Like what? I'm talking about the major franchises like Halo, HL, GoW, CoD,..

Halo's story is overrated as well...I just think as an achievement, the Half-Life franchise is a little overrated and Halo underrated by PC gamers. Half-Life games are still enjoyable, but nothing stands the test of time like Halo. Almost 9 years old and the Warthog's physics are still top of the foodchain and the AI makes every firefight unique (unlike Half-Life 2, which feels like a pattern of enemies storming at you).

Halo's story I haven't actually gotten into as I lack an xbox currently (I guess it's the only reason they could get the damn things to sell, no one would buy 'em otherwise initially).

And, it's really the other way around- I can't count how many kids haven't even heard of Half Life but know everything about Halo and Call of Duty. But yeah, Half Life 2's firefights kinda suck sometimes (although a few parts are nice).

One thing the Half Life series definitely has over Halo and other series though is ambiance. Halo (after playing a few games with friends and shit), doesn't really have as much of that atmosphere. Not to say it's nonexistent, but it's just not as apparent. It feels a bit more like generic sci fi stuff most of the time. Then again I haven't really played Halo 3's singleplayer, might be why, but still.

Gears of War is HURF DURF STARCRAFT AND WH40K MARINE RIPOFF HURR. ALSO GRAY.

Call of Duty is HURF DURF MARINES ETC. Nothing new there.

Now, again, I'm not really talking about the general gameplay or the "physics" as you seemed to have pointed out- I'm more or less talking about story and setting, which is what you initially criticized. Gameplay wise, yeah, Half Life's multiplayer sucks yada yada (personally I like the singleplayer gameplay though).

One complaint I have with the series though is the amount of cut content from Half Life 2 :[ they really coulda had some awesome shit, but ah well.

TL;DR: Half Life 2 is superior to most other franchises in terms of story, setting, and etc.
