Half Life 2 vs Halo 2
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 2
Halo 2 follows on from the events of the first game, and takes you on a trip into the Covenant as well as following the story of the Master Chief. The Elite Commander of the last fleet to engage the humans at the Halo Ring is disgraced and on trial, but this leads to him becoming the Arbiter, a source of justice among the races. Meanwhile the Master Chief and Cortana fight for control of Earth after an attack by one of the Elders of the Covenant. This is merely the start of your adventure here and another chapter of the epic story unfolds before you as you set off across the cities of Earth and the Stars to stop what could be the end of everything you know.Once more you have a stunning first person shooter full of action, new skills and weapons to use and the ability to duel wield small arms for unparalleled firepower. With all the gameplay you love, and a new online version of the split screen multiplayer you can enjoy the campaign with friends and take part in ranked matches online. All in all a brilliant game with much critical acclaim this was and still is an epic sequel.
