    Half-Life should be winning by such gigantic perportions it should not be funny. Being 7 years old its replay value has not changed the constant mods make it that much more enjoyable.

    HL > Halo
    HL > Halo 2

    Sorry guys, but I'm a Halo addict and I think Halo > HL. But not by much.

    I don't see what's so wrong with Halo. I mean, its not an XBox only game, its on the PC now too.

    I'm voting for Halo. Halo > unmodded Half-Life.

    Because I think Halo has the 2nd best single player ever and Deus Ex has the very best.

    Oh yea, and the split screen multiplayer is worlds better than internet competition, you can actually strangle your friends when they camp the tank.

    Mind... numifying... brain... dying.....

    Halo has repetitive level design, crap AI, rubbish plot with a crap twist in the story so they could rush the game...

    The only good thing in it are the vehicles.

    ...

    Games had split-screen way before halo

    If you want to strangle your mates go and play a LAN...

    Oh and yes DX does have the best single-player of all time but Halo doesn't come within the top 100....

    My personal opinion of some people on this forum just dropped a notch.

    Half-Life>All

    It has the best FPS AI since Half-Life's grunts. Maybe you're just playing on normal? Legendary makes them smart. And it's not Bungie's fault that Halo was rushed out, it was Micro$oft with their Xbox. They had originally planned to make the Flood AI just as smart as the Covenant's, but ran out of time and gave them a simple Serious Sam type behaviour.

    Yeah but it still has that "re-engineered for a console" feel...

    'Nuff said.

    And the AI doesn't even come close to it.

    In legendary they just seem to run away less and attack more.

    if you're gonna compare games then I go with the halo crew... sure HL has some nice mods but the mods aren't the game. HL's single player felt as, if not more, as repetitive as halo in the level design stakes, or didn't you notice that you seemed to spend almost the entire game looking at concrete walls (omg! a concrete wall with different paint!!!). And plot-wise I think halo wins... I actually cared about the characters and stuff in Halo while every sci and barney I met was either extra ammo or a plot device to me =/
    Mind you, looking at when it came out HL was pretty evolutionary, but that was then and this is now... sorry but halo wins.

  • dr_ddr_d Join Date: 2003-03-28 Member: 14979Members
    Uh well let's hope the HL players wake up and start voting, this is probably just a late start and HL will overcome. Halo might have been revolutionary on the x-box but it can't touch HL on the PC.

    Oh boy, not even a fair battle. Quite likely, any anti-CS fanatic out there is going against halflife now.

    omg i was refreshing the page and halos is going up like 40 every 5 seconds, someone must have there comp set up to do it auto matically

    they should let ip adresses vote only once for each matchup.... it would give pc players the uppper hand though, considering many have multiple comps

    Halo is ahead by almost 7000 votes.

    While I love and cherish both Half-Life and Halo, I love and cherish Half-Life more. Though not by much.

    On a scale from 1 to 10 in my opinion:

    <!--c1--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->                     Half-life  vs   Halo       Winner

    Multiplayer:    9                  8            Half-life (very close call.. mods pushed it over)
    Single player: 7                  8            Halo (very close I think)
    Storyline:       9                  7            Half-life

    My vote.... half-life, but by a close margin. If it weren't for the mods and additional features with half-life, it would have been Halo.

    Don't compare graphics/engine on games that have a time difference of more than 2 years... it isn't fair

    Holy **** Half-Life is getting dusted! I never expected this!

    Actually Jimmeh, the Grunts in Half-Life just seemed smarter because you really only fought them in close-quarters and they tossed a lot of grenades. The only other difference is that the Grunts had corresponding radio commands to go along with their actions as a team, something the Halo AI does quite well, but of course you don't know what they're saying because they're alien. None of the aliens in Half-Life had better AI than the Flood except for the shock troopers, and they were made by Gearbox. Halo PC was also ported by Gearbox, and they did a terrible job. The fuel rod cannon completely unbalanced multiplayer and the excellent vehicle physics from the original seem to have been lost in translation.
