With the recent Half-life 2 in November rumors, it's possible that the game could likely launch around the same time Halo 2 does. So, if you could only buy 1 of these games for the month of November, which would it be????? I'm glad I don't have to choose, but this would probably be one of the toughest gaming decisions around.

PICK ONE: HALO 2 OR HALF-LIFE 2???

TALLY-
HALO 2= 36 VOTES
HALF-LIFE 2 = 44 VOTES

 

[Ghost]

why would you do this?

 

[HooDoo]

HL2 without hesitation, didnt like Halo one bit.

 

[Doom_Bringer]

I enjoyed Halo more than Half Life (fucking overhyped) so I would go with Halo 2.

 

[Pedigree Chum]

Halo 2 no doubt. I think I'm the only person on the face of the earth that didn't like Half-Life 1 at all.

 

[skip]

draw.

 

[Spike]

Half-Life 2 because of the mods that'll be available.

I'd steal Halo 2, though.

 

[COCKLES]

Halo 2.

I adored HL, but the new scenario and locale (Eastern Euro City) arn't doing it for me.

 

[PhatSaqs]

Halo 2 without a second thought.

 

[open_mouth_]

I'm looking forward to both almost equally, but I'd probably have to lean towards Halo 2 mainly because I preferred Halo 1 single player to Half-life 1 single player...

 

[suikodan]

Halo 2, mainly for MP

 

[CajoleJuice]

W/o mods - Halo 2
With mods - Half-Life 2
That should be everyone's answer.

 

[skip]

fyi, we're (finally!) reviewing hl2 later this month. so yay, soon!

 

[DSN2K]

I would rather have none then not both this fall.

but If I was forced to choose, Half Life 2.

 

[Forsete]

Half Life 2.

Halo bored me to death.

 

[Nester]

I can buy HL2 via Steam next week supposedly, so I'll take both. HL2 in October, Halo 2 in November.

 

[TheGreenGiant]

Half-Life 2.

The mods alone will make this the title to be rememebered years after.

Halo is overhyped; 6.8 FPS.

 

[Slo]

HL2

 

[Solid]

Halo 2

 

[Iceman]

These may be the two best games ever created... why would I even entertain the notion of having to choose?

Now I've already pre-ordered Halo 2 and I'm going to have to wait to upgrade my computer before attempting to play Half-Life 2... but that said, if I HAD to choose I'd take Half-Life 2.

 

[Rogerkiller]

half-life 2 for sure i don´t think twice...

 

[The Shadow]

Halo 2


I'd personally pick HL2 but most of my friends love Halo so if it was just one or the other, I'd rather play Halo 2 with my friends than HL2 single player.

 

[Mr. Lemming]

Halo 2

 

[SKluck]

WHAT THE FUCK.

HL2.

BUT STILL, WHAT THE FUCK.

 

[seismologist]

Half Life 2 because of the more innovative physics engine.

 

[Grey Fox]

Half Life 2.How people could enjoy Halo SP over HL SP is beyond me(Xen parts don't count )Not to mention the fact Halo came out 4 years after Half Life, so it had better graphics,physics blah blah blah.

 

[Lakitu]

Halo 2.

 

[Falch]

Half-Life 2, because of the mods.

 

[axxxj]

I'll give you a clue, it begins with H

 

[Outdoor Miner]

HL2

 

[Rhage]

I'll give you a clue, it begins with H

But does it end with 2?

 

[Pedigree Chum]

But does it end with 2?

And does it have an A or L in it?

 

[Mike Works]

Donkey Konga!

 

[shuri]

I'm getting both

 

[Insertia]

Half Life 2.

The original Halo was really boring.

 

[SantaC]

hl2

 

[jedimike]

Refuse to choose...

 

[Rorschach]

Getting both, but I'd choose Half-Life 2 for multiplayer. Yeah, you heard me right.

 

[Kon Tiki]

I like bumpmapping and shiny men.

 

[dark10x]

Halo 2.

The single player games are equally exciting to me, but Halo 2 offers co-op play AND multiplayer options that I actually care about.

 

[Coin Return]

Half Life 2 by a small margin.

 

[MetatronM]

Halo 2.

Half-Life 2 will have to wait for the inevitable price drops.

 

[Bigfoot]

HL2 (with or without mods, it doesn't matter to me)

 

[Suranga3]

HALO 2

I dont have a top of the line computer and Halo 2 online/multiplayer will be awesome.

 

[Wario64]

Neither

I'm looking forward to both games equally, if that's possible

 

[MrPing1000]

Half life 2. Halo is the most overated game i've ever played, good game but nothing that special

 

[Saturnman]

Halo 2 for me.

 

[epmode]

Neither

I'm looking forward to both games equally, if that's possible

BUT YOU MUST CHOOSE! OR THEY BOTH DIE!

half-life 2 for me, but it's very close.

 

[FightyF]

Halo 2

But I plan to work on an HL 2 MOD. I'm more interested in the engine rather than the game itself.

-edit-
Damn, saw the HL2 40 screen thread...now I'm hyped for the game...looks interesting!

Half-Life was a relatively dull, plodding single player experience. Halo 1 was the best single-player FPS since Goldeneye. Gotta give the edge to Halo 2.
