There has been much more H2 info released than HL2 info.


Um...I was talking about gameplay video footage...and HL2 has a lot more gameplay footage than Halo 2

on my hard drive just from E3 2004 there are two gameplay videos..both just around 11 mins long, and then from E3 2003 I think the video footage was 30 mins long. I can' t find that much footage of Halo 2 anywhere.

On my computer I have two 11 min videos from E3 2004 and then there was a 30 min demo from E3 2003...just about all the footage in the video are filled with gameplay, not interviews or whatever else.

Half-Life 2 and Halo 2 are fundamentally different after you get past that they are both video games and FPShooters.

1A-Half-Life 2 is shooting for hyper-realistic environments this time around. There'll probably be no acid trip known as Xen.

1B-Halo 2 is going for a semi-realistic look to it. While the game is going to be very pretty, the very nature of it's story (set in the 26th century) prevents a hyper-realistic environments.

2A-Though some may point to the lack of cut-scenes in Half-Life as a strongpoint of it's storytelling capabilities, I disagree. Half-Life story is honostly quite weak when compared with Halo's story.

2B-Halo's story is beautiful and complicated. It's the story of Humanity's desperate struggle to survive; a man who has given absolutely everything to his people and has repeatedly received pain and hardship as his reward. He's watched most of his family die, and has the fate of the world resting upon him and the other Spartans. Awesome.

3-No other game holds a candle to the nuclear explosion that is going to be Halo 2's multiplayer experience. Not one game will come close.

My verdict: Half-Life 2 will be a great PC game. It will be very pretty, and people will go crazy over it.

But...Halo 2 is a revelation. Bored up the doors, put duck tape over the windows, nothing of this magnitude will be seen again until Christ returns.

As for the immature comments as to imply if we didnt like half life then we are 3 years old. I been playing games since i could walk. Ill be 27 this october i hardly think my opinion is inexperienced. I have owned almost every gaming console and almost every major release. I have played all the main fps pc games. Its my opinion i didnt like half life and didnt understand the big deal surrounding it. That does not make my opinion wrong. You guys on here are so quick to talk smack on people. Give people a little respect. Just because you like something doesnt make it wrong for someone else to dislike it. I am ok about the flaming of trolls tho i cant stand their -blam!-. peace

W.O.W..... have you played half life 1? it was absolute genius, anyone can understand the plot (as long as your not a complete moron like some people on this thread obviously are). And besides, we are comparing the sequals, not the originals, they are not part of this, you cannot reference them at all, as that is not related, we are talking hard evidance here. And my honest opinion is that halo 2 will be more pick up and playable, whereas half life 2 will demand extended sittings for you to really get into it and enjoy it.

Verdict:
Though seemingly similar games, they are vastly different and should not be compared as they are here (not to mention on a halo 2 website, thats just unfair) I think

winner:
halo 2
close second:
half life 2

your right man, we shouldn't judge a game badly just because of some bad features. each game has its pros and cons

Funny Sig., JiggyJello.

I personally think Halo 2 will be a lot better. I think Half-Life was a great game (but I can't find it fun anymore, just like Golden Eye), but overall I think Halo was way funner (thats not a word). Not Because of the graphics or the awsomeness of the sound, but the formula of the gameplay. It was just...fun. It never really got boring, while Half-Life bored me after the first play through. I played Halo though many times, and still think its fun. That's why I think Halo 2 will reign supreme. Plus, isn't being your very own spartan a lot cooler.

If anyone compares Halo 2 over Half life 2 by graphics, your a retard. Of course Halflife 2 is going to have better graphics. Thats because the game is being ran on a computer and they always get better and better.

anothing thing is half-life may have the graphics, but halo has the color. those colors are what catch your eye and make you look to the left side of the screen as a cloud of pink swarms to you.
