Are you getting tired of Halo yet? If so, play BLACK.

Indeed, although Halo had a lot more time to polish that. Seeing as so much of the game design was already done. I'm not bringing them down here; it's just to be assumed that with all the time and energy put into it, one would really hope that it looks good.
Although I think that a lot of the style differences attribute to that heavily too.
They're both great titles in their own right; as are their sequels. I've logged hundreds of hours on all of them. I just can't grasp people's need to make a comparison that seems as sensible as comparing a game of chess to a tuna sandwich.

I can through your post that you like both of them. I actually played a little bit at the begining of Half Life. I saw people, guns, boat and forest are not sharp and clear. That is why I stopped playing it.
Well if you can give me great reasons, I may give it another try.

I like both HL2 and Halo, but for totally different reasons..HL2 plays more like a ps1 game, it's a bit rough and ready but I think the overall playability is high, and the story is great...
Halo had the WOW! factor..It was the first thing I saw on an xbox, you land in the lifeboat pod and step outside and.....Wooooooooo...I mean that is a never to be repeated experience..We've had it now and I don't think I will ever get that feeling again from a games console...That's why people will always love Halo..
Maybe that's why the 360 isn't doing so well..there hasn't been a game out yet with the kind of jaw dropping experience the first few moments of halo has..
I think Black does something similar in the graphics department..If you never seen an xbox before the game will change your life and you will end up loving it and flaming anyone who finds fault with it..
Now I'm in a bit of a privileged position here..being a tester for a scene group I get nearly every game before they hit the shops..(yup even Barbie Horse Adventures!!) so I suppose I'm a bit spoiled for choice..A game has to be really something special, or do something different or whatever to hold my attention further than the cursory once through the first few levels for testing the rip!
Black managed this, as did HL2 and both Halo's..Other games I finished and have been back to since include XIII, Jet Set Radio Future, Max Payne 1&2, Project Zero, Munch's Oddysee and Still Life..IMHO some of the best games ever...There are a lot of un-imaginative dull badly coded games out there (simpsons hit&run comes to mind) but there are some real gems...Morrowind has to be the best value for money ever..The graphics suck but how much game is there?? I played for 50ish hours before I discovered there was actually a mission.(I killed someone and a few minutes later the game asked me if I wanted to continue playing in the doomed world I had created..he must have been important to the plot,, just some dude in a house!) So there you have it.. My 50 cents..

HL*2* was rough looking? Like a PS1 game? I could not be one bit more confused right about now. It sounds like you're describing HL1 on a *very* bad system. I'm not sure. That point aside; I play far too many games, and really don't spend a lot of time with a title if it doesn't interest me. Both of the HL titles, as well as the Halo titles have held plenty of interest for me. They have unique storylines that serve very well. (I will not defend Halo 2's ending, there is no defense, it was weak sauce.)
Um, as for this comment:

I'm thinking you played something else. As in something else completely and entirely different. Because what you have described is not actually IN the first Half Life. So; I'm not at all sure of what you even played. As for sharp and clear, it's a computer game. That's really up to your hardware and how you set it up. Sharp and clear should never be an issue; especially on a pc. Technology is really past that point. Perhaps you meant another word or phrase, if so, I would be glad to hear more. I'm not trying to pick at you or anything; it just sounds from your description, about 300% positive that you have HL horribly confused with some completely different title that I can't even think of. Because there is no forest scene *anywhere* in Half Life.
From the looks of it, you either have this game confused with something else, or you might have mistyped. Not sure. But the scene you described sounds a LOT closer to farcry than Half Life. It's really about the only major PC game I can think of with much forest lately.

I played half life 2 on xbox and thought it was a great game. I'm playing black right now and it's a great game too just in a different way. I'm stuck at the end though keep getting my butt kicked in the warehouse by those stupid rpg guys.

They are both decent titles; although I really feel that HL2 is best enjoyed on PC, but the xbox port certainly wasn't bad (Especially at $20) although I wish they had waited for the 360, as they were considering doing; nicer graphics would've been easy; and they could have really allowed some sort of online play; maybe even integrated with the pc version. How cool would that have been?
But yes. Both good titles.
Although; I do have to say that as far as 'story' goes, Black was weak. Honestly. The videos were as cheesy and pointless as NFS:MW's. They were really good for getting some food, or using the bathroom though... No good story on black. Single player is *fun* but there might as well be no story. GRAW had a much better plot, and Clancy games aren't exactly known for strong plot lines...

Halo2 and black are both great. However storylines in black are harder to follow, they move too fast and talk too softly, I start the mission and i have no clue the purpose of it. Gameplay is superior to any game i have played thusfar. It is every much addicting once i start, but i always have problems choosing this game because i bought it for ps2 when my cousin gave me his 360 the same time.

Rofl. This thread is HOW old?
Anywho, if you're tired of Halo; here's another suggestio that might be more timely:
Get a new game system. There are about to be three next gen systems again; now is the time to try out one or two of them.
f you can't afford that, then, yeah, go ahead, get black. Myself, I start putting away little bits each month about half a year before launch.

Black has a fast-moving storyline and has a run&gun gameplay (this is a good feature)
it also relates more to modern warfare like have the real guns like the PD-90 and SPAZ Shotgun
Halo 1&2 both have easy BUT great storylines that involve you and have futuristic weapons that we love to just plain screw-around with!
