Ok, first of all, you can't compare these games, why?........ well........
1- They have totally different Graphics, physics engines.
2- They have totally diferent storylines, halo is about war, HL is about survival.
3- Yes, halo haves the best replay value of all games i've seen. But Half-life haves the "extra" of creating your own mods of the game, wich means replay value. I mean, i still play HL mods online and i think that's a damn good thing for a 6 y/o game.
4- CS sucks!. There are better mods in HL.
5- They run in completly diferent platforms. I mean, halo was developed for Xbox, and HL for PC. Yes, i know, HL2 is coming out for Xbox too, but it is origynally meant for PC.
6- Both games are fun to play and will be.
7- both games revolutioned FPS games forever, and the way people thought about them, pointless alien/monster killing. Both games involved you in awesome stories, taking you through scary lonely stages to full non-stop action ones. I mean, remember how the freakin headcrabs jumped to your face in those dark tunnels and air ducts in HL1?, or when flood warriors did the same in 343GS?.
8- Both games have some freaking twists in their stories, Remember when you first saw the soldiers in "we/ve got hostiles" in HL1 and you found out that they were there to wipe all living entities in black mesa?, yeah, you were at the top of their list, or when you find out 343GS wanted to wipe out all life in the galaxy?.
So, here are my final notes:
Halo 2 as Half-life 2 will be the best games for a few years to come. Halo 2 will rule on Xbox untill the final days of the console or Halo 3 comes out, whatever happens first. Half-life 2 will rule FPS games in the PC for as long as people keep doing mods and developing their own stuff for the game (see number 3). So for my final note i'll just say that IF you are a true gamer you will recognize the beauty of both games and enjoy them ass well. So don't be such a fanboys and be true gamers.
Peace!.
