No they don't. ATI's real weekness is in the quality of thier drivers. The fastest card on paper doens't do you a damn bit of good if the drivers are not stable in games. Which is why I dumped the mid range ATI card I bought a month ago in favor of a GeForce 6800 GT. ATI can suck it.

As for the game, it looks great, gives you a real sense of urgency when you play, but I hate stacking boxes and barrels. damn barrels always end up on their sides. I was playing Doom3 the other night and their dark rooms and screaming monsters are not as frightening as City 17 and the masked Protectors of Half Life 2.

Way to go Valve!
