HL2 + episode 1 and episode 2 are best single player experiences you can get in an FPS. So much variety, and freedom to tackle enemies as you wish... None of the COD BS of "pick up rocket launcher to stop the tank!!!" over and over...what if I don't want to get rocket launcher?

Anywho, HL2 and Halo 1 to me are 2 FPS games that will never be topped as far as single player campaign is concerned. The genre is too saturated now for anything to stand out as those 2 games did...

How dare you say Halo in the same breath as Half Life 2.  Halo was repetitive and boring compared to HL2.

While I respect your opinion...but Halo 1 when it came out in 2001 was anything but boring.

The game introduced so many new things like open/non corridor battles, regen shields,  vehicle combat, coop... that it even to this day feels very fresh and playable. Not many games from that time feel right when played today...try playing Unreal or Soldier of Fortune. 

Yes it had some pacing issues in the middle but combined with the fact it had amazing AI, very smooth gunplay and you could have coop with a buddy any time...I believe Halo 1 should be considered the best FPS single player campaign until HL2 came out.

I think Half:Life (the original) is better.

While Halo was fun, repetitive gameplay and some uninspired level design let it down in my opinion.
