Personally, I think Doom 3 had a much more immersive atmosphere. When playing it, I felt more as if I was there. All the little fun details they threw in with the codes and the PDA's and everything just smacks of Polish... HL2 is a totally different story. When playing it, I felt as if I was just sort of an afterthought and nothing more. And the constant jokes about Freeman not saying anything got old REAL fast... The engine on the whole didnt look nearly as impressive. The texture quality was very dissappointing as were many many other things in that game.
Mr.Deflok said it best I think.

I too liked both titles but enjoyed Doom 3 by a vast amount more than HL2. Doom 3 does everything it intended to do whereas HL2 tries and fails on too many occassions, the plot is loosely told and has no resolution whatsoever, instead provides a cop-out sequel ending. Personally if I'm being told I'm fighting for some sort of purpose for 10 hours I want to see the result of that fight.
