Technically Half-Life 2 will be much better. I think Halo 2 will be more fun. So i think it will come down to the individual. I think if you like realism Half-life 2 will be better for you and if you like more of a gun blazing rush kind of game Halo 2 will be better. As for game of the year i think i will be split between the two or neither will get it because the market has been flooded with shooters this year and id say its hard to really single one out over the rest(personally i think a great game that is different from all the others i.e. Ninja Gaiden will surprise a lot by winning GOTY). Its unfortunate that Halo 2 is coming out for Xbox only at the moment or i think it would hold both categories because there is no way that it can compete with PC graphics, and if i was a reviewer i would be hard pressed to give a graphically inferior game the GOTY.
I find Half-Life much more unrealistic, for several reasons. For one, MC is a super soldier, therefore it makes sense that he is so strong... Gordon is a scientist... next, Halo is in the future, thirdly, there is no recoil in Halo because a Spartan honestly wouldn't feel it (2 ton suit), now finally, you can only hold two weapons. Whew... any ways, I think Halo 2 will be better in gameplay, multiplayer, and storyline, therefore in my opinion, the clear winner is Halo 2. And I personnally don't even see what is gonna be so great about the HL2 storyline, I mean IMO Half Life's story wasn't that great, it barely kept you connected. Any way, they will both be great games and I will definitely get both... I will simply play Halo 2 a LOT more...
