Question

Half-Life or Halo? Which series is better and why? Only answer if you've played both, please.?

Answer 1

Half-Life for ambience and creepiness, Halo for phrenetic action.

Answer 2

I'm going to have to recommend Half-Life.. It has a very good story line and the ambiance keeps you very interested.. i do not feel the same way when i played Halo..

Answer 3

That's a hard one. I'm gonna stick with halo thou. I mean story line was a little bit better. but i think what really makes the halo series better is the combat. It really raises the bar on how fun combat can be. the Co-op really plays a huge factor as well. as much as i loved just playing halo1/2/3 playing it with a friend really made my weekends. although i enjoyed half-life greatly i don't feel i ever enjoyed the combat more then just hearing the story's and wanted to beat the game. and the reply value of half-life i think is vastly lacking compared to HALO. what saves HL in that area is counter-strike, and team fortress classic 2. But I'm not really sure if they can be counted in this so yea i'm sticking with HALO

grats me for my wall of text GG

Answer 4

Half-Life by far.  Both the old version (all episodes) and the new version were great.

HALO?  meh...fun for a while but the story was nowhere near as interesting as HL.  I agree with the other poster - it was good for frantic shoot-outs.
