Halo was actually good. Goldeneye was always a terrible game.
Halo is still playable. 007 has aged horribly
Have you tried playing GoldenEye? It's unplayable garbage. Even back then it was terrible.
Goldeneye was a better game for its time than Halo was for its time. Halo has always been tremendously overrated as a FPS. Everything on PC at the time was way, way better than what Halo was at.

Also I felt like Goldeneye 007 was trying to be a console FPS, whereas Halo was trying to be a PC FPS on a console. And god, Halo sucked. When you think that Battlefield 1942 came out on PC around the same time, holy shit was Halo inadequate.
For me, there's a lack of weight to Halo controls. It feels like I'm just zipping a cursor around the screen to shoot.
Goldeneye, on the other hand, feels like you're actually moving a character.
For me, that tactile difference alone makes me much prefer Goldeneye.

Eh, I think the Goldeneye controls work okay because of the stiff N64 joystick, and Halo controls work with the modern joysticks that center well. Each one's style wouldn't have worked well with the other's controller. However, the Halo style is definitely much better overall. I don't really care about "weight", I just want it to be easy to shoot things, and the Halo aiming is so much smoother.
