This needs to be stickied! ASAP! Excellent solution! I did it myself on my PC. Not to mention that I'll be able to play my 360 as soon as I get it with no problems!
At least HL2s graphics work for every environment you can name! Doom 3's work for some corridors and a snippet of the martian surface; that's it. BOOOOOOORING! play HL2 on a high end system and you can really appreciate how beautiful the graphics are, and wtf is that about it having no bump-maps? It uses bump-maps in moderation, where they are actually needed, unlike Doom 3 which ridiculously covers itself with 'em. Explosions in HL2 are very very nicely handled and corpses dont just vaporise in a puff of red gas, they conform to the environment sensibly and realistically with some nice blood going everywhere . . . I could go on for a list of what's better in HL2 than Doom 3, but then I realised it wouldn't stop; HL2 is the best PC game ever, end of story. Now get back to the graphics . . .
HL2 has REAL TEXTURES! That's a new one for the Doom 3 fanboy's memo book. Oh, the HL2 graphics are actually better, even though iD flaunts around with their fancy-pants graphics, the HL2 graphics are better detailed and are a lot more cinematic. Honestly, iD fanboys around the world probably crapped themselves when the Source engine turned up on their doorstep ;).
