Halo 2 vs. Half-Life 2
I've decided to compare these two awesome FPSs because I can.

Graphics
Halo 2- The graphics have improved quite a bit from Halo. The game is so shiny and beautiful, even if they screw up a little during cutscenes.

Half-Life 2- Wow. Just wow. These graphics are soooooooo much better then Halo 2's, but there's one problem. Every five minutes, the game takes 2 years to load the next part. this brings it down a little, even if the graphics make unworthy eyes bleed.

Halo 2 Graphics- 8/10
Half-Life 2 Graphics 8/10

Gameplay
Halo 2- Run, hide, shoot, vehicle segment. Wash and repeat. Helps that it's pretty fun, even if it's the same thing.

Half-Life 2- Every other level has a new theme, always keeping the game fresh.From normal running and gunning to using a super gravity gun, the game is always fun and never the same.

Sound

Halo 2- What can I say? It sounds good.

Half-Life 2- See Halo 2 Sound

Halo 2 Sound-10/10

Character Design
Halo 2- The characters look pretty cool and have small characteristics that can help locate them out of a crowd.I heart the Hunters and Elites.

Half-Life 2- All of the characters make you feel how they are suppose to. The zombies, Colmibine, the G-Man, even the little seeker things make you feel how they should make you feel, even if the Antlions are stolen from Starship Troopers.

Weapons

Halo 2- So much varity, so much awesomeness. The SMG, Fuel-Rod Cannon, Energy Sword, and more really help this game be fun. Plus you can always find ammo for the guns, usually, duel wield, and you can melee all the time. Too bad you can only hold two at a time.

Half-Life 2- A few cool guns that always run out of ammo when you watnt to use them the most. And you can't melee unless you have the crowbar, so if you're surrounded and you needto reload, you're screwed.

Halo 2 Weapons-9/10
Half-Life 2 Weapons-8/10

Story

Halo 2- Convenant attack Earth. Humans fight back. Humans go to Halo. Elites betrayed by Prophets. Humans and Elites stop Halo from going off. Cliffhanger ending. Awesome. OMGZ THPOLIERZ!!!!1

Half-Life 2- Gordon comes back. Fights Colmbine. Starts revolt. Destorys teleport to Zen. Gets saved by G-Man. Insert several plot twists in between. Awesomer.

Multiplayer
Halo 2- LOLZ NEWB!!1 I PWNS YOU WITH ENERGY SWORD! HEYZ, NO SNIPING YOU FEG! HAH, I RUN YOU OVERZ LOLOLOLOLOLOLLOLLOLOLO!!!!!!111one. Yeah. It's fun. Real fun.

Half-Life 2- The basics right here. Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and Capture the Flag. It's still a little fun. It's something you play once, say " Hey! This is midly exiciting!" and never play it again.

Halo 2 Multiplayer-10/10

Final Score

Halo 2-9/10
Half-Life 2-8.85/10

To me, Halo 2 is a better game then Half-Life 2, if only by a little. End of story.
