Halo 2 was the peak of the Halo series, and Microsoft gradually rode on that hype for a while until it slowly died out, after many disappointments. Half-Life 2 ended on a cliffhanger implying there was going to be another game, and they just never announced Half-Life 3 not even 20 years later. Which caused a lot of hype around Half-Life 3 even though it's never been announced yet.
And DOOM faded into obscurity for a while until Bethesda brought it back to leech money off of nostalgia, but I heard they did a decent job with recreating the feel of the original game though for DOOM 2016. I'd say HALO 2 was best and then Half-Life 2 and then DOOM 3 lol.

Painkiller and Battlefield Vietnam were fun. From the 3 games in the op image, I replay Halo 2 the least. I forced some of my friends who never played Halo, who were born in the early 90's, to try them out last year and they all put Halo 2 and 4 at the bottom. Admittedly, we just played campaign co-op together. I did tell them, in Halo 2's defense, that the MP is why it was praised and a lot of stuff Halo 3 was sucked off for was present in 2.

I can visibly see what state of health a player is in by seeing their shields flicker, recharging, or flashing when getting hit. Something no other fps can do without a health bar appearing above their head.

Doom 3's biggest contributions were in technology that we all just take for granted in graphical fidelity. Normal mapping and bump mapping, the various improvements to shadow and lighting. It's not as grandiose as the other 2, but literally every engine today uses all the things that were groundbreaking at the time from Doom 3.

Halo 2 had normal mapping as well. It wasn't as obvious because it only reacts to dynamic light sources which there aren't many of.

Halo 2's health system could lead to infinite death loops as you could be insta-killed by a wide variety of things. Because you technically had less health than Halo 1, which used a combined system of permanent health and regenerating health, to just regen health. It's better to even out difficulty over a whole level, but it can stop the flow dead in its tracks as you have to find cover somewhere and wait for your health to return to get back in the fight. Also Halo 2s difficulty was weird with enemies being more aggressive and firing significantly faster and reacting faster than on lower difficulties. Poking your head out for a millisecond could see your general area covered in plasma fire.

Half Life 2 >>>>>>>>> Halo 2>Doom 3

Halo 2 is an unfinished campaign with worse visuals than 1 due to engine development hell and Xbox limitations but it made it up with solid multiplayer.
Doom 3 is good for the first 10 hours but it drags on too much. The Hell part is great where the gameplay finally speeds up and you get weapons taken away from you for a time but the game goes off a cliff after that.

Yes, obviously. It has the easiest "bhop" I ever saw in a game (except maybe for Dusk) for a reason. Look, I never could bhop in Quake or anything, but in PK you can literally mash space and go lightspeed. But also you can just hold S and shoot melee dudes with Shotgun.\

Meanwhile, to beat Serious Sam on Serious I had to actually sweat and combine my weapons and care about target priority because in Sam you can NOT outrun dedicated melee enemies, your ass will be turned inside out if you try until Sam 3.
