Alot of folks talk about facial expressions and subtle nuances in these games and while they are good I want pure excitement to go with that.
So my vote goes for..... dare I say....
HALO 2!!!!
Just by going off of the original, with it's music and fighting with your comrades, and the different vehicles that you command, I cannot fathom these other games being better unless they have something up their sleeve.
If Doom 3 is just me running around shooting monsters, albeit graphically enhanced monsters, then great. But didn't I do that in Doom 1 (except it wasn't as good looking).
The same goes for Half-Life 2. It LOOKS great but is there a new and interesting gameplay element besides a good story and better graphics (I know the story will as you say "rock").
Halo 2 gives you a struggle. Unless I'm talking to someone in the game (and I'd rather be shooting ), I won't have time to admire how that lady lifted one eyebrow like Spock and gave a smirk.
