...but seriously. If its just what we get, then its definately HL2. Comon man, THE SOUNDTRACK.
I'm almost a true sport: buying HL2 Silver and playing Halo 2 at my friend's house till the game breaks, I collapse, or I fail out of school. Either way it's all good.
I thought Halo 1 was quite lacking, boring campaign and only two good maps for multiplayer. But I do understand why console fanboys might think it's "that good" and some even think it's better than half-life.
Am I the only one who found Halo1 mediocre? But I still agree HL1 was the best game of its time, and continued to be so for years, and even today ranks up there with the best of the best.
Halo2 barely interests me. Of course, not owning an X-Box factors into it, but I do play on X-Boxes at college, and with friends... and it still doesn't really interest me. Half Life 2 has me rivetted in anticipation. I'm only **** that it's coming out at the same time as Metroid Prime 2, and I can't afford to do all three of the following:
1) Buy Half-Life 2 2) Buy Metroid Prime 2 3) Eat on a regular basis
its pretty easy to tell why halo 2 is beating hl2, some people got their xbox JUST for halo, and i mean we all know that hl2 is gonna kick it but consoles are n00b friendly. if u asked 10 xbox owners, all of them would say that halo 2 outclasses hl2 in every way. if hl2 is anything like hl then we will all be playing it more than 5 years down the track.
most console people dont even know what half life is... but they know counter strike!..oh "yeah my friend plays that, and age of empires" common quote of xboxer

1) Age of empires [2] was good. I still want to play that again.. except, Dawn of War is fun as well. Two different RTS games, i want to play both <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> 2) Duhh, you can't include the mods with HL2! I mean, that's like rating the usefulness of a TV based on the channels available, or the VHS/DVD technology! I mean, all you can really rate are the pixels on the screen.. tasty.
I think the <i>extreme</i> Halo fans are numerous and dumb. Have you seen how stupid these guys are? Half Life fans have the most intelligence it seems, and at that most are doing more important things that browsing the Gamespy boards for polls. However, I myself am anticipating Halo 2 with my head between my legs, but I am looking forward to Half Life 2 more...

I am the biggest Halo fan I know, yet I love Half-Life and numerous other games such as... wait a minute, pretty much every multiplayer game I play regularly is a Half-Life mod. Well, I love them both and I don't see why you have to lump people into certain groups because some ignorant fools you know think Halo is the only FPS out there.
When Halo first came out, I thought it was the greastest FPS on console at the time, besides of course those of us who still played Goldeneye. (N64)
Yes, I did know about HL, and yes I knew about CS (Which is why I never played it before) a lot of my friends in college were playing CS, which is why I stayed away. Then I found NS, and it was beautiful.
So, I say Halo 2 will be excellent for consoles, however HL2 will be excellent for PC gamers. Thus everyone wins. Unless of course gearbox decides to butcher Halo 2 for PC.. then I shall have to destroy them utterly and entirely.

Hl2 = incumbent king of FPS that hippies have grown unsatisfied with, unfortionately the silent majority will come out and bash them back into their place as the losers = bush

Half Life 2 edges out Metroid, and I gotta eat.
Not true.
