Perfect Dark Zero vs Halo 2 vs Half-Life 2

The ultimate showdown everyone has been waiting for.

Let's look at the facts:

Halo2 = 9.4

Half-Life = 9.2

PDZ = 9.0

Now, Halo 2 and Half-Life 2 came out near the same time, and it's clear that Halo 2 deserved the higher scores as it is much better than Half-Life 2. However, PDZ came out long after these 2 games and yet still scored 9.0 after Halo 2 raised the bar for FPS.

So, IMHO, PDZ is clearly the best FPS out there right now, or at least a top contender. Halo 2 is the best game I've ever played, and Half-Life 2 is just meh, i mean, it's not even popular.

I love you gamespot.

Halo 2 got a higher score than Half Life 2 because the Xbox's standards for FPS's were far lower than the PC'....

it was Half Life 2 that got Shooter GOTY that year....

No one take this seriously its a joke.

Well at least I hope its one.

what are you talking about? Halo 2 revolutionized FPS as we know it. Online multiplayer, capture the flag, 16 player servers! Seriously, get your facts straight.

yeah, okay this is a joke thread...I wasnt quite sure before...but this just made it painfully obvious.

Its kinda sad everyone judges PDZ by its SP.

32 online multiplayer with upto 16 bots..for a launch title.

Yeah right? I'd been playing online with 64 players by the time halo one came around buddy.......The xbox just had low standards compared to pc, capture the flag? what game didn't have this? even console games.......16 player servers? ....that just weak

Almost took you seriously. Good troll thread.

Overall, not even considering the time (mainly talking about pdz) when they came out, but overall quality now:

Halo 2 > Half Life 2 > Perfect Dark Zero

graphically however, PDZ > HL2 > Halo 2

S***ty remake vs S***ty sequel vs Awesome game

... yeah I would probably go with the awesome game too.

Probably a joke thread, but I'm not 100% sure. There HAVE been Halo fans who actually believe Halo 2 revolutionized FPS. :lol:AvIdGaMeR444

lol! i really hope that you are being sarcastic :roll:

EDIT: oh,you are

I was like "omg does he really think that halo > half life??"

what mechanics did Halo 2 introduce to the FPS genre?

throw grenades with the L trigger? ZOMG!!!

ive been throwing grenades with the G key on my computer for the past 10 years.

hopefully it is a joke :?

HL2 > any other shooter + GS + Systemwars

no, nt really. When a game sucks you in so much that you continue playing it after a next generation until its sequel, you know its good. I was done with HL2 in 2 weeks.

Halo 2 lasted to Halo 3. Wouldn't have been done if it werent for that.

HL2 is a lot like Bioshock. While both are good games, they're not as good as they say, and it's rather short and it doesn't last.

Half-Life 2 > Halo 2 > Perfect Dark Zero, imho... oh wait, I'm speaking truth!BioShockOwnz

u r right!! half-life 2 was out before halo 2 and the graphics r still great compared to most games. perfect dark is just a fail from what perfect dark was like on the n64.

see...people even today play Half Life 2...its kind of a classic game...the game lasted far longer than Halo 2 for most people....and I guarentee you the vast majority of people consider Half Life 2 a far greater game.

Halo 2 on pc = 7

Speaking about standards...

It got great score on console because there is not competition and standards are not so high as on pc

Starsiege Tribes. Had more vehicles, more weapons, more features, bigger servers, tons and tons of mods, equipment (including rechargable shields), a dueling system, oh yeah, and JETPACKS. It was amazing.

oh and my mistake, it actually came out in 1998.

Large Setpiecies- too many to list.

Rechargin Health- Tribes

Limited Arms carry- pretty much every semi-tactical shooter out their

vehicals- tribes

I seriously doubt that. While im sure a few people pplay it still (hell, someone played condemned for 700 hours on xbl), it is not really a replayable game like that. I seriously doubt that the average person can honestly say they played HL2 that much. It's about a 15 hour game. I played thousands of games in halo 2. And when I say that, I mean thousands, not just 1-2.
I know plenty of people just like me.

I can't win this debate though on the fact that Halo is the most hated game series in this forum

that would be implying that Halo was the perfect form of a shooter...which its not.

and yes HL did have a decent story, deffinetly far better than Halo's...in fact, Half Life was the first game to seriously bring storytelling into an FPS.
