Half Life 2 was the best game of it's time. It deserved game of the decade not because of the quality of the game, but because of the time it was released in. Back in 2006, the quality of this game was amazing. But come on, it's 2014. We need to stop living in the past. Half Life 2 is not, by any means, a good game anymore, or a good first person shooter. If you compare HL2 with another FPS, such as ARMA 3, Battlefield 4, or even Call of Duty Ghosts, HL2 cannot hold it's ground. Now, discuss.

i really liked HL1's setting and atmosphere, but the setting of hl2 is just really damned depressing, and i like the feeling of a huge underground base, where as a city such as hl2's just doesn't give the same feeling.

Just because it's old dosen't mean it's not a good game anymore.
It just means it's not as modern.
I'd take MoH:Allied Assault, or CoD1 from 2003, over ANY of those FPS's you just mentioned.

Call of duty...1... over ... Arma 3? Let's put it this way.


Go to africa with a Gaming PC and 2 games: Battlefield 4 and CoD1. Have an African Child, who has never even seen a videogame before, let alone play one, play both games. Ask him which one he likes more. It will be Battlefield 4.

Yes.
CoD1 over Arma 3.
Sure it may be shiny and new and more advanced.
But i GREW UP playing CoD1.
Just because it's now old and dated dosen't mean i am going to now dislike it.

@Starship It's not better. The only reason you like CoD1 is the nostalgia factor.

@Jamkid Well, friend, in HL2 you have a WIDE array of weapons(around 7). In battlefield and CoD Ghosts, it's so tiny(around 40 weapons each). HL2 has brain dead AI. Seriously, play the game on hard mode and watch how easy it is. 30% of HL2 is boring puzzles and unskipable cutscenes(If you already know the story of the game, then you would REALLY want to skip these 6 minute cutscenes). HL2 is also way smaller than both games.

The quality of a game is measured by more than just graphical quality and coding, though those are usually what most people judge them by. Plot, interesting or engaging gameplay, etc. are also factors toward a game's overall quality.

@Tingle I agree, However, although HL2 has one of the best plots of all time, the gameplay is so disengaging. It's like reading a book. I consider HL2 to be more along the lines of art than a video game.

I really don't understand how a game gets worse as time goes on.

I think you're trying to say that it looks RELATIVELY poor compared to other games releasing now, but I don't see how it's possible to get worse unless some sort of gamebreaking patch occured.

Burnout 3 was released in 2004, It's better and more innovative than all Racing games. Just because you don't like a game doesn't mean everyone else agrees.

"HL2 has brain dead AI.Seriously, play the game on hard mode and watch how easy it is."

So does battlefield 4 and cod ghosts

The only difference in harder difficulties is that the ai damage is ramped up, they never try to outmanuever you.

"30% of HL2 is boring puzzles and unskipable cutscenes(If you already know the story of the game, then you would REALLY want to skip these 6 minute cutscenes)."

So when COD ghosts and battlefield 4 pin your character down and force you to look at something you otherwise would have seen during normal gameplay what would you call that?



"HL2 is also way smaller than both games."

Both of those game's singleplayer campaigns are corridor shooters with the one exception of the tank mission in bf4, and even that leads you back into another corridor.
