The guy has no idea what he's talking about. I thought he had some sense until he called halo 2 bad, then he was just being ignorant.

Halo 2 Vista: Dual wielding, smaller amount of people per server, borading, easier custom map making/modding, biped model in both 3rd person and first, vehicles you can blow up, better AIs.
Half Life 2: RTR, Rag dall bodys, laser sight homing rockets, self shadowing.

thats all I can think of.

Half-Life 2 > Halo 2.

Sorry.

As far as I'm concerned, however, this was definitely not a fair comparision. He showed two videos--one showed Halo 2 in multiplayer, the other showed Half-Life 2 Episode 2 in its only format, the single-player story line. Maybe if he compared the two game's single-player missions, I would have taken this seriously. Plus, you can't really compare these two games together and see which one is better since they aren't even out yet.

The few, the proud, the leet.

Oh yes, lets compare an aging SM2 console game against a SM3 game which is probably getting a SM4 overhaul atm. Aside from that, it's pure opinion. It reminds me of all the shows on the newly formed G4 channel comparing Halo 2 on the Xbox to Half-Life 2 on a 1920x1200 monitor running with the highest end video card on the market. Halo 2 received 9 out of 10s while Half Life 2 received 10 out of 10s in visuals. By that reckoning, I suppose their heads would explode if Halo 2 were running on the same resolution.

edit: clarification.

Agreed, you're on the money.

It does? I'm too stupid to remember what it is off the top of my head, but it's probably nowhere near as innovative or as cool as Half-Life 2's gravity gun.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Nevermind.

There was a mod somewhere in the Halomods forum that had a pretty 1337 gravity gun. If I could find it I'd link to it.

Yeah, but can it turn any object into a weapon or a tool that can aids you?

Probably not, Halo's physics has problems handling object collisions. As I'm sure you've all seen two hogs bounce off each other like rubber. A better comparision would be H2Vs multiplayer vs. HL2:Deathmatch. (killing yourself with the gravity gun is hilarious)

Half life is better, there is no doubt about that. But he made it look Halo 2 was bad, which it's certainly not.

Sorry Bungie fans, but VALVe's Sci-Fi world is far superior to Halo's. Not only does Half-Life have a rich story, but you can ignore it all together if you want, not just skip cutscene and try to figure out what happened, plus, VALVe puts you as an actor, actually doing what would normally happen in a cutscene. I could ramble on, but I won't.

Plus, Episode 2 comes with TF2, which I have been waiting to play since I first played TFC.

I posted This response a while ago, to make fun of the guy. Now, don't get me wrong, I own\love Half-life 2 (But not counter-strike source, that sucks). It is just that I think the guy is an idiot.

That just shows you that Halo 2 was successful, that doesn't mean it's a better game. You want to know why Halo 2 sold as well as it did? It was the sequel to Halo, plain and simple. And Half-Life 2 is cool.

Yes it will.

Console. Remember that the human race as a whole, while pretending to be intelligent, is in fact not. Why else would we buy a PS3 or believe people like Al Sharpton, Ann Coulter, and Rush Limbaugh? The fact is that PC gaming is not as popular because the hardware is more expensive (really though, if you thought about it you could buy a good PC and then consider the video card a "console" if you want to justify paying for a pc... but that would be off topic!)

And of course there is Steam. There are two moments in history that show you how futile and unjust this world is- The Dark Ages, and the day I installed Steam.

How can you even compare H2V to Half-Life 2?

First off lets consider the cost of these games shall we.
Halo 2V costs $50 PLUS Vista $90-110.
Half Life 2 Episode 1 cost $20, So Ep2 should be $20 or $30 PLUS Team Fortress free, plus Half Life Deathmatch

Half-Life 2 Wins hands Down

Next lets examine requirements
Half-Life's Source engine is VARY scalable with low requirements (1.2ghz 256MB DX7 card) and will run VERY well at Halo 2's minimum specs.(had a 6600 for ages, HL2 ran great) Plus XP support
Halo 2 REQUIRES at least 2ghz 1gb of RAM (which hogs nearly all of that) and a 6600/x700 plus vista

Half-Life 2 Wins

Sure halo 2 supports LIVE, but have you ever heard of Steam? It contains nearly all of the feature of LIVE minus achievements and minus the price. Live is great, but it features can easily be assembled from Team speak and Xfire

Draw

I love Halo 2, and will get it for Vista, but I think you guys should really consider that just because it is a Halo game, it can by no means compete with the technical likes of ANY modern PC shooter in terms of graphics and in some cases value. M$ is really taking us for a ride on this one.
