Agree.  Overrated. Halo for PC looked pretty, but was just ok in the gameplay department.  I like my weapons to have sights (not just a reticule that lights up) and shoot lead (not energy impulses).  For those reasons I found all but the sniper rifle very unsatisfying to shoot. 

Comparing the two, HL2 wins because it’s pretty and has fun weapons that are closer to current day.  I’d much rather blow the head off a zombie with my shotty than shoot energy blasts at aliens.

I've seen Halo 2 played on console, meh.

MY opinion is Halo is overated. I watched clips from the video game playoffs the other day and of course the only game being played is Halo. Halo has gotten great ratings across the board and was game of the year I believe. But seriously, its not that great. I have played Halo and Halo 2 and became very bored with it very quickly. I understand it set the standard for online console games, but why does this game get to be the ultimate in videogame showdowns and tournaments?
Completed it for the first time on the PC, my god. That was lame and soooo linear. The story is quite interesting if incredibly shallow. The game play is that of a crap version of Doom or Quake. Overall it sucks my balls. Quite literally.

I find that most people i know that flip over Halo have never played a great deal of FPSs to begin with.

Its not bad, but you like you said it overrated (imo) (yet, probably the biggest single artistic source for bf2142)

I think part of the appeal to Halo is it's simplicity. Pretty much anyone can just jump in and start playing without having to learn complex controls, special moves, tactics, etc. I think it's the most fun game for console LAN parties.

Errrrrr I read somewhere you received your last temp ban...next strike and you're gone?

So telling mason to stfu for absolutely no reason doesn't help your cause IF the above sentence is true.

Where did you read that? I've been banned 3 times already and I'm still here, and I did not tell mason to STFU, read the first page, I explained it all...

Halo 2 sucked at first, but it grew on me. Mainly because I learned the secret of the assault rifle.

Take a plasma pistol, get a full charge, shoot an elite with it, then one 3-round burst from the assault rifle in the head and they die....sooo easy, sooo fun.
