I want to talk about the look of Halo 2 when compared to Half-Life 2. I know, I know, graphics aren't everything... it's all about the gameplay. Well, I haven't played either of these games, so I'm going to write about what I have seen.
I'm sure Half-Life 2 is technically past Halo 2 when it comes to graphics, but Halo 2 still comes off looking better in my opinon. Why is that? Well, I think it is because of the skills of the ARTIST at Bungie. When I watch a Halo 2 video, or look at a screenshot, I feel like I'm looking at a Picaso (famous artist) painting. Halo 2 is impressive on a different level than graphics, it's art. Half-Life 2 comes off looking impressive, to say the least, but it's more, how do I put it... of a "technical" nature.
When I watch a Half-Life 2 video, I think to myself... Holy Crap! That looks so freakin real! When I watch a Halo 2 video, I scream out loud... What the----(With my mouth wide open), it's so amazingly pretty. It's like putting a Playboy model next to a Victoria's Secret model. They both look amazing, but in my opinion, the Victoria's Secret model will always come off looking better because she is wearing art over her already georgeous, impressive body. The same thing applies to Halo 2. The game is already graphically beyond most games, but the artist at Bungie have "dressed" Halo 2 in art. Am I making any sense?
(This is in no way a "bashing of Half-Life 2". I'm sure it will be a VERY impresive game.)
