I would say they are equals.
And anyone who says otherwise is probably a fan-boy.

They are allmost equals except for two things that make Halo 2 better:
1) the prequel to halo2 Was better
2) Half life 2 doesnt have any ingame cinamatics and prolly wont have a recognizable storyline

They'll both be very good games. the only thing that concerns me with Halo 2 is how long the game will really be. Theres over 36 hours of gameplay with Half-Life 2.

the first Half-life was moded like crazy (so was halo). I think that sence half-life 2 is coming out on PC then it will be easier to mod for the mod fans.

i dont know much about half life and i dont know much about halo but i think they'll be great games except halo might do better because halo has a buzz about itunlike half life2. halo is talked about more so that would really help the sales.

ps i think when halo 2 come out its gonna sell the most in one day it may even set a record

I don't get whats so funny about you not being able to follow a simple storyline.

well, considering that you have limited capacity for the xbox, Halo-2 will probably be better because for a computer game you have unlimited processing power and graphics cards, but to design an xbox game that has already set perameters that requires much more skill and dedication,

beside half life was terrible had basically no plot and awful graphics (yes i know someone already said this) Halo had a cohesive plot and easily followed storyline with a few good twists (i.e the halo actually destroying the universe instead of being a aimable gun to take out the covvies) and the moniter using MC to do his dirty work (i so hope the moniter comes back in H2 just so i can blow it up!!!!!!)

Half-Life 2 will have great online play as well. Is going to have an updated version of the most popular online FPS, CS.

Cant believe you all think Half-Life sucks. I just find that unbelieveable.

really it was not that hard of a storyline. anyways when was it you played half-life, in 1998 it was the best of the best and it changed many things in gaming history. now i personally love half-life and i am sure i will the sequal, without a doubt. you don't like it then thats fine by me, just remeber that it is a huge game known by many.

As for what one will sell more i can bet you its halo 2. why? because an xbox is alot cheaper then a computer, and they all have the same specs for the most part. you don't have to worry about upgrading a graphics card or more ram. i could bet ya more people have a xbox then those who have a computer that can run half-life2 well. in the end both games will be greatly made wether you like it or not.

You do know that Half-Life was made in 1997, 4 years before Halo came out. I think that should justify the graphics, which were state-of-the-art at the time. And Half-Life had a very engrossing plot which, since there are no cut-scenes, makes you stop and listen to characters to understand.
I'm not saying Half-Life is better than Halo, I just don't think its fair to say things like that just because you make love to your Xbox every night.

Half Life doesn't suck... it just didn't have nearly as much replay value as Halo, I've played Half Life once and got bored of it... I've played Halo countless times and is still amusing as ever. And about the story line in Half Life... I'm sorry but it did suck, there was nothing to really keep you connected in the story, it was just shoot these aliens, go in that room, shoot those...

However, Half-Life 2 will be a fun game and I will buy it... it just won't be nearly as good as Halo 2, and it is simple things, like the fact that you can carry only two weapons... things like that that make Halo 2 much better. But in my opinion the biggest thing is the story. I personally think that the story of Halo is the greatest, deepest story of anything yet (that is not just including games).

Edit: And Halo 2 won't need mods... it is already the perfect multiplayer.
