Actually, I would like to see console games go in different directions, technically and graphically. Great facial animations for example (HL2 is still unsurpassed after all these years). And I loved the Alan Wake tech demo with the huge landscape and time acceleration.
You won't be able to pit those features against KZ2 directly, because they are just different beasts, but it would be great to see them.

 

Completely true and a testament to the genius and superior skills of Valve as a game developer. Crysis, for all its fancy visual output (still a shit game though) has terrible facial animations. HL2 still reigns supreme, the textures in HL2 are incredible as well, far better than Oblivion and other contemporaries and even most new games. Astonishing, to say the least.

You are aware that they improve upon the game regularly right ? textures were terrible when half life 2 was released (well not terrible but not that good)

Up close they still pixelate a bit..

 

And while facial animations are very good... i really wouldn't call them unsurpassed :\
