		<description><![CDATA[Jon fjorg, you i must say are full of CRAP. First of all, ive played halo 1, 2, AND 3. their story-line is shit. Ooh, go shoot aliens that want to kill all humans. I like the halo games. but their story aspects are nothing special. Also, halo 3 and halo reach where made in 2006 and 2010. More advanced tech. Half life 2 was being developed from 2000-2004. At its time it was shocking. Also, Better customization? ARE YOU SHITTING ME? DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT A MOD IS? oh, you dont. you play 360. Half life 2 has millions of fan made maps, items, and even Entire games based on the engine. halo 3 you can wear recon and paint your face blue. real customizable. And also, Half life 2 was not meant for multiplayer. it was a single player experience where you where supposed to enjoy the story. Yes, halo 3 has better multi-player than half life 2 (Hl2 HAS no multiplayer) But multi-player in halo 3 isnt very unique. just basic shoot the balls out of people with lasers. The animation and dialog in HL2 is part of the story and not very many games have beaten or matched it. And you dont just slam the f*cking keyboard all day jerk.

Halo is a good franchise, but Half life 2 is in my opinion a better game. Dont talk shit about games and the players because you never played for more than 10 minutes and love to play console. Play hl2 on the pc and go look up &quot;Half life 2 moddb&quot; and scroll thru the mod section or buy gmod. Btw: half life 2 has a build your own map program. its just not in-game because if it was it would suck butt because you can just add crap to pre made maps.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[i have recently played half life 2 and my first thoughts were a bit mixed, i thought the start of the game where you were taken to some kind of prison camp was a very interesting way to start, to then having to escape.
i thought some of the level designs were very well done and the graphics were top notch, some puzzles were challenging(which i appreciate in games) and i thought enemies were very tough at times which is a good challenge.

A few problems i did have with the game was the game play, now i do like first person shooters but i thought the game play was very bland at times shooting countless number of enemies, i also found that even if under cover you could be shot at which was another gripe i had unfortunately.
and people saying this game was easy i have to disagree, maybe i suck at these type of games or what but i did find game play annoying at times with enemies being way too difficult.
i also think they could have widened levels so there was more to explore and a map would have been a nice feature.

my personal opinion if i had to give a score i would say a decent 7/10, this game wont be for everyone and at its cheap price now days i would give it a shot if you are into first person shooters.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[GG A.K.A. The judge hldm1

I don&#039;t know what the fuck is wrong with you, but you completely disregard all aspects of a good game.

Now ofcourse it&#039;s your opinion of shit gameplay and a crappy storyline, but you&#039;ve pretty much just said

&quot;hey that hollywood grade voice acting and realism in character talking/movement/animation is completely shit&quot;

Now, I don&#039;t know how fucking stupid you are to disregard stuff like that
but I think you need to come out of the closet before you deem ANY game that bad.

Half Life 2 had barely any relation to Resident Evil you douchebag. What, oohhh they both have zombies? Well hey moron, did resident evil contain aliens, helicopters and was it first person shooter?

OH that&#039;s right. You&#039;re comparing a survival horror third-person shooter with a FUCKING SCI-FI FIRST PERSON SHOOTER.

I can&#039;t help but laugh at your complete idiocy. You act like you know what you&#039;re talking about.

People aren&#039;t &quot;braindead valve brown noser kids little skill less kiddies&quot; - whatever the fuck that means.

We enjoy the game for what it is.

Another point to kick your ass which is pretty much beaten up pretty bad at this point, is the fact that Half Life 2 was game of the year in 2004, and also surpasses games up until TODAY in certain aspects.

The graphics don&#039;t match stuff of today, but the options that it was capable of (on PC) were up to Bloom, MSAA x6, ANTI-ALIASING UP TO 16x, and a whole load of other shit.

We had games in 07 that didn&#039;t even have those options.

By the way douchebag, just like I said before, Half Life WAS the game of the year in 2004.

Don&#039;t believe me? I was devastated when I saw it come first, before Halo 2 and Doom 3. That was when I didn&#039;t know about it. Little did I know how good it was.

I honestly don&#039;t know what makes you so fucking stupid to say all this senseless crap with no backup evidence, but I almost feel like not replying.

Honestly how are you so fucking stupid? The amount of idiots on this planet is just ridiculous.

Get a brain before you talk dickhead.]]></description>
