I don't see how Havok is a bad engine. It's been used in countless games as a base and does the job pretty well if you ask me. To be in a position to call the Havok engine awefull you'd have to play a game that was actually built with the Havok engine's original base, not with the engine a third party developer built around it.

Havok does physics and it's damn good at what it does IMO. Havok is damn good, wether you write it with a C or a K.

In my opinion Havok games generally have really floaty and unrealistic physics. Not that I'm complaining, though - look at all the hilarity that ensues as a result.

(Side-note: Source uses a heavily modified version of Havok Physics)
