Out of the games you mentioned as Halo beaters, for me the only one that comes possibly close is Deus Ex. Metroid Prime isn't a straight FPS and its content in this area doesn't come close. Timesplitters 2 is ok and has its moments, but again I don't think it comes anywhere near.
And Jedi Knight 2 ? Your easily pleased mate. ;-)
I think its ok, but its in the MOH: Frontline region more than in the leagues of Halo, etc.
Anyway, we have our different opinions and its not like either of us will budge - so at the end of the day - meh. ;-)

There's a few first person shooters I prefer to Halo. TimeSplitters 2 for one. Metroid Prime, Deus Ex and Jedi Knight II I've also been equally impressed with - though it's up to you whether or not you class them as FPS or not.
For the future, Halflife 2, Geist, Metroid Prime 2, Deus Ex: Invisible War and of course, Halo 2 all look excellent. No-one can tell which will be best though - we simply don't have enough detail.

Oh and Untitled - nice of you to steal a little ad idea from Pot Noodle. But just remember - at least the shops want to stock Pot noodle. ;-)

So much for those crap remarks. ;-))
To this day, there is yet to be an FPS console game that can be seen as a Halo beater. At this rate, the title to finally topple Halo will be Halo 2. ;-)) Half Life 2 looks good though.

You just said that because you knew I'd strongly disagree with everything you posted; you wanted the final word :D.

I picked out those 'niggles' as examples. In my opinion, I just couldn't like the game and I wouldn't buy it. It's certainly not awful - I do think it's average (notice, not 'below') and so I can see why some may like it.
It's my honest opinion though, from extended play, that it just can't cut it against the rest of 'em and isn't worth any more than perhaps a tenner. Hell, I enjoyed Nightfire and Red Faction II more. But I'll agree to disagree, as you say - we're not going to convince each other in a hurry.

Do we care about Untitled? No.

Do we care what you sold it for?

FPS games are my favourite genre and I am also a big fan of the first 2 Die Hard films (lets forget the third ever existed). I am thinking of getting it this Friday when I finish my last GCSE.
Buy it off me Tilta!
Woo.
Tis a good game. Nothing great, but certainly worth a shot.
