If you HAD to choose between HALO 3 or HL2 the Orange Box which one would you pick, and why?

The orange box has a lot of content, and Halo 3 has online multiplayer!

Tough choice, but I'd go with Halo 3.

I'm getting both, but If I had to choose, I'd pick halo 3 and then download TF2, Portal and HL2:ep 2 individually off steam.

Orange box, especially for Portal and Team Fortress 2, let alone HL2 and Episode 2. Blows Halo 3 away.

Since I already own HL2 for my PC, then I would have to say Halo 3. Get HL2 forthe PC. If you don't own a good PC, then get the console version.

halflife  NO DOUBT. Its simply a better game. Even though i havent played halo 3 i have a feeling it will dissapoint. The beta blows IMO. Nothing special about it. Hopefully they can make a good SP this time around. Ill be getting both, but playing HL2 much more. Plus portal looks sweet.

If it was just HL2, it would be a better choice than Halo 3

Half-Life has always been a better franchise, so I vote for Half-Life 2.

This is probably the hardest poll I've ever voted on... and while I'm enjoying my H3 beta... and am a Halo fan, I just think that the value in Orange Box will be better.

Um HL2 has online Multiplayer and someone can make a Halo mod for it. i'll choose Half life 2 oranage box and play a game no one knows about. team Fortres 2

 

Halflife was just announced as one of the greatest games every made today by gamespot this isn't even a question.

Half life 2 orange Box easily....Far better single player(You do not even need to play both to know...HL2, E1, And E2 combined are greater then H3 Single, Not to mention Portal is a single player part where you design puzzles and stuff). Multiplayer...This is tough. From what Ive been hearing...Halo 3's multiplayer even exceeds Halo 1 and 2s. They have been saying the balance of the weapons in the game is probably the best ever in a game which is a great thing.

black box for me since i already own the other stuff that comes in the orange. If you're a console gamer though, definately get orange box, it's got a lot more content, more variety, and is most likely a better game than halo 3 will be. By the way, it has online multiplayer, unlike the original poster seems to think.

I've had Halo 3 reserved since last August. Halo 3 will w/o a doubt be the best multiplayer this year & one of the best SP.

Why make me choose? :cry:

These are my two most hyped games at the moment but Half-life 2 is the better deal so I'd probably go with that.

Haven't you heard the terrible news? There is no black box, valve has cancelled it and are only offering either the orange box with 3 seperate product keys (1 for hl2,1 for ep1, and 1 for the rest) or buying the game seperately off of steam.

half-life 2 is my favorite game...no way im missing EP2 for a most likely bland game and half-life 2 has multiplayer, you just gotta pay 10 bucks for it...
