Author of this article be damned as well; they aren't making Quake IV, and it's not called Unreal Tournament 3! If they followed that convention it would be 4...
Regardless, I've no idea why people think Half Life 2 comes close to Doom 3.
1. "Gordon you're back from a ten year sleep! You caused all this! No Time to explain! Go on a 4 level boat ride down a river!" There's no story in this game; I quess the assumed everyone would have read the numerous rumor pages relating to the story, considering they didn't have the time to implement that story.
2. Half Life doesn't have good physics, Havok does. "Focus on Physics?"; They paid a licensing fee. If you've played say, Deux Ex 2, you'd have fount that if you pick of a trash bin, you can (without the help of some 'gun') hurl it at a NPC, and kill them.
3. Half Life 2's graphics come no were near Doom's , hell it's still got Quake I code inside, with half a dozen DirectX surface effects thrown on to antiquated uses of BSP geometry. UT2003/4 and quake 3 can render the same pictures, if you implement pixel shaders.
Etc. Why people deal with Windows, STEAM, and everything else dealing with Microsoft, and some fat ex Microsoft employee is beyond me.
