted to “beef” up the graphic potential of the game. Althought this is all a rumor, it does make a little bit of sense because looking the the game play videos of Doom 3, it does look better than HL2.
