They are both 1337, and I will like halo 2 better at first. But eventually HL2's mods will overpower the puny halo 2 :p

FPS! Pah! They all the same, different graphics and different physics but still point and shoot. I love fps, don't get me wrong but look at the latest releases! Point, shoot and repeat untill dead, whoops, sorry not to forget duck and jump now and again. I WILL buy HL2, about 2 months down the line off e-bay for no more than 12 pounds and i'll only be buying it then for any mods due out. Thank god for the modding community, at least they can turn an average game into a work of art.

One silver package all ordered. I think it's not bad for a state of the art game, a few other mods for it, one of the best engines in the world AND all the modding capability that comes with it.

I love these posts from Halo 2 fanboys. fools...
Halo 2 = slightly better gfx than Halo 1 and barley any gameplay improvments to speak of. Not to mention it's an un-MODable console game.

Now, HL2 on the other hand is the sequel of "the best action game of all time" and will feature some awesoem MODs. Have fun with Halo 2 for < a year while us HL2 players will be enjoying the fruits of the game for MANY years to come.

=P

crap about console games: stagnated gameplay, no modability.

hl2 will grown, while halo2 will shrink

Collectors all the way, I don't really trust buying stuff over steam cos all you get in return is a cd-key basically... I wanna have a hard copy of HL2 and HL:S :D

Yes, that is puzzling. I'm going the Collector's edition. I Don't really like the idea of downloading several gigabyte of game off the internet, and like all the nice extras.

vcatkiller:

Just FYI, the Gold Edition is like a mere 10 bucks more, and has like 8 more things... Yes you must download it off the internet, but VALVe then sends you like a box and everything so it will be like you bought it in the store.

Oh and with the Collector's Edition you do NOT get DoD:S...

Retail Collector's Edition is a rip-off IMHO.

Youre right, I already know how much it will cost in my country, 2.5x more than the standard edition :|

I figured i'd buy a steam silver version so i'd have access to everything (plus CSS Right away) and if i wanted a box and someone else at a lan party wanted to play at the same time but didn't have it i'd set up an account specificly for my share copy.

I wont be playing HL2 any time soon

Q. Will the boxed versions of HL2 require any sort of Steam installations?
Doug Lombardi: During installation the user will be prompted to authenticate the copy and create a Steam account. After that is complete, the single-player and LAN games do not require an Internet connection.


BRING ON S.T.A.L.K.E.R and be done

Not to be an ***, but it's spelled "acquire".

I'll buy the gold version in a shop.

Silver cause I want HL and DoD. Otherwise I would have gone into the store for standard.

Golds just a rip off at the price, its just ridicilous. Your mad if you pay that sort of money for some gimmic extras.
