Both games are going to be cool. The advantage of them being released at about the same time is that if you get stuck on one you can play the other one and keep swapping between.
I guess this always happens when some one opens a thread on Half-life 2 some one always comes and makes a big deal out of it or how halo 2 will destroy half-life 2. To say the least halo 2 looks like a great game i saw the 5min trailer good stuff. But if anyone here who likes halo knew anything about games it is that Half-life set the standards for modern day FPS. Combining great A.I, weapons, and of course the plot and hero. I Know that Half-life is 5 years old but with the technology of today Half-life 2 has just about as great of a chance to be WAY!!!!!!!!!! better than Halo 2. I mean Half-life wasn't named game of the year by more than 50 publications world wide for nothing. And i cant wait till Counter Strike: Source comes out!
Hey, maybe you should get a life. I'm a fan of both HL2 and Halo 2. Halo 2 for its kickass multiplayer, Half-Life 2 for its incredible interactivity, and graphical animation.
Get a life, dude. If HL2 is all you play, you really need to climb out of the hole.
hes right. so stop the bigotry. the only reason I even favor halo 2 is because my computer cant run half life 2. I appreciate a good game, and i try to remain unbaised, and so should you.
(even after making the post in direct reply to a halo2 rleated post. you can say you didnt say anything about it, but we know what you really mean.)
I find your view of halo lovers almost offensive. sure, we may be in love with an old game, (but then again, so are all the half life fans). give credit where credit is due. now excuse me while i go and try to do more work and moddifications on my other PC so it can run doom 3.
man, i didnt realise the release date was so close!
i did the system check, i got all green which was nice! and as halo2 has already been released and broke sales records and stuff, i can hope people have spent there hard earned cash, which means more chance of me getting a copy of HL2 day of release! saying that i reckon it will do just as well as halo2 sales, both games have a considrable fanbase behind them.
and on a unrelated note, i see some of you halo fans are here, can i ask, do you know if there will be a PC port of halo2 anytime in the future? be nice if there was.
Why would anyone need to climb out of any hole? if they prefer one game then that's that. no on needs to really do anything, dude. But i do say : that if you haven't played a game[halo], you shouldn't talk about it [unless you know a lot about it].
Ah, variety is the spice of life. If you play one game, and one only, you'll never know what you were missing out on. Like when my computer was too crap to run the new Counter-Strike.
And what're you talking about, me not having have played Halo? Course I have, man. And yes, I know a lot about the first one. Not so much about second, I was just playing multiplayer on Lockout and Ivory Tower the whole time.
And I ain't really dissing HL2, if you're wondering. It's very good.
