i doubt halo 2 will get game of the year this year

it will come close but there is too much other games that deserve it

half life 2 or doom 3 most likely

There are more contenders than just FPS games. Chronicles of Riddick, the new Prince of Persia, GTA: San Andreas, Gran Turismo 4, Metroid Prime 2...

it doesnt mean halo 2 isnt gonna be completely sick!

I would put my money on Half-Life 2 or GTA San Andreas for GOTY. Halo 2 will still kick ass though.

GT4 or MGS3 will own it

i'm tired of GTA and i don't care about Halo

halo 2 received 10|10|10 in EGM. btw anyone up for a TA clan in halo 2?

Half-Life 2

seriously, GTA 4.5 doesn't have a chance

From the reviews I've read, and the amount of promotion, presales, and widespread distribution of Half Life 2, I'd be willing to bet a lot of money it will get game of the year.

since Halo1 didnt get the game of the year I'll be damn if the second one gets it for its practically the same damn game

who care's if it get's game of the year or not really????

screw what everyone else think's.. it's what you think's that mather

actually it did get GoY. hence the "GoY edition"

after playing Halo2, i must say its amazing! much better than Doom 3 in terms of game play. but i do realize they are two different types of FPS, multi vs single player.

GTA 5 is pretty sick as well. lots of new additions to the games, but i think the hardware on the PS2 held it back. its too choppy for my liking. it really takes away from teh game play when you cant see whast going on(no im not blind), but i love the MULTIPLAYER!(oops droped a secret)

GT4 will be amazing, if it even comes out. this thing has been delayed more times than ....well ya know.

Halflife 2...well another big one, i cant say anything yet cause i havent tried it, or even read any previews.

but i think halo2 may take it, cause the damn multiplayer is soo good, and it gets lots of people involved.

Er... It's not GTA 5, it's GTA: San Andreas. GTA 4 isn't even out yet...

But yeah, I think San Andreas deserves it. The GTA games are forever pushing the boundaries.

Hmmmmm....the game has already surpassed 3million units in sales. I think it will more than likely take it. And micorosoft assured the pc version wont be like last years version halo as just being a cheap import.

yes yes yes

Ok I have to vent here, I had just about enough of everybody jacking off to that game.. ok, It's entertaining, but far from being the BEST in its caterogy, honestly..

-its lacks a good storyline

-The cutscenes are all in-game, no video or anything, and they are very basic...

-very repetitive

-Halo 2 looks just like the first one

-Ordinary graphics

-And the god damn Earth mission is the coolest but also ridiculously short!

dont get me wrong, I'm having fun playing this game at my friend's place, but I just dont know why everybody is THAT excited about it like there was anything innovative or unique in the game that we havent seen before.. There are shooters out there far better then Halo IMO

i agree to a certain extent n|te-L|fe. there have only been a small batch of next gen (post doom) first-person shooters that have kept me entertained enough to complete the. halo 2 is one of them.

why? yes on the outside it does look more or less like a cookie-cutter game in its genre. it is indeed reminiscent of the first title and the cutscenes, though not horrible looking, aren't anything to gawk at by today's standards but it's the gameplay imo that keeps me wanting to progress further.

there is something satisfying about hijacking a Ghost from an elite that was just about to turn you into roadkill. there is also the need to think on the fly and to manage/make do with the guns you're currently carrying. the addition of "dual-weild" in the game may seem basic but i think it's executed so well; the best i've seen to date. if you really think about it, it makes for some pretty interesting and brutal battles. i will go so far as to say managing your guns in halo 2 is similarily on par with the micromanagement in RTS games.

the vehicles are what makes the game stand out as well. there has yet to be a game imo that integrates vehicles into a game's campaign as successfully as halo has. i applaud the game designers in creating levels built AROUND vehicle use as well. they are sheer blast to play, i've found myself playing them a few times over again just for the sheer thrill and satisfaction of blowing a banshee out of the sky and watching it tumble to the ground or crushing elites under the treads of my scorpion.

in general to me, halo is all about satisfaction. it delivers that in spades.

this is my impression of the campaign alone. the multiplayer is fantastic and is on a totally different tangent than with most FPSs.

EDIT: btw, the AI never acts the same twice. very unpredictable.

Console GOTY: Halo 2 (as much as I'd hate to say it)

PC GOTY: Half-Life 2

Overall: HL2

YES WTF I tought there would be lots of missions with city fighting, etc. Were back to the same kind of maps as in the first one, it,s so similar. And the storyline is so basic like it,s all in the cutscenes, no story while playing really. And another Halo ring, come on get some inspiration please.

I think with half-life 2 you need to take in mind all of the addons to it. Like Counter-strike Source (AMAZING) and DOD source + all of the mods that will come out wich is not possible with a console game.

So on a console : halo2 wins it

But Half-life 2 single player = Best
Half-life 2 multiplayers (hl2, CS, DOD, etc) = BEST

If you think the game didnt live up to your expectations, then why did you bother finishing it?
