Ep1 will only last you 4-6 hours. CoD2 is just boring but will last you 10-15 hours (sp only).

Yeah go with call of duty 2, more for the money there, hl2 ep 1 only lasted my one night at 3 hours and wasn't anything that great, what a waste of money.

CoD 2 is more of a multiplayer game.  If you like it you will get alot more time out of it than half life 2 ep1.

Yeah I would say ep1 was more like a mini-expansion. Not much of a game.

You guy's are mssing one thing out. Counter strike: source, a great game and i have nothing negative to say about it. Im going to include DOD in this too, purely because its so hard to play, and i like the fact thats its impossibly hard. COD2 is great fun, and yes, multiplayer is fun. Its like quake deathmatch only in world war 2 lol, nades act like artilery on that game. But i find that quite anoying on occasions.

I've never played DoD, so I can't comment on it. CS:S is great fun if you can find good servers and a good group to play with. I dabble away a little time, here and there, in CS:S still.

If you're looking for a FPS, I wouldn't really classify HL2: Episode 1 as a FPS. You do play from a first person perspective, but you hardly do any shooting. You run around for the most part with that stupid gravity gun...needless to say, I quickly grew bored with Episode 1's game play.

CoD2 is much more entertaining, although it differs from the original CoD a bit, game play wise. You'll spend a lot more time in CoD2 then you will in Episode 1. Spend your money on CoD2 first.

CS:S is a great game if you have the patience to train - you'll get pwned the first 50 rounds you play.

COD:2 is a boring sh$$ fest and HL2 Episodes are very short.

CS:S is a great game if you have the patience to train - you'll get pwned the first 50 rounds you play.

COD:2 is a boring sh$$ fest and HL2 Episodes are very short.

1. CS:S and DOD:S

2. Half Life 2:Episode 2

3. COD2

CS:S is insanely easy, if you have to train to be good, quit fps.

CS:S and DOD:S package is the best deal. 2 games for the price of half a game?

Everyone has been talking about ep1, but the poll is ep2. If you enjoyed HL HL2 and ep1 and cant get enough of the story then maybe ep2 is for you.

I have been told by three of my friends that cod2 blows compared to cod and cod uo. And usually when the sequal looks better but is worse its a horrible game. yeah think thats it.

COD 2 Sucks BIG TIME. Really BIG TIME. Even worse is 3rd one... You're MUCH better off with HL: EP 1 or 2 (which ever one you were intending, since 2 isn't out).

That statement is absurd.  In CS:S you only play against human opponents - because you play against one another and only one team can win, it couldn't possibly be "insanely easy" because half the players lose *every single time*.

Unless you cheat, CS:S is extremely challenging for noobs because they are playing against skilled gamers who have honed their CS:S skills for months or even years.  You may be really good, but that means you pwn people left and right... which means CS:S is certainly not easy at all for your victims.

This is a perfect argument for quality over quantity.  CoD2 is a nice, long game but it gets extremely boring after about 30 mins.

Episode 1 is extremely fun, and is entertaining for every single second.  However, its about 1/3 as long as CoD2.

So, it really depends what your looking for: a generic shooter with good value, or an awesome shooter that could have been a few more hours?
