I can't think of a good title

I pre-ordered both, Halo 2 so I could get it at midnight and HL2 so I could play CS:S. I'm sure both are going to be great games. In fact, I bet that Halo 2 will be Counter-Strike for the xbox what with the xbox live support and the huge stat tracker that Bungie has.

The focus of Halo and HL are completely different; one's an all out LAN party game and the other is an atmospheric adreline-pumping one-man experience. The HL line, however, has done much more for the FPS gaming community than Halo has. True, Halo has great multiplayer options and a badass vehicle system, but those have been done before (although maybe not as well) in Tribes and such. HL, and hopefully HL2, has made major changes in how FPS games are made and played today.
Im putting my money in HL2

Well, for all the opinions being flung about, nothing changes the fact that HALO rocks, and HALO 2 will rock once I get it. Mr. Deflock had already attested to this. Half-life was above-average in my opinion, way above, but still not a peer to HALO. ^^ My opinion may change drastically when Half-life 2 comes out, so we will simply have to wait and see.

Well I don't have an X-Box but I have to say that I enjoy Halo only for Red Vs. Blue. That is one helluva funny animachina! HL2 gets my vote.

I'm going to get HL2. As mentioned the potential for mods is excellent. So even if I don't like the game, which is unlikely, I can just wait for mods that appeal to me. Halo 2 looks neat and all, but I can wait for either a price drop or for it to port to PC.
Also, VtM:BL looks like it's going to kick massive ammount of ass. |

You really don't like the multiplayer Halo, YaWhateva?
That's what made the first one so special, it's fun as hell to play with a few buddies.

I'm getting Half-Life 2 (only for CS: Source...I haven't even finished HL1 single player yet, I can't get past the marines, they keep bombing me out) and my roommate's getting Halo 2 so...best of both worlds, for half the price! Woohoo!
If you didn't like Halo multiplayer, you must not have played a 16 player game with 4 networked Xboxes and TVs. You're not gonna beat that with any other console FPS, though with only 4 players, I think Goldeneye 007 is still close disregarding graphics. (yeah yeah, perfect dark, well I liked Goldeneye better, plus it didn't crash all the time like PD) Last edited by n0nsensical; 11-09-2004 at 01:16 AM.. |

The HL2 Beta played, felt and looked better then what i've seen of Halo2 (official retail) take that as you will. I too found Halo 1 boring as crap. can you compare PC games to Xbox games?

I had to go with both on this one. Although I'm only waiting for Half-Life 2, the only reason I'm not playing Halo 2 right now is lack of an X-Box.
I was playing another firstperson shooter. Killzone-- total crap. I compare it to Halo and find myself wanting more Halo. I'm looking forward to all the Mods Half-Life2 is going to have and I definitely wanna check out the new physics and gameplay. |

HL2 for me. Sorry, I didn't think Halo was anything to shout about. Upgraded graphics- check. Vehicles? Awesome. Story? Mediocre (could have done a lot more with it imo). Level design? So fucking terrible that it just about brought the entire game down for me. I assume Halo2 won't have this problem because they aren't rushing to release it like they did for the original... But I will probably just check it out at a friend's house.
Half-Life, while having lesser graphics, is still the superior game in every other aspect (minus vehicles). Original HL multiplayer blows compared to Halo, but the mods surpass. I'm not doubting Halo2 will be a good game, but I didn't think the first one deserved "omfg this is the best shit since hot lesbian sex" award. |

Also, the level design is the suck for Halo because of the platform. With a controller you can't have people focusing all over the world because of the PITA it is to see around. So you ended up with fairly linear levels a la Doom. They did a descent job at hiding it and you would probably never realize it. Supposedly they fixed it for the PC version, but that game was two years too late.

I already bought Halo 2, and will most likely get Half-Life 2. I think the two games cater to completely different types of gamers. I'm actually surprised that people make so many direct comparisons between PC and Console games. Some people just can't get used to playing games on their computers. They don't have the time, resources, energy or knowledge to install the game, make sure all of the hardware is compatible, upgrade hardware. I personally like the customization that PC games offer, but many people find it daunting. The gameplay of PC games also tends to be less accessible to the mainstream gamer (my opinion). When console games are hard by default, people complain (e.g., Ninja Gaiden on xbox).
Halo 2 is easy to play in the sense that all I have to do is load it in my xbox and that is appealing to many people. Xbox live is so easy to set up and on my connection Halo 2 is almost completely lag free. It's also very accessible to many types of gamers because it is ridiculously easy on the easy mode, but it is damn difficult on Legendary. Also, Xbox Live forces you to play with other people whose ability level is approximately that of your own, making online play fun for the newest player and the most experienced. Having said that, Half-Life 2 is gonna be awesome, but for different reasons, and I can't wait to get my hands on it. |

HALF-LIFE 2! I am so happy right now! too bad I have a huge test in just over 2 hours. Oh well, after that I can play some more. The graphics blow Halo 2's graphics away. There is no comparison. And the gameplay, the GAMEPLAY!!!
