Next Week Halo 2 for the console, and he following week Halflife 2 for the P.C. will be on sale, OPne of the wags around here says that Halo 2 will outsell Halflife 2 by five times. Is he on crack or an astute marketing genius? Me? I'm buying HL 2 because I don't own a console. Scott
Well, Halo 2 is the sequel to the (IMO awful) only game the XBox had for a long time. HL 2 is the sequel to the mst popular online game available... I'd bet on HL2 since the XBox has a smaller userbase (GTASA was on the PS2 which outsold the XBox by about 250%) and because of the CS junkies. I don't have an XBox so I'm not…
I've not interest in Halo 2, didn't have much interest in the first Halo. I can't grasp FPS's for consoles - just doesn't work for me. I'm a huge fan of Half-Life and the mod community. Aswell as Valve's support for that community - which cannot be said for Halo (and I'm sure the same could/will be said for Halo 2). As for…
I can't be bothered to care either way. I was never impressed by Halo, and I'm not impressed by Half-Life 2 either. Hell I'll probably end up neve rplaying either of them
i put halo2 for both. console games tend to sell more then pc games these days, especially big name console games. halo 2 has over 1.5 million pre-orders, and pre-orders tend to make up only about 10% or so of total sales. half-life will be big, but not halo 2 big. and i didnt really like half life 1 but loved halo so im…
I am looking forward to HL2. I wasn't too fond of Halo but then again that was the first time I ever tried a FPS on a console. HL2 I am buying blind but Halo 2 I wanna testride first before I will buy spend 60 Euros on it.
Thats why I love consoles - the games come for the system, and in 2 years the games for the same console will play on it, unlike my PC where I have to spend 200 quid a year just to have it be able to play the newset games.
Dammit Scott, where's the "you can choose both" option for the second question? (i've already preordered both)... as to which i want to play more... well, halo's next week.. so that's taking my top position for right now... depending on how fast i get through it (especially with the amount of my time dedicated to GTA:SA…
Heh, interesting that the 3 people who said they wanted HL2 more, said that Halo 2 will sell more. I am one of those 3! I think it's probably true. More people buy games for consoles these days, and while both HL2 and Halo2 are hotly anticipated and will both sell hugely, I think the mere fact that HL2 is not a console…
