half life 1 used quake 2 engine.
id released quake 2 engine under gnu/gpl licence back in 98/99, valve added new ai and lighting and called it source. all editing still done on the same principle as quake 2. models are still pretty basic compared to doom3 and unreal warfare engines.

HL1 used the quake1/2 engine, the started with one and used code from 2 in due corse.
iD released Quake2 engine under Gnu/GPL in 2001.
(Quake1 engien was GPLed in Late Dec 1999)
HL came out in 1998, they liceanced a copy of QUake1 engine to sell commercially. carmak then gave them some of the features of Quake2 as they were working on it. GNU/GPL is for non-proft(have u even read it?)
Valve added new AI and lighting, and a few other things(some thigns from quake2 were added because carmack was generous) into Quake1 and called it the HL engine
SOURCE A COMPLETELY NEW ENGINE WRITTEN FROM SCRATCH IN the 6 YEARS VALVE HAS BEEN PUSHING HL. goddamn
Models are not pretty basic, DOom3's models are worse then HL2's in poly counts and details, but they more then make up for it with normal maps. Unreal has slightly worse models also, but they have sharper textures, so it works out.
Now You, are obviously ignorant and have no idea what you are talking about. YOU my friend are a Doom3 and Unreal Fanboy, o yeh and your also a HL2 hater, and o Ill throw in the fact that your also an Nvidia fanboy
(goddamn... and i was the one called a Doom3fanboy... dammit... now u guys see what a real Doom3 Fanboy is like? o yeh and you see what someone who really hates HL2 is like? I don't hate HL2, i think its going to be a good game, but I don't agree with all this overkill hype, bah... Yall know im gonna get HL2, u know its going to be good, either the mods with the game, the single player, the multiplayer, reaplaying HL1 in source, the new CS, or the mods to follow are going to make it worth buying.(if its going to be great is up for grabs/debatable))
EDIT: thanks <--Hasse--> ;)
EDIT2: threw in some more fanboy commments
