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.

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.

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....
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.

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.
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.

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.

EDIT - Brain... going... numb... Halo... winning.... ARGH
HL > Halo
HL > Halo 2
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.

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.
deus ex
half life
halo
over all
half life
halo
dues ex(cmon, which have you put more time in)
Mind you, looking at when it came out HL was pretty evolutionary, but that was then and this is now... sorry but halo wins.

Stop it.
While I love and cherish both Half-Life and Halo, I love and cherish Half-Life more. Though not by much.
...and HL's is any better?
Try having a scientist follow you in HL. Near-impossible.
OK, either stop it or be more funny.
