Anonymous and I have been arguing about this for a while, and I want to get the forum's opinions. What do you think will do better in the gaming community, HALO2 or Half Life 2. Post what you think, and why.
HALO2, because 1.It's threading things used in other games, like the ability to knock Elites out of the ghosts/banshees, and taking control of it. (Jak II)You can shoot out lights to hide yourself in the darkness (Splinter Cell), and so on.
2. the enviroments are interactive. You can blow out a wall, and if you hide behind a pillar, it can slowly chip away as your fired apon.
Post your opinions

k now its my turn half life two will have fully interactive invironments you have the ability to interact with everthing .the game is unscripted which means the ai makes its own choices you drive just as many vehicles as halo 2 and you can steal them from others too. the creatures are more detailed the graphics are top of the line.you can shoot out lights.and you get a nifty little gravity gun to move things around(felt like putting that)

Hlaf Life 2, becuase it just is. Bungie is a talented group of developers, but they're still n00bs compared to Valve. Assuming HL2 actually is RELEASED in my lifetime.

Halo 2 will do better, only because it will appeal, and reach, a wider range of audience.
However, half life 2 is IMHO superior in all the other ways, IF it comes out late summer... As it is right now, the FPS market is crowded with good games like UT2k4, Far Cry, MOHH etc. So I think HL2 will have a harder time reaching more audience, esp since it will have insane system requirements...
I have been excited about HL2 for a long time (even though I don't really like FPS but I thought i'd be revolutionary) But after the whole "code stolen" fiasco (publicity stunt) I have lost a lot of respect for valve, and their words... Sorry I digress, feel free to pm me and tell me that I am wrong or something.

According to G4Techtv, the source code theft wasn't a publicity stunt. They caught the people responsible thanks to tips from gamers on the net.

Heh now you are going to make me go off topic  But i generally turn to community forums for real info (IMHO a lot of the big websites are "attached" in ways to game developers, but i won't go there yet  ) Even if it is not a publicity stunt, something in Valve is going wrong... The owner of planet HL (one of the biggest HL community) quit a wrote a letter in the forum about the "foul" state that valve is in... go to planet half life's forum and search for a post by Fragmaster and see for yourself. I am not really saying that valve staged the code theft, but I don't think they were honest at all about the state of the game. To me it is just too "convinent" that because of the code theft the game is delayed for who knows how long... I mean at that time it would be very troublesome for valve to announce a delay, by saying that there is still much work to be done on HL2, since that would upset ATI greatly... (I still have my free HL2 voucher from my 9800Pro... One day i will collect it...) my 2 cent and sorry to go OT |

Half Life 2 is scheduled for this summer.....but so is Duke Nukem Forever, probably, so I'd take it on a grain of salt.
