What was hype and what's real will be decided when it's released.
That it will be the best game on Live? That's hardly hype.
Multiple modes and a plethora of options to tinker with? Sounds great and all in a cheat free environment.
and don't bother bandying about the word 'stupid'.
For me Halo 2 is going to be the top-end of the existing FPS market, and Half-Life 2 is going to be the start of the new FPS market.
Of course I haven't played either so I'll reserve my judgement until I do.

No because I have played the Beta and I know how good it is.

Half-Life 2 deserves far more hype than it currently has.

It lived up to mine as well.
But it never lived up to all the hype everyone was giving it. The single player campaign was heavily criticised by many, as was the lack of decent storyline and many other things.
Oh and the counter agent mode although it was a nice idea, it really didn't work at all.
It's the same thing.
