<div class="IPBDescription">Gamespy Grudge</div> Since the 2 biggest games of the year are coming out within weeks of each other, Gamespy has shamelessly (what's new) decided to pit the pinnacles of PC and Console FPS's against each other. Halo 2 fans have already gotten off to a powerful start, please, for the childrens sake, give Gordon a <a href='http://www.gamespy.com/articles/562/562510p1.html' target='_blank'>hand</a>.

Semi-Off Topic: I'd just like it to be know for the record that I'm a huge fan of both the Halo and Half-Life franchises, I just like Half-Life better than Halo, even though Halo r0x0z my xb0xz0rz.

    Sadly, I have a feeling that Halo will win, if not only because Xbox in general now has a much larger following than pc.

    Both will kick @ss, but IMO Gordon (And all the mods to follow...) will kick a little harder.

    Why is this even a poll? It's so damn trivial.

    ps. I would say that Halo2 would be leading because there are shiz all games on that medium <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Sure they'll probably be great games, but if HL2 is anything like HL, hopefully, I'll still be playing it 6 years after.

    I'm pretty sure these always get blatantly cheated on.

    Ed: Voted HL2.

    This is how I see it:

    Wooo! Halo 2! Well, I've finished the singleplayer, I guess I'll play multiplayer now. Wooo... multiplayer. The same multiplayer for the past few years...

    Wooo! Half-Life 2! Well, I've finished the singleplayer, I guess I'll play multiplayer now. Wooo... multiplayer. This multiplayer is getting bo- oh, whats this? A new mod for Half-Life 2? And another? And my old favorites have been ported! Joy!

    Thats why Half-Life 2 should draw more excitement (I'm not saying its better, because I want to avoid that, but Halo didn't impress me, so, yeah...).

    heh ask how many HL gamers played Halo, then ask how many halo gamers even know what HL is.


    Youd probably get something like this.

    "HL SUCKS! even though Ive never even played it and Im too stupid to know how to run a computer let alone the game so i play on my console <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> "

    Damn Micro$oft fan bois. <_<

    HL2 roxors j00r b0x0rs since you can actually MOD the damn game in it's totallity...
    I mean, WTH are you going to do with a console game that you've beaten hundreds if not thousands of times, and played for months and months of the same thing on multiplayer?


    Blah, to stale content.

    And yes, this poll is <i>obviously</i> rigged. ([erm... clear cookies, anyone?])

    Jesus man Halo wasn't even a good game.... I don't understand why it's so popular. I mean yeah multiplayer with your buddies is fun (not even as fun as HL + mods for this hour!) for an hour or so... but after that, it's real boring. HL + mods have near infinite replay value, and the engine is just far better. Not to mention the gamepad sucks for FPS shooters, mouse >>>>>>>>.

    I dunno, I guess my point is, Halo on PC was just another crappy shooter. Why was it so popular on xbox? Because they lack good shooters? The standards are lower? I dunno <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    something is very wrong here.
    Halo 2 has about 200% of the votes of HL2


    Halo 2: 6662
    HL2: 3491


    i think it's rigged

    It's probably something to do with the mentality of "consoles > computer"

    which doesn't make sense, to me. basically, they're mostly ignorant.

    Yeah.. is certaintly a little fishy about the poll. When I first checked it hl was in the lead by about 30%, which would make sense. Then an hour or so later halo was rising at just under 200 a minute! Admitedly it was about that time it was posted on bungie.net, but I can't understand why it would suddenly return back to a normal 10 or a minute.

    I'm voting Halo 2 from work.
    I'm voting Half-Life 2 from home.

    I've pre-ordered both and shall enjoy both.
    That reminds me, I need to get snacks and

    I like both games and shall enjoy both worlds. I don't expect anything from either other than to blow the crap out of aliens. I really don't know which single player will be more enjoyable and I hope that they both rock!

    Anything to do with MP=Half-Life is the winnar.

    Uh... From a technical standpoint, the HL engine has nothing on the Halo engine. Except for its modability (I think, I've never tried to mod Halo). But then, Halo is really an X-Box game, anyone who talks exclusively about Halo's PC port should be shot :O

    Technicaly Halo is a port from PC to xbox and back to PC.

    Halo is a good game but because it worked well on the XBOX and as we know consols have a sevear lacking fo good FPS games, when they ported it back to PC it turned out to be good but not a benchmark game like Half-Life, Deus Ex, Doom etc.

    I liked Halo 1, but it wasn't THAT good.
    Will buy both, but i'm not expecting much from Halo 2, mainly because i hated Halo's copypaste type of mapping. :/

    HL2... well i hope it's good, but doubt it is as good as HL was in it's time, almost everything's been done before. Waiting for some 'throw the scientist into the wall till it gibs' gravity gun mods. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
