Halo > Half-life, I have played both and Halo's story and gameplay filled me with awe, and Half-life simply couldn't do thatYou're forgetting Half-Life is almost three years older than Halo. Also, you might not like Half-Life's storyline compared to Halo's because Halo is more about action and less about horror, and thus you might like the futuristic space-opera backdrop over the post-modern sci-fi horror theme of Half-Life.
Exactly. It's all about opinion.
You state that Halo simply CANNOT be a better game than Half Life 2; that's just your opinion. An my opinion is that Halo is superior.
Here's a list of games you suggested that are better than Halo, and I why I think not.
Half-Life- very old, overrated, scientific based plot not for everyone.
Half-Life 2- can be considered better than Halo, but a matter of opinion.
Counter-Strike- very old, outdone by Source in every way, no single player, no plot, gameplay quality now debatable.
Counter-Strike: Source -Good gameplay, no singleplayer or story, no music, no unique artstyle or any character for that matter.
Battlefield 2 -buggy, laggy and glitchy game that few would consider the best game ever
Battlefield 2142 -not much new over BF2, no plot, and be honest, who the hell would consider this game the very best game ever made?
Gears of War -overrated shooter with pretty rubbish plot, music is too rare (admittedly ok when it is there)
F.E.A.R. -bland, repetitive shooter with its fair share of critics
Age of Empires II -not played this, will not comment.
Company of Heroes -hardly played this, will not comment.
Super Mario -possible contender for one of the most influencial games ever, but when compared with games like Half Life 2 would you REALLY consider it better?
Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion -Rushed, watered down a lot for the consoles, not as good as it should have been, underwhelming main plotline.
StarCraft -Yes, a very good game that exceeded expectations, perfected the RTS genre and set the standards high. Good music, good plot. Bit old though. StarCraft II should perfect it all again.
World of WarCraft -not played, will not comment.
WarCraft III -worse than StarCraft.
Final Fantasy VII -not played, will not comment.
Super Smash Bros. -not played, will not comment.
Remember, this is all opinion. But I think many would agree with what I've said.
