Halo 2 I couldn't get into, I still havn't gotten very far in it.
Doom 3 scared the pants off me, I couldn't finish it, I'm weak.
halo 2 would have been the top one but the story cuts off in the middle so it sucks
doom 3 was just old school doom with better graphics not much inovation
Doom 3 sucked.
HL2 was everything I've ever wanted in my sex life.
Doom 3 - Amazing to look at, some cool fights, some fun weapons, but unfortunately gets very boring at some parts
Halo 2 - Halo 1 with dual wielding and the ability to steal someone else's vehicle.
This is my list, from best to worst.
Doom3 got boring, though i was scared to finsih it, i wasnt scared into uninstalling it
Half-Life 2 was the best thing that ever happened to me, i cant tell you how happy i am with this installed on my computer.
Doom 3 sucked.

what the hell...you have sex with HL2 or something?
Half-life 2 i liked more for the story, doom 3 had a awesome sense of atmosphere and was very creepy. The horror never became jaded for me. Flying crying baby/fly hybrids.... :O
Combine look very sweet...
Halo is...well, halo. The holy grail for consolers

Some things are best not questioned. And on top of that, it's funbags, nothing can surprise me any longer with him.

Well, I mean, what else do they have? Goldeneye? Don't make me laugh. FPS will always be our domain, not theirs.
To this day I love going back to my N64 and playing some Goldeneye / Perfect Dark. Don't diss 'em.
Half-Life 2's incredible atmosphere almost made up for its almost complete lack of gameplay and lackluster story. It wasn't really like I was playing a game, but I still managed to have lots of fun anyway.
Doom 3 had better gameplay and a better story (how sad), but it just wasn't as enjoyable as HL2. Maybe if it had more straight up action scenes, which it does very well (see the "Trap" that Betruger springs on you about halfway through the game) instead of squandering its potential on poorly done horror it would've been better than HL2.
Halo 2 I haven't actually played, but the cutscenes (<a href='http://nikon.bungie.org/misc/cutscenes/' target='_blank'>I've seen them all</a>) tell me that it had a better story than HL2 or D3. The gameplay is slightly better/slightly worse/exactly the same as Halo 1's depending on who I'm talking to, but I don't see how they could have possibly made the gameplay of Halo worse than that of HL2 or D3 so I'm going to assume that it wins in this category.
The real winner is Far Cry, though, which you conveniently forgot to mention. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Hey I love it too man, but the year is 2005 and the answer was NO yesterday and it's NO today.
Doom 3 scares the pance off me. Things popping out for the darkness scares me most.
The game gets to a point. "Oh Armor down that hall, Let us take another route." Not done with it but the final boss is a pushover (cheated to get there :b) I do plan on finishing it sometime.
Halo 2 I have issues with. Game felt cutoff at the end.
Multi-player(4 person ffa): Vehicles are useless with rockets on the map and over-powered without rockets. I prefer the Halo 1 style rockets without the homing option. Vehicles need to kill things faster when you ram someone with it. Halo had an insta-kill which was fine(maybe a bit overpowered) but in Halo 2 you hit someone at 90mph and most of the time they bounce off the windshield.
I haven't played the patch enough to get a good feel of the nades now.
I would play Halo 2 for built in multi player. HL2 for the single player and D3 had some good immersion. I can play the game fine with god mode but take it off and I freak at the slightest pipe burst.
Would you say that's good or bad though? I mean, some people really hate that because they can't stand to play it if they think they are gonna get violently raped by the monsters. Especially if they want to go for the real deal and play it on Hard. (Playing it on normal or easy really takes the scare factor out when the damn monsters die from 3 quick hits.)

It's good that it can immerse me enough to get violently freaked out yet the only reason I haven't beaten the game is because it does that. I am not the type of person that rents horror films. I don't think I have even seen a complete Aliens movie. "The Village" scared me 'til I figured out what was going on.
It really depends on if you like that sort of thing.
One problem I did have with D3 was the overall darkness.
One mission was to restore power. With the power restored, IT WAS STILL DARK.
And I wasn't even a big fan - I much prefer Halo 1 - but HL2 was a little underwhelming and I haven't even bothered to, like, finish Doom 3 because it got pretty repetitive.
Half-Life 2 is by far the best.
Doom 3, for some odd reason, kept crashing at the menu, but I formatted my PC now, and I'll try installing it again.
Halo 2 - Nice single player, multi-player isn't as good.
And what is up with all the darkness? It's not scary, it's just annoying.
Cos it has Source.
And soon NS will get Source. And then everyone will smile. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Halo was good single-player, dunno about 2nd one.
Doom 3 never played.
Halo 2 didn't compare, but I only completed it on normal. I keep meaning to go back and finish it on heroic, but Resident Evil 4, you know..
Adventure/immersive action - HL2
Arcade shoot-em-up - Halo (haven't played Halo2...but I would assume its basically more of the same but better)
Atmospheric shoot-em-up - Doom3
Basically, I would say HL2 is all about putting the player through a multi paced adventure and it really excels in immersivness thanks to the physics, style and character implementation.
Halo, while a very good game I thought, lacks somewhat in the atmosphere department but makes up for it with the sheer fun of combat.
Doom3 isn't really innovative in many ways but it is still a good trip to go through. Although it has a story, it doesn't really lend much to the direction of the game which is really just about succumbing (emotionally) to whatever monstrosities might happen to amble into your path.
I think HL2 wins though because it's the only game I've played in a while which really makes you <i>think</i>. And not just about gameplay elements, but about the story - who you are, why you're doing what you're doing, how the world is the way it is, just what the hell is going on etc. The whole story of the HL universe is almost a game in itself, a riddle which still isn't answered. Everything in Doom3/Halo that I've seen is basically spelt out to the player so they can just get on with shooting stuff. Play HL2 and you'll see elements of the story refracting around the levels everywhere.

And not only that, but there's so much emotion at work in HL2 too. You can see it in the characters faces, in the dialogue, in the events...its just a work of art.
HL2 was way too short, buggy (did they ever fix the sound stutter bug?), had unforgivably long load times considering their frequency, a crappily "that's it?" ending, and <i>terrible</i> team AI. Oh, and the vehicles were pants and Source's graphics were ultimately a disappointment, especially when it came to shadows. It had only a handful of memorable sections too, and the way every chapter was a different style (starting out with no weapons, airboat, resident evil, buggy, antlions chums, etc) was jarring and badly-implemented.
Doom 3 had splendid lighting and some very cool levels (the delta labs especially), the graphics engine shone throughout the game, and was only let down by low-poly models. However, it was re-pet-it-ive beyond what is forgivable, and quite in contrast to HL2 it was overlong - I was bored after I came back from Hell, and it also felt like the game wanted to change style after hell too, from something creepy with monsters in the darkness to simply something that throws lots of big bad guys at you.
I think I enjoyed HL2 more than D3, but its flaws are pretty serious.
Which is better out of HL2, H2, and D3? <b>Far Cry</b> <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

DOOM 3 is good if you like getting scared. Its FLIPPIN SCARY.
Halo 2 was a sad dissappointment in every way. Not one fun mission, no story development, bad cutoff. It was just bad, unless you wanna get it purely for multiplay, of which, HL2's is better anyway.
Oh wait, i'm not a Valve/mod fanboy, Doom 3 it is.
Yeah, a revolution in physics that happened over a year before the game was released. <i>amazing</i>.
