I was talking more about immersion not the actual stories or characters involved. The combat in Half-life 2 is much slower and a lot more random(at least when shooting weapons). Halo 2 is more skill based combat wise because the acuraccy hardly diminishes when shooting so as long as you aim well it wil do as you want. When i stated Half-life 2 was more realistic tho i was strictly speaking about Graphics and Physics in which Halo 2 is much much weaker. Therefore the immersion will be much greater with half-life 2 no matter what the story is. Many aspects of both stories dont make sense.

I think Halo 2 will Own Half-Life 2, plus Halo 2's replayability. just like Doom 3, Half-Life 2 when once your done beating it, you don't want to play it again, it gets boring, but look how many people still play Halo, can you imagine how long that people will play Halo 2??? it will win GOTY i think, lol, one game awards show, can't remember, voted Halo 2 most wanted game.. i think that proves something right there, plus, not everyone has the PC to play h-l 2, all you need for Halo 2 is just an xbox, big difference in price b/t the xbox and a gaming PC

You seriously think that Halo 2 will have more replayability than Half-Life 2? Replayability does not just mean going through the Single-Player mode over and over again, it also means multiplayer and modability. Halo 2 will definitely have tons of replayability with multiplayer, but you can't mod Halo 2. Half-Life 2 will probably have the same, if not more, replayability than Halo 2 just because of the mods. There will be millions of them!

hectic punk, valve has announced that they will not be making an xbox version of half-life 2, but there will be a console version just not in this gen of consoles. they haven't specified which next gen console, however, it will be released for but most likely that will be xbox 2.

Yes, sherlock i do, I think that many people will play Halo 2 longer that Half-Life 2, some of the mods suck for Half-Life anyway, rocket crowbar, ricochet, anyone got some more, halo 2 will be better. but for all of you that have already decided that Half-Life 2 or Halo 2 will be better, like i said that halo 2 will be, we will have to wait and see, lol, i was just kidding with you all by the way, and um sorry for calling you 12 year old fanboys and for the record im 16

Just because there are mods doesn't mean they will be good. I personally wouldn't probably play a Halo 2 mod, because I like it left the way it is. BTW, I am NOT a Counter-Strike fan and never will be... I just don't like its style for some odd reason... I like Call of Duty, America's Army, and plenty of other shooters... sorry, no CS for me.

I still say that Halo 1or 2 is more realistic than even counter strike.

I don't know who would play the mods, people want Halo 2 for the multi-player they have come to know and love... mods will only change that perfection to a lower level (my personal opinion). And if somehow there is mods, I wouldn't play them, the thing I like Halo 2 is for its own multiplayer. And with the options given for MP... well... mods won't be that necessary.

I agree, Halo 2 will be so good, who needs mods??? and by the way a wise man once said, "I wish PEOPLE would stop talking about a Halo 2 killer, because their isn't one"

Can you tell me what will happen in the year 2552? No. By the way I'm talking about MP so don't go telling me that Marines can take a bashing and not die. Present day however, I find America's Army and RS3 (PC) to be the most realistic. Then I guess CS. But tell me, how realistic CS really is if you can be shot with no side effects and still go running along. Not so. However in Halo, his suit covers that and quickly fixes the wound. The only thing unrealistic about Halo are the plasma weapons... they should be way more destructive.

Edit: And just to tell you America's Army does have that need little bleeding system in case you didn't know and with "red" health you walk slow as hell.

Edit: Edit: I forgot Operation Flashpoint, definitely the most realistic in most ways (a bit more real than real life, hehe), but lacking in the graphics department. I just hate how you practically can't hit ANYTHING while moving... even at close range. You also may not have heard of it as it was more popular in Europe I believe (no I do not live in Europe).

u both r right, half life 2 is the only competitor, but will still be blown away by H2, and by the way, come on about Halo being realistic, have u read the books?........ in first strike there's a crystal that can dify gravity and stuff, and plenty of other stuff that's not realistic that i dont feel like writing down

i didnt read the whole thread, but this what i think:

Halo 2 has better:
music
plot
story
gameplay (SP)
gameplay (MP)
a.i.
characters
game modes
bump mapping
controls (probly)
weapons
vehicles
equality
game modes
made by better company (bungie, if u cant figure out what im sayin)
more popular
it easy for any person to play, like frankie said in update
online features
profile customization
and so much more i cant remember at the time.

Half Life two has better:
graphics (slightly better)
physics
and has the ability to be modded, even though most mods are crap, bust there are stil good ones for it

halo 2 will always be better in many ways, i will like half life 2, but halo 2 a lot more, pc gamers wont get over that a console has the much bette fps, i have many pc fps and console fps, i lki halo the most, and will like halo 2 when it comes out much more.

plus halo 2 will probly have really goood downloadable content, it will make up for the mods
