Its gonna be close, but i say no. I think it'll be Farcry because it was just so innovative and surprised everyone.

Well, the original Halo got game of the year, so there's no doubt in my mind that Halo2's going to get it.

I was reading something on IGN by one of people who played Halo 2 at E3. He had this to say


Could I Want This Game More?
I want Halo 2 even more than before. Look, I'm a huge Conker fan. In fact, Conker's Bad Fur Day is one of my top three favorite games of all time and I am just dying for the remake to be in the office. But after playing more Halo 2, nothing -- not Half-Life 2, not DOOM 3, not Fable nor Jade Empire -- is higher on my list than Master Chief's second romp on the Covenant. Is this game gonna own? F' yeah.

Having seen the other games at E3 and having played Halo 2 multiple times, I have to say that the E3 demo alone is one of the best Xbox experiences out there. Will this be "the best game evar?" I dunno. Maybe. The only way to know for sure is to play a lot more of it. You hear that Bungie? Hello? Anyone?

farcry is not innovative, halo was, it started before most famous fps were out, like the battlefield games, etc, halo 2 will still beat half life 2, ive seen videos of half life 2:
Here is the best of each category:
graphics: half life 2 (slightly better)
physics: half life 2 (slighlty better)
gameplay: halo 2
controls: halo 2
A.I.: halo 2
Game modes: halo 2
Multiplayer: halo 2
Single PLayer: Halo 2
Online features: halo 2
Equality: halo 2
Enemies (animations, diversity): halo 2
polygon use: halo 2
innovation: halo 2
popularity: halo 2
story: halo 2
music: halo 2
more addictive: probly halo 2(the way half life 2 looks)
and halo 2 would beat doom 3 easily, and it would beat half life 2 in many other categories

its going to be REALLY close with half life 2.

all you fanboys that say half life 2 will be no where close can suck a sock. half life 2 is going to be one of the best games in the world. (below halo 2 of course) :P


the physics of half life 2 are ragdoll. H2 isnt using that..how can that slighty better? have you even seen the videos? the physics are god in half life 2.

I would say it would be close because those damn ps2 fans will buy san andreas why were buying halo 2. But Halo 2 will take it and that will show all those ps2 fans out there which system is worth getting.

Well personally i think there are too many shooters for any one of them to become game of the year. Half-life, Doom, Halo, Killzone, GTA San Andreas, Far Cry, STALKER, Splinter Cell, and so on. There will not be enough difference betwen any of them except for Halo 2 and GTA in gameplay. The others are just graphics with no heart as far as Im concerned but it would be hard to pick either H2 or GTA with the technological achievements of the other shooters. So to stray away from a shooter I'd have to say the game of the year will go to the most different and yet still technologically impressive Ninja Gaiden especially with the new content coming out. I dont necissarilly(sp?) agree it should be i just dont feel a large seperation within the shooter category enough to set any apart from the others. [/rant]

This year sucked for gamers. The Square gaves us another crappy Final Fantasy and Nintendo failed to do anything. The Xbox did what is always has, gave us slightly better multiplatform games and mediocre exclusives......To think I payed around $300 to play Halo and its sequel. That may be good enough for some of you, but I consider it a ripoff until MS brings decent exclusives to the table.

As for GOTY, Halo 2 will receive it undoubtedly. It's got horrible competition, but I have to admit that there have been worse GOTY's. You do know that different places give GOTY to different games, right? Gamefaqs will give it to Final Fantasy XI, Gamespot will give it some piece of crap (like always), and IGN will once again put the "IGN" in ignorant. Halo 2 will probably most deserving of the award imo.

The original Half-Life was much better than Halo, but it got turned into hacking/lagging central. So now I consider Halo to be the best FPS in the last few years.
