Halo2 or GTA: San Andreas?

I know this view has been up for a really long time, and I'm not sure if this has been discussed in the past. But I guess if it has, I'm briging it back into the spotlight. My friends at school keep arguing on the topic, and none of them can decide on which to beat first. I own both, but I see I'm playing Halo2 alot more than GTASA. Suggestions?

You shouldn't *beat* any of them - just go spend all of your time playing halo 2 multiplayer.

It's hard to say one's better than the other because they're different games. And it depends. If you want to stay up until 4 am three nights in a row playing a game and only put a small dent in it because you're more fooling around than doing anything else, San Andreas is a beautiful game.

If you've got people around - lots of people, at least five other people - you can play with regularly, I could see Halo 2 being more fun, with four person splitscreen, or if you want to join multiple XBoxes together, but that's really the only place I could see Halo 2 being better - the multiplayer - because the singleplayer is only some small number of hours, and then what? How much replay value can Halo 2 have? I guess you don't need people around if you've got XBox Live, unless you're like me who really don't care for multiplayer games when you're not surrounded by the people you're playing with. /me shrugs

Actually ... nah, Halo 2's a lot of fun, multiplayer, but I've had a LOT more fun with San Andreas, and I'd also say San Andreas is by far the better game by any sort of meaningful yardstick except "multiplayer fun".

'Course, that's just my opinion which is holy writ. :p.

Oh, wait. It was which to BEAT first? Duh. Halo 2. You're going to spend a LOT more time playing San Andreas.

San Andreas IS a lot more fun, what with the zooming and the pimping and the killing and the freunlauven, but Halo 2 just gives you the sheer satisfaction of slaughtering grunts.
Or n00bs online. The two are interchangeable.
(Aside from Covenant AI being less predictable than people.)

'Oooooh, cool!'

yay, lets post a xbox game, a ps2 game, and a pc game, and think people will not put "console superiority" into the mix.

of course GTASA will come to pc next year so it's not the end of the world.

What makes you think Halo 2 wont?

I say San Andreas because of the sheer free-form fun. My brother hijacked a combine harvester, drove it off a 300-foot cliff, landed upside down on railroad tracks, skidded a ways, got out, and watched the dang thing get nailed by a train a couple seconds later.
Also, I'm not crazy about the X-Box, I only feel so-so about the Halo franchise, and couldn't afford it anyway, between trips to the auto shop with my bug and college. But the opinion about the X-Box system as a whole is a very small factor in the wide scheme of things.

Spend all my time in a chatroom with a limited game tacked onto it somehow called an RPG when its really just a tedious stat-building level grinding exercise where I try to level up X number of times so I can wield/wear the X of Y or somesuch? With silly "trade skills" tacked on to give you "something else to do" that's just another form of grinding? Where you're not really forced, anymore, but gameplay-encouraged to join up in groups of people, quite often random people, many of whom can be dumbasses or a whole laundry list of other bad players (that's of course assuming your lfg is answered in the first place!) ... ?

I wouldn't reccomend it.

MMORPGs: It's all about the bling, baby.
