Half Life 2 vs Halo 5: Guardians
Half Life 2
Half Life 2 is the exciting sequel to the original Half Life game and is also the inspiration for a new Half-Life-based spin-off series. The game took the suspense, the challenge and the momentum of the first game and added in a much improved and realistic graphics and responsiveness that removes a lot of the clunkiness that old games often experience.The story also continues where it was left off before, with the crowbar-wielding scientist Gordon Freeman who now finds himself in an Earth that is not only infested with aliens but is also slowly decimated by them. He now needs to make amends for the incident back in Black Mesa and at least save the people that he cares about.
Half Life 2 is a great sequel, but it is unfortunately the last... at least for the Half Life series. On the bright side, you can somewhat continue the storyline through the spin-off games Half Life 2: Episode 1 and 2.
Halo 5: Guardians
Halo 5: Guardians is the lastest installment in the award-winning Halo game franchise. Although this game has a pretty epic co-op (up to 4-player) campaign that has a pretty awesome storyline to enjoy, Halo 5 is ultimately a paradise for players who love Halo's multiplayer mode. There are plenty more multiplayer modes for you to play in, including the new, large-scaled Warzone which can be further separated into a 24-player Warzone Assault (PvP) and a 8-player Warzone Firefight (co-op). There is also the usual Arena Multiplayer mode that pits teams of 4 players against each other.But the most interesting part of its multiplayer aspect is the REQ system which awards REQ points to players engaging in multiplayer matches. These points can then be used to unlock new weapons, armor, vehicles, stances and more!
So, if you really like Halo's multiplayer games and would like to play more of it, this game is literally designed with multiplayer as its focus. You'll find the game modes and the REQ system more than enough to keep you returning to the game.
