I think unreal 2 (the awakening, yes?) was waaay better than the first Halo, considering they more or less came out around the same time.
It STARTS pretty slow IMHO, but I think it kicks off and turns into a great game, among my favourite "vs aliens FPS" type games.
Storyline not much better on one game than the other, but the vehicles and weapons (again, just my opinion), the aliens, and the variety of different indoor and exotic outdoor scenes, planets, and varied mission types were all better...

That said, I havent played the halo sequels, so I don't know how to rate them, but I have to say that while it was a fairly solid game, I found halo to be just a tad over-rated and lacking atmosphere - something the awakening had in spades.

However, if you're into games LIKE this...even if you're not any kind of trek fan, and it IS stepping back a little, a game called "ST: Elite Force 2" was all kinds of excellent.

Dunno what to play really...still on shadow of the collossus ATM.
