So Activision plans on screwing up the single greatest of all time now?

Wonderful...

What? Activision are screwing up Half-Life 2?!

After being out for over ten years GoldenEye is still discussed as being one of the greatest FPS of all time.  Over ten years from now, Half-Life 2 wont be.


Only by Nintendo fans.

Half Life 2 and in particular the Source engine it's built on has spawned the following:

HL2 Episodes 1,2 and eventually 3

Team Fortress 2

Counter Strike Source

Day Of Defeat

Portal

This is why Half Life 2 is the greatest FPS of all time, GoldenEye was a great console shooter but nothing legendary, Halo took the genre further forward than GoldenEye.  Half Life 2 will be talked of in the same vein as Doom and Quake (both over 10 years old), GoldenEye will be forgotten within 10 years.  I have to question if you've even played HL2 making such a ridiculous claim....

 

Critically speaking check Metacritic:

Half Life 2 has 96 with over 81 reviews, GoldenEye the same score with only 21.  Once you take into account the technology HL2 created (it launched the Steam platform, Havok physics engine) then it really isn't even close.
