Half Life is THE greatest Shooter Series ever conseved! Um... Halo 3/Gears of War/My ass/Ninjas>Pirates>Half Life 2 The game is horrible. It makes no friggin' sense. What the hell is so great about Half Life, besides the great physics engine. Seriously, the game has no idea how to work. One lone scientist in some kind of body suit against an evil Tyrant and his army of soldiers and Tri-pod ripoffs and some kind of zombie made from little crabs that latch onto your head? That's retarded. I played Half-Life 2 on the Xbox and was very dispointed. I had heard the game was good and all, but it was just plain crap until I got the gravity gun. Then it became a little funner. Then I had to suffer through Ravenholm which doesn't even make any sense. Did the developers put zombies in the game just to add some scares? I mean come on! The Flood in Halo: CE are scarier than those headcrab things. Seriously, Half Life 2 is nothing but a tiny stain on the white shirt of shooters where Halo and Gears are ragged bullet holes tinged with the blood and soul of players.

I think that it rides along on the strength of the original.

Until multiplayer was added neither Gears nor Halo could compare to Half-Life 2. I will admit they should have shortened the vehicle level in the beginning but Half-Life 2 is still awesome. However Gears of War story mode sucked ass.

Yes, but multi player is an important part of the modern shooter. Thats why Bioshock shall not be as well remembered or a "good" as Halo. The same goes for Half life

However on the PC Half-Life 2 has plenty of online mods like counter-strike that provides that multi-player aspect, and TF2 is good enough for the 360

Unfortunatley that is a modification, rather then the games original purpose. I'm willing to bet that the multiplayer is sorta sucky...

Fair enough, I still have been enjoying Half-Life 2(same with BioShock) more then some other shooters so I kind of hope they make a few more SP shooter with lengthy story modes. Don't get me wrong I love playing with friends online it is just nice sometimes to sit back and enjoy a well planned out story driven shooter(or any game for that matter) and the MP for every game mentality some people have seem to be ruining that.

I know the feeling. I was only recently introduced to the real multiplayer aspect of games, but realize that I have grown to like the story much more then the multi play.

Hound. Thank you for your opinion. Sadly it is the same as many online losers(You are not a loser of any kind), which originates from not knowing where things come from. My opinion is that Halo 3 sucks becuase all I can play is story. If the story sucks, then the game itself sucks. Half Life 2 has a great story, while being able to be played on my crappy computer. Now if you'll excuse me. I am off to play WoW, which has been condemded by this site, as the Soul Stealer.(Or something like that)
PS. Portal is part of the Half Life storyline. Apparently.

They sort of half-referenced it in Ep. 2, yes. I kinda have to agree about Halo. Though I don't think that it's story sucked, it was definitely no where near Half-Life's level.

Ogren, that whole thing I said was partly fanboyism. Yes, I do have Live and I enjoy being able to play online against other people like Me and Loki, but I too enjoy a good story. Most games I play are shooters and RPGs. I'll admit Halo and Gears had crappy stories, but only because they were made to cater to the shotting aspect of games. The stories were really like the various settings; only there to add a little more to the game besides blowing shit up and killing waves of enemies.
The reason I don't Half Life 2 is because it was a game with a story that made no sense to me and a sub par shooter. The only thing that made it stand out was the Gravity Gun. I've already discussed my opinions on that.
I'll admit I do like Halo 3's multiplayer better then the campaign. That's why I play RPGs like Star Wars: KOTOR 1 and 2, Jade Empire, Oblivion, and Two Worlds(even though Two Worlds is a half done piece of shit that I won't stop playing until I beat so I get the 370 point achievement for beating it). I play RPGs for the story and the ability to make a powerful warrior/mage/whatever that can summon demons or sneak around and assinate people.
Half Life 2 on the other hand has none of that(IMO). That's why I despise the game.
