Bit of a biased place to post a HL2 vs the world poll but nevermind...

Yes, but, i don't speak for everyone, so i am going to go on the basis that everyone is really hyped about it [which i think they are].
You are the only one.
No your not, Warbie isn't particularly interested in it.

STALKER should be cool but I highly doubt it would be "the best game eva!!!" or something like that. BF2 is not too bad either.

Look alright. I put Half-Life 2 as best, but I did it with caution. FarCry brought so much to gaming as far as mixing both advance combat techniques that I thought would only be at home with tacticle shooters, and stunnng graphics. Easly FarCry is the best over all shooter game in that respect. But Half-Life 2 where it lacked in its traditonal FPS action, it made up by far and past with its plot, style, acting, and the physical world.
Both had large map like game play, FarCry was able to expand a little more on it with its phenominal outdoor engines, and both had great graphics in the respect overall (FarCry did good in some areas and HL2 did good in some but both cannot be put over the other).
FarCry was much more tightly packaged, as Half-Life 2 should have been, like the first Half-Life was, but steam (for those who bought it in the store) has seriously bent the lines of paranoia. FarCry also had less obvious bugs in it, and they fixed most of them promptly. Half-Life 2 has stand out glitches with its program, for instance most bullet holes wont apear when you shoot at a target (not to mention that you cant shoot them when they are down in anger) this is very out there. Plus ATI's developing "booby traped" HL2 for some Nvidia users. FarCry had tons of Polish in how things happend and worked, Half-Life 2 seems to be a work in progress that no one is working on.
Never the less, FarCry's plot while trying to make a lengthy Horror action game ran into problems with the steriotypicle re-use of a plot we all know good and well. The voice acting was grating and it realy didnt give much room for people on lower end machines. Half-Life 2 did on the other hand, In-fact I can play HL2 on one of my Highschools computers when I set the graphics low enough. The plot is inventive, new, and as an overlay had the whole 1984 chrome painted onto it which made me smile for 24 hours straight on nov.16th. The gravity gun which was the games real only source of gore sadly enough made up for its low tech FPS play by a long shot.
Both games were intence, mabey more on FarCrys side since it stuck more with the horror theme throughout. But Half-Life2 has Half-Life 3 directly on top of it. FarCry is probably stand alone.
I never mentioned Doom 3 in this simply because it doent compare to the two games. Never-the-less, It is a phenominal game, by far more intence than any game that I have played, but unfortunetly it falls short from the mark of the aww and wounder of FC and HL2. The Plot is great if you take time to play it right, and while there are parts in the graphics that are left to be desierd, its length makes up for many of its shortcomings. In this I cannot wait for Resurection of Hell to come out and I hope that it steps up Doom 3 to what it could have been. If not there is allways Quake 4 running out of the same engine.
Yes Half-Life 2 wins, but Valve certantly does not, In most worlds, people dont exept buggy games, this one just happened to compensate with revolutionary includes that keep it level. Steam, while it dosent give me problems since I bought it online, is just plain ass retarded in use as a realy complex CD key. Bugs that are very fixable are left open and festering, and whats even worse is that Counter Strike Source is essentialy the same shit as Counter Strike, with better graphics. Counter Strike had an excuse for all of its bugs, It was made by a kid, then bought and shit ect... Source is ground up Valve, and yet there still is no scope on the AUG, just a zoom in, and the Silencers on the M4 and USP dont come off in 3rd person. That is out in plain sight. The gameplay is the same, and worse in some cases such as the fact that the hit boxes trail behind targets. When you shoot at a player, dont lead the target, well oposite lead the target aim where he just was and you wont miss I promiss.
So in conclusion to my rant, Valve better work there asses off cause right now they are falling worse than ubisoft/monteal in the f-ck ups department. Cause when HL3 rolls around, its going ot have some serious competition. Oblivion, QUAKE 4, F.E.A.R., and others, plus there developers dont have track reccords of massive f-ckups.
PS: If RIDDICK Escape from Butcher Bay (DvprCt) had multiplayer it would have near swamped all 3 games up there.
