I don't mind dated technology too much, though looking at a little Unreal gameplay, it seems like the animations really do feel a bit too dated for my liking. And it's all around a bit of a bloody game, something I don't find particularly attractive, even if the graphics are too horrible to be very believable. Half-Life, on the other hand, seems to imply brutality without really showing too much, if my assumptions are correct - that, and it seems to feel much more like Marathon than other games, with a definite emphasis on puzzles. Having glanced once or twice at descriptions of the puzzles in Half-Life, I can tell that it's the sort of game that makes you think "If Bungie had access to these kinds of tools, this is how they would've done Marathon". I may give it a try someday, just for fun.
