God that is too far away!


Ain't that the truth. I have a feeling Crysis will blow the socks off both Halo 2 Vista and Half-life 2 Episode 2. Though one obvious reason is that it does suppourt DX10...
Don't forget it will offer innovative, new, fun game play and amazing physics.

And, of course, Half-Life 2 Episode 2 isn't a full-fledged game--it's a small episodic extension of Half-Life 2.

Don't forget Crysis will make you pay a pretty penny when it forces you to buy a new computer... or at least upgrade to the absolute latest, cutting edge computer gaming technology (some aggrandizement present) to run the damn thing. Though, if that is the price one must pay to play, then I will gladly do it.

Yes, HL2 EP 2 is "a small... extension" as you say, but it is introducing some major technological improvements than Half-life 2 did in 2004, thus making it a contender to Halo 2 Vista. Things such as cinematic physics, "higher end" on the graphics side, a new particle system, and better artificial intelligence and physics. The later a game is created, the better it should look.

I still contend that Crysis will blow the socks off both Halo 2 Vista and the next installment of Half-Life 2... but who's to say really?

Cheers.

I would love to see Crysis with cryENGINE 2 even more.

On a side note here, I would like to mention that the Half-Life series have sold over 16 million copies while Halo and Halo 2 combined have only sold 12 million.

I'm so sorry for bumping this thread, I don't know what got into me.

Half life 2 Smokes halo 2 on the pc. Always. i mean halo 2 vista is the same game just a little more polished and some extra maps with a editor. with hammer editor you can do way more than that. And plus this extension might not be the only thing valve has got up their sleeves. What if they shock the audience with Half life 3!!!! oh its on now.

*sigh* My orange is so much better then your apple, but when this peach is ripe it is so going to wtfpwn both of them. STFU already. Look as much as I would like to bash the living -blam!- out of Valve I don't. Over a year ago I bought the Half-life Platinum pack cause I figured I would get the backstory on the franchise and see what all the hype about HL2 was about. I have NEVER EVER been more disappointed in a video game in my life then I was in Half-life. But i keep my opinion to myself because thats all it is ... an opinion. And opinions are like -blam!-s, everybodies got one and they always stink. Thing is I don't particularly want to smell all of them.

Half life 2 Episode 2 Owns Halo 2 in almost every aspect.

The story is so well developed, The weapons are balanced, graphics are unbelievable. H2V won't have HDR. I heard someone say Halo 2 Had better AI. And they must have just crawled from underneath a rock. Half-Life 2 has some of the best AI in game history. Halo 2 is epic fail.


1st of all... go back to 4chan you /b/tard.... ("epic fail" *rolls eyes*) Why the hell are you on a Halo forum if it's made of so much fail, huh? Is a little /b/tard trolling? You people are good for that....

2nd: You have a point w/ weapon balance... Halo2 does have a pretty bad flaw in that respect. However, I really don't find the HL2 weapons all that fun to use. The HL2 weapons bore me. Both the pistol and the shotgun sound like they're made of plastic... And, am I the only one who gets bored w/ the gravity gun after a while? Yeah, it's neat for a few hours and then.... meh.

3rd: Well devloped story? My ass... The only story I can get out of the Half-Life series is that some alien things are attacking and they jump on your head. And some guy's w/ helmets are shooting you, and that the main character is a nerd. Honestly, I think Half-Life has a rather weak, and fleshless storyline. Either that, or I'm missing something... Halo on the other hand, has a wide open, simplistic, yet detailed story. Granted, it's not groundbreakingly profound, but at least you're not playing a game wondering what the hell is going on (like I did w/ Half-Life and Half-Life 2). That, and it has 4 novels and a Graphic Novel as canonized back story. Halo's story is simple enough, yet fleshed out really well. And, personally, I hate the "cut scenes" in Half-Life 2. I don't enjoy being stuck in a room while people talk for 5 minutes... On the other hand, you can skip a cutscene in Halo if you wanna move on...

4th: Some of the best AI in game history? That's funny... obviously you've never played F.E.A.R. if you think that's good AI. WooHoo! Half-Life2's AI can throw things, shot at you, take cover, and DIE! That's great AI there. I honestly think that both HL2 and Halo2 have fairly good AI, but neither are particularly amazing... And, now that I think of it, F.E.A.R. is better than Half-Life 2... I had more fun w/ it, at least...

5th: Go back to /b/...


ok i know as a fact that this guy is talking crap to a game he has never played. And i know that all he knows is halo. If you had or played hl2 you would shut up instantly.

All opinions are equal, but some are more equal than others.

as every one already knows half life 2 ep2 will be ten times more of a success than halo2 vista because it has a way better platform steam. I mean like alot of people said in their reply

the options in half life 2 are way more vast and expandable. and you don't need to buy a whole damn new operating system to run it for people that aren't willing to spend the money. and the best thing about getting half life 2 episode 2 when it comes out. YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO GO TO THE STORE TO BUY IT!!! That is what steam is for. It is a giant online platform that you can buy then download games and it stores it all in one area and even detects fragmented games. So it can defragment it so the game runs at its best on your computer. halo 2 vista is already screwed up at launch which those guys at valve are laughing at em for.
Bungie is a great console game developer but when it comes to pc games. Please, leave it to the pros. Even valve did a great job on half life 2 for the xbox.
and i do know what that halo2 vista scheme is about. I mean how can you not notice it, It is a marketing strategy.
even alot of people agree in here that halo2 vista isn't going to do anywhere near as well as all the source games. Cause again source is more modifiable and more expandable.

Mircosoft shot them self in the foot by putting h2pc only vista (don't give me that games for windows live, we don't need Achievement points or be able to cross [platform chat ), I did upgrade to vista tho its on second partitio(I need to learn vista for work). UT99/quake3/4 will have more players than halo2vista cause userbase of vista is much smaller than xp and expecting gamer on the pc to go run out buy vista, a 3 year old console game that came out when there was UT2k4,Far Cry, Half life 2, Doom 3, all of which were better than Halo 2(maybe not Doom 3 depending on your view). Plus HL2:EP2 is going out on PC(STEAM and Retail), PS3 and xbox 360, so its going to sell alot more than Halo 2. Halo has to be one of the most dispointing games after seeing how it got GOTY, its is the worst GOTY i have ever played

Half life wins
