There's an Unreal II: the Awakening Preview on Computer and Video Games with a look at the upcoming shooter sequel in the works at Legend Entertainment. Based on getting to check out the game first-hand, the article includes quotes from Legend's Glen Dahlgren in discussing how the Unreal follow-up may finally surpass Half-Life in the author's mind as the preeminent single-player FPS, what gameplay is like, and the decision to forego any sort of multiplayer support.

Seriously, would anybody be talking about Half Life anymore if it wasn't for the 10^99 mods that have come out for it, amongst them such minor things as Counterstrike?

The single player for Half Life was a lot of fun, but it was freakin' linear as hell (to the point where EVERY monster appeared at EXACTLY the same spot), and there have been a plethora of games (not necessarily FPS games) that have given you a greater game experience overall (Deus Ex anyone?).

So still hailing Half Life as "the greatest game ever" is kinda absurd in my opinion, simply looking at Half Life itself.
Calling it the greatest MULTIPLAYER "base" game is probably still justified. Natural Selection is absolutely awesome
