Is Halo CE is ONE of the best FPS ever but not THE Best FPS ever?

Im still trying to see how half life 2 is better... Yeah, the set pieces are maybe a tag bit better, but HL2 gunplay is quite lacking even to lesser shooters than halo. Games like FEAR own Half Life 2 enemy AI and gun fights.

HL2 does have a great story, music is awesome...weapons are great...but as an FPS I come to the table for the shooting part, and the shooting in Hal Life has always been a little on the safe side.

 

Half Life 2 has a very engaging story/setting, great atmosphere, great gameplay, great AI. Halo is a completely different style of FPS than Half Life though. Halo is the epitome of console style shooters (which means more than just dual analogue versus mouse and keyboard) while Half Life is the epitome of PC style shooters. Yes, other games do some things better, such as FEAR having superior AI, but as a complete package Half Life is deservedly, widely considered the best.

Completely agree. I am replaying Half Life 2 for the 3rd time now (PC, Xbox, Xbox360) and the game is still great. However it does have faults...Unlike a game like...Doom 3 for example, Halof life 2 and Halo 1 are timeless in my opinion. Always going to be fun and feel current. Until Natal kicks in that is :)
