State why you think Half Life 2's gameplay is better than COD's

Does anyone here remember this scene in half life ep 2 where you had to take out the striders?

No part in any COD game is as good as this 1 Scene!

Yes i remember that part!!! That was like the best scene in all of the COD games. Especially when you play on the hardest difficulty. Took me days to beat that level.

Half Life 2 understands pacing, something that Call of Duty will never understand.

I think Valve dropped the ball a bit with some of the weapons, in comparison to the first game. The SMG is pretty rubbish, and the pistol is a joke in comparison to their HL1 counterparts. The combine rifle is a nice addition though, and the crowbar, magnum and shotgun are still killer to use.

Half Life game (especially 2 and the episodes) tend to have way more variety than CODs, especially since CODs have been repeating the same gameplay situations since COD4.

Hell there was more variety in Episode one than there was in Black Ops, MW2 and WaW combined.

Half Life appeals to the creative part of my brain, CoD appeals to my shallow part. Half Life doesn't force you into attention through explosions, it does it through challenges, something CoD completely lacks.

It's like the difference between The King's Speech and a pr0n.
