No.

Halo does do it better. Like I said, Halo has better graphics, sound, AI etc. All the things improve over time.

However, I had more fun playing through Half-Life start to finish than I did Halo.

That's what I meant.

Contradiction in terms there. One minute you are saying Halo did better it and the next you are saying that you think Half Life is better. Do you mean you prefer Half Life or do you actually think it is better than Halo?

Like I said, Half-Life is five years old, if Halo didn't better it I'd be a bit worried about the state of the industry.


Although I think Half-Life is better.

That's the thing, Halo hasn't really done anything new.

All it's really done is taken elements from other games and shoved them all together, it's just done so well though.

One thing that I wasn't particuarly impressed with was the last few levels, all they did was take levels you'd already played and have them backwards with different enemies. I still really enjoyed them, but it was pretty lazy of Bungie to do it like that.

If they can sort out the repetetive indoor areas and some of the level design then Halo 2 will really be something special.

Heh.

Half Life was a building block for most FPS titles.

Halo was just an exception. Cause it bettered Half Life in every way.

That's because when it was made they didn't have the capabilities to have so many enemies on screen at once.

Halo's added nothing other than what every game gets as time progresses, better graphics, sound and more things on screen at once.

Halflife's really nothing like Halo. Other than having guns and shooting things, which is the same with any other game in the genre.

I can't remember a single time in Halflife where I was fighting more than 4 or 5 things at the same time.

We are speculating and there is nothing wrong with that.

Woa.

Already everyone is comparing unrealeased games to other unreleased games, when the fact is we don't know fook about them.

And you know what?

I don't really give a damn if Half Life 2 is better then Halo 2, cause the fact is - i'd rather enjoy the game then compare everything!

Jeez.

But that isn't a bad thing considering how amazing Half Life was when it came out.
