>>46164I'll disagree with that, I feel like a lot of the set piece fights in Halo are too simple and aren't all that exciting, limiting the amount of weapons you can carry to only two makes a lot of the fights feel the exact same, it doesn't help a lot of cooler weapons are sparse as well.
Half-life on the other hand gives you a lot more variety in how you approach encounters because of the selection of weapons it gives you. The main problem with Half-life is that most of the encounters take place in a corridor or small room and the AI is kind of dogshit so most of the enemies just decide to bumrush you which makes them easy to deal with.
