Half-Life. The hour I played of Half-Life 2 was more engaging and varied than the entirety of Halo 3.
Actually, i think it's my bad. I did come off as a bit of a fanboy although unintentionally.Fire Daemon said:
I've played both equally and find Half Life overall the better game series.
This may be due to the halo sequels diluting the series however, as I find the original Halo better then any individual Half Life game.

This is a tough choice as I love them both, but sice you were so kind as to put a "both" option in the poll I shall go with that, indecisive git that I am.
Nah. Just make the Gravity Gun a Forerunner weapon available in Multiplayer (e.g. like the Sentinel Beam).Vrex360 said:
Although, thinking about it, just playing a game in Forge mode allows the Guilty Spark to pick things up... Hmm. Just needs a repulse action.
I liked the crossbow and crowbar, but surely they would be useless against Mjolner Armor?
P.S. Halo series > Half Life series
I find it difficult to compare the two. Halo consisted of about eight hours of "Run here, shoot them, Win game". The later games added in a few videos for story line material but the gameplay remained the same.
Half Life, even the first one and moreso in Half Life 2 consisted of more than the "Run here, Shoot this." It had puzzles that needed to be soved, vehicle runs that were more about your driving skills than blowing everything in sight to kingdom come and back, and more dialogue that was more player oriented than just there to push the game along. In Halo, you play as Master Chief, and you know they're speaking to Master Chief. In Half Life, you play as Gordon Freeman, but when the AI speaks, they're talking to 'You'.
Anyway, my vote's for Half Life easily. Half life, 2, and both episodes. And if that's not good enough, there's always a trump card: Portal.

Half-Life is a game full of Valve's genius design, Havok and Gordon Freeman. Halo is a game full of Bungie's sucking up to Microsoft, poor weapon mechanics and Master Chef. I mean Chief.
Half-Life takes you an environment that was well thought out, well designed and overall a immersive environment (less so Half-Life 2, but still, it's better than Halo). There may not be Grunts with exploding confetti filled heads, but it makes up for that with having a guided missile launcher, a crossbow that nails people to walls, likable characters (Halo has one, that one being Johnson), and the scary thing about it in twenty years time I could see those kinds of experiments taking place.
Halo had energy swords, but since when was that new? You didn't even get to make Lightsaber noises with them... the whole Halo idea was also ripped from a book called Ringworld also, and in general just isn't as good as it says its meant to be... come on, having a poor campaign does not give it an excuse for people to say the multiplayer makes up for it and that the multiplayer alone deserves an 10/10 when I myself don't play on XBox Live, and neither, I know for a fact, do a number of my friends.

I don't really like Halo or Half-Life.
Half-Life 2, on the other hand, is one of my absolute favourite games. So I picked it.
