an awesome multiplayer game, despite horrible single player. chances are that anyone complaining about the game is:

-a retard
-a noob, and is currently getting their ass handed to them every game on xbox live

also futures a ranking system that everyone thinks shows how "good" they are, despite the fact that it doesnt.

the best video game in the world, it's almost like a bible to all video gamers!

A game for Xbox 360 which has become a severe addiction for anyone ages 11-30. Gamers usually spend most of their lives playing instead of going out, dating girls or guys, etc. Usually the base of teenage gamer's lifes, basing the mood their in that day on if they ranked their level up or down. Some players are whiney 11 year olds who loose 50 - 2 then try and get the skilled players banned for "modding" even tho their lose is cause they suck. Most players are legit, although some do mod. Most players and "hardcore" gamers hit puberity yearss after they should because of this. Overall, a desiease which can only be stopped by puberity and maturity.

I know there's enough moron's definitions for it on here but i gotsta throw in my two cents. Apparently there's a huge feud over halo2 and half-life2. i have beaten both, which is pretty easy, and for single player, both games had the SHITTIEST endings ever, but half-life kicks halo's ass in single player, but since halo 2 has online, and awesome multiplayer, i play that most of the time

A game in which guys who have no life spend hours killing one another.

Halo 2's features are clearly advertised, duel wielding! X-box live!, destructable vehicles! But once you get the game you pretty much know what it has(not the storyline, the features).

What you first play Half Life 2 you are surprised at every turn. Its the enviroment, its the feeling that wow, this level looks like that place I drove past on our trip to LA. OMG i can use the gravity to pick up scanners and use em as buzzsaws, OMG the pulse rifle secondary fire vaporized that guy, OMG i just dropped that car on those zombies, killing them instantly, OMG i can roll nades into gun turret holes, OMG my crossbow bolt pinned the guy to the wall upside down by his leg, or OMG this blue gravity gun can pick up enemies and throw them at other enemies. I know I've played ravenholm about 3-4 times just cause its awesome killing zombies with the Gravity gun.

And look how far Half Life has come, people are still making mods for a 6 year old game. Imagine what they can do with the source engine!? Half Life 2 will last much longer than Halo2 and I bet Microsoft is trying to make Halo 3 as fast as possible so people don't lose intrest in the Halo series. Whereas Valve will take it's time because Half Life 2 isn't gonna lose intrest anytime soon.

An overrated shitty game, very much like a regular 1st person shooter. Not revolutionary whatsoever, bad FPS, sucky graphics, kind of fun gameplay, but not really. Multi-player adds a little fun to it. Half-Life 2 owns Halo 2. Just to name a few things, HL2 is revolutionary, completely built-from-scratch engine, best physics engine around, best graphics of any game right now, unbelievable AI, and contains Counter-Strike: Source, which is 10x better than Halo 2. Received many Game of the Year awards, and a 9.8 on the game reviews - highest rating ever given to a computer game.
