Well, my dear guys.
I played Halo 2 yesterday and I have to say it's nothing compared to HL2 (which I bought today). It seems like every wall and every texture is a peace of art. And everything that happens is full of details.
Lips move following what's said... In any language! Everything has volume and everything you can grab you do grab. There's always more than one way to solve a part while interacting or not with your environment.

For example:
Remember those mosnsters that stick to the ceiling with a long tong hanging down that caught you and leeched your blood? Well, you can kill one or two with your gun without wasting to much ammo. But 5 is a bit tougher. Now take a look around. You se a flammable barrel you could use if enemies where cloe enough, or if these monsters were a bit closer to the floor. Hm... you grab it... and throw it to the tongues. Then one or two of them fight for pulling the barrel up and trying to lecch whatever it has. Interesting, before they see it's just a fuel barrel, you shoot once and... boom. 5 monsters less and a free way.

And things like this everywhere!

It's so amazing... It's cheaper than Halo and so much, much better.

Just try it out
