excellent choice

and they knew about Half Life 2 because it was one of their runner ups, along with Metroid Prime 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3. Also, if you read what they have to say as to why Halo 2 was better than the rest, I completely agree. They really nailed it. Halo 2 is fucking brilliant!
 
Just cant beat that Halo 2 live experience. Half Life's single player was miles better, but CS, has all been done to death.

Doesn't surprise me. They're extremely fond of Codename Eagle, Battlefield, and pretty much any LAN/Online game involving vehicles.

They were also one of Halo's harshest critics.

To be fair, originally they weren't. They gave it an extremely high score.

Later down the road in a now-famous article, they wrote how they feel Halo is extremely overrated and how they now see the score they gave it was unwarranted.
 
They gave it an 8, though from the text you would have though it was less.

Still, this represents quite a turnaround for them on Bungie's series no matter which way you slice it.

They gave it 85 and whinged about having to use a controller......

You see kids, PC centric reviewers are evil.... just ask the schmucks at firing squad who delibrately gave Halo 2 a 7/10 just to prep up Half Life 2 on gamerankings.
 
There was so much quality this month...

I'd probably go with MGS3, though. The experience was truly outstanding and the ending has become my favorite of all time...

Not Half-Life 2? That's pretty surprising to me...though, I love both pretty much equally.

Half-Life 2's deathmatch addition wasn't released until December and wasn't a factor in our Game of the Month voting. For multiplayer out of the box, gamers were treated to a remake of the incredibly popular Counter-Strike. Good stuff, but ultimately not as sexy as Halo 2's online play.

Pretty shady excuse. Fault HL2 AI and AI bugs if you want to bring it down.

Huh, yeah it's good. It's just buggy. But the gameplay is there.

Well, I guess it isn't BAD...

It's just that, compared to the insane depth (for an FPS) of Halo 2's multiplayer, HL2DM is pretty bare bones and not nearly as enjoyable. :\
