Halo 2 takes Gamespy's Game of the Month

[Wingznut]

This month was a real nail-biter. Two phenomenal first-person games embodied everything we love about gaming: innovation, multiplayer, storytelling, online play, technology, and most of all, good old-fashioned solid gameplay. Still, one game presented the best out-of-the box experience, pushing the envelope both online and off.

whatever. its game of the month. not like gamespy wasnt paid an assload to say it. not like the competition was so great either.

HL2 is better IMO (and yes I've played both. And yes I own both).

I'm not surprised Halo 2 made game of the month. I found it more fun than HL2.

In terms of single player, Half Life 2 destroys Halo 2. However, in terms of multiplayer, Halo 2 currently destroys Half Life 2. Replayablity definatley goes with Halo 2... (for the time being of course)

Halo 2 > Half Life 2

i would have to dissagree, both games are about teh same length and i found teh single player on Halo 2 more fun
and IMO the story is better also

Compared to HL2 Halo's gameplay is empty and repetitive.

The same can be said about HL2 versus HL.

As for me:

Halo 2 = Half-Life 2 - I don't want to live without either of them .

Halo 2 plays like alot of PC shooters... it isn't like it is REVELUTIONARY this time, it is only EVELUTIONARY

And this is why it got the nod... Multiplayer.

gamespy is a joke. halo 2 is nothing compared to hl2.

 

[jm0ris0n]

I have yet to find anyone satisfied with Halo 2's ending...

And Hl2 Deathmatch is already an example of how robust its possibilities are.

Give me a break. Halo 2 wasn't a new engine, and it was by no means "revolutionary" as someone else stated. Half-Life 2 took its predecessor and not only pwned it, but also was higher than most expectations.

I'm sorry, but I've already dealt with so many Halo 2 fanbois that I won't even give it a second chance.

Man... HL2 destroys the competition. Halo 2 is awesome, but not holy. HL2's moddability, its versatility, and its engine are just a few reasons why it's a better game. The single player is also much better.
