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.

Half Life 2 is too special to describe

Set apart from other games in its AI, graphics and physics engines. At what part in Halo can you pick barrels up and slam them into the enemies, when in Pariah do the enemies retreat, try to outflank you and generally don't commit suicide, and in UT2004, is Nikata's arse really as round as alyx's?
No, none of you can truly say that Half-Life 2 is a disappointment, after all, you thought it was so good it deserved urban dictionary's attention, didn't you?

A first person shooter that so outclassed others of the same time frame, almost no one played it on a console. But it still remains the definitive title on the PC.
It's best described in dialog.
Half Life 2: What's up man?
Halo 2: I'm cool!
HL2: Man f*#k you! You wouldn't know cool if it jumped up and bit you on yo weak ass.

HL2 singleplayer campaign > Halo 2 campaign
however....
Halo 2 multiplayer over xbox live or LAN is...priceless. Certaintly pwns CounterStrike or HL2 deathmatch any day. I lost two years of my life doing nothing much else but halo 2. But halo 2 has absolutely no redeeming value in its campaign mode.
