Half Life 2 is the Best Shooter... Ever

[BrayanA]

Haha,
dude you just found the wheel.
HL2 is a 2004 game and for its time was the best, beating all other competitors. Just as first Half Life do. Blood 2, Sin, etc. Do you remember them? They were good games, but Half Life come and winnow them. 50 Game of the Year awards! Guinness World Records "Best-Selling First-Person Shooter of All Time". This game was so great. Counter Strike start as a shy mode and after one year beat Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament. There was more players plaing HL:CS then Q3 and UT combined.

HL2 face more competition. Halo 2, Doom 3, Unreal Tournament 2004, Far Cry, Painkiller, Battlefield Vietnam, The Chronicles of Riddick, Killzone, Medal of Honor:PA, Joint Operations and etc. Even with such solid competitors HL2 win 35 Game of the Year awards and Guinness World Records award for "Highest Rated Shooter".

If you played games in chronological order - Half Life and Half Life 2 are the best in FPS area. It is stupid to go back and to compare them with new games like Gears 2 or Resistance 2. Console owners will never fill the real taste of Half Life 2. The Orange Box comes 3 years after PC gamers appreciate it. If you like it in 2007, then imagine you playing this game in 2004. I'm sure you get what I mean.
