An important personal note to the FG guys

[Sexbad]

That's kind of odd considering the backstories of Doom and Half-Life are almost exactly the same.

I will not say that Half-Life did not have new things that were introduced to an FPS, but I will say it was not the end-all-be-all, considering games constantly made improvements over it shortly after it. The designer of one of my favorite games, namely Raven Software's Star Trek: Voyager - Elite Force, stated Half-Life as an inspiration to make the storyline coherent, but I find there was much more coherency than what Half-Life did.
