The thing with half-life 2 is that while the overall story may be unremarkable the way it is conveyed to the player though the character interaction is extremely good. For example you might overhear the NPCs having conversations which reveal new things about the story or learn things through the set pieces with the main characters. All of which are very well 'acted'.

If you compare it to other high profile FPS titles it really doesn't get much better than HL2.
