I think it had the potential to be that good if we had stayed 100% focused on delivering that vision. It wasn't as good from the perspective of a full game on shelves as the trailer makes it look because it wasn't done yet. I do think if we had finished that vision for late 2002 (maaaybe late 2003) it would have been pretty spectacular.
I've always though that the 2001 build would've been a Half-Life killer, in terms of interactivity, action and pace. Would you agree?
Hell, I could say it could have beaten DooM3 and Half-life2 to death too, although they would have been released 3~4 years after DNF '01 hypothetical release.
