If HALO 2 had sucked.
 

What would have happend if HALO 2 had sucked big time? Like it would not run sometimes, and there were terrible clipping issues, and you could not kill the AI. Would there be massive rights? I think it would be terrible funny......

people would cook marshmellows and then be engulfed by them.

i prolly kill you and then the whole microsoft community...jk eek:

i woulnd't really care.

There would have patch updates whenever you go on XBOX Live ofcourse

what was I ever thinking? annoy:

I hope it sucks, so I can shove it in those Halo 2 > HL2 people's faces.

ditto

from what I've heard/read, the beginning is action packed, and the rest is just repeativness throughout the levels like in Doom3, and the ending sucks

from what I read though

d00m 3 was such a POS game, just so much hype over graphics, there was nothing innovativce about it, and that's the mother fucking truth

im so glad I didnt buy it, and my broher DLed it instead, I didnt even finish the game, and I just uninstalled, it was wasting my precious HD space

6-8 hour Campain. happy: happy: happy:

Most reviews seem to say that the SP is a bit of a let down.

But the XboxLive MP is supposed to be really good.





The graphics also suck. Horrible textures.

Halo 2 is part 2 of a 3 part game, the ending is obviously going to be a cliffhanger, if they just ended up wiping the covenant out then it wouldn;t set up much of a storyline for the final chapter of the game. Halflife 2 also has a cliffhanger ending, i dont see too many people bitching about that though. I would have assumed people would use some common sense when bitching about the ending, seems i was asking too much. oOo:

Again i ask like back in the doom 3 thread, show me a first person shooter that doesn't have some degree of repetativeness, halo has vehicles to mix it up with though. And repatitive or not, people are gonna play through it to get filled in on the story which focuses more on the covenant and why theyre attacking earth. Doesn't really matter in the long run because the majority are going to want to play through it.

As for the textures, i don't see too much wrong with them, xbox only has a total of 64 megs of shared ram, not all that is used for texture storage, considering how large the levels look id say the textures do a good enough job. Theyre not super hi res but if they were the levels would probably be a quarter the size with a shit load more loading. Its a technical limitation, if they were gonna use a swap file on the xbox hard drive for texture caching that would have made the game chug at points so they opted for what would be a smoother gameplay experience.

I don't see anything wrong with those, first and foremost its a console shooter and will be played on a tv not a monitor so most likely you wont even notice the textures as much, secondly for the ps2 owners getting their 2 cents worth of bitching in, the ps2 would probably explode trying to do one level of halo 2 at that res, kindly stfu.

Looks better in motion :)

halo 2 fucking pwns, proteus and i picked it up at midnight at the local EB, the swords are fucking bad ass, the online play is fun as shit. the co-op single player is so much fun. and as for the graphics i think they are pretty decent, there are a few flaws, but they can only fit so much on a single disc. i rather have some what dull downed graphics, then lose a map.


i give it a 9.7/10


by the way its gonzo

Im buying it on thursday

WOW, who cares if HL or H2 is better? Their both good games, and they will both entertain me for quite a while.

I'm buying it right now through ESP.

is it going to be available on the PC? imo fps suck on consoles, keyboard + mouse > controller happy:

eek:

was about to say... biggrin:

I helped him.

In 3+ years if ever.

Played it for 2.5 hrs this morning. You're in for a big suprise within the first hour and a half or two if you're into this game at all. I haven't decided whether I like it or not, but i'll wait until I pass the game to decide.

cry:

Just read some american news channel is reporting its had 100 million $ worth in sales inside of 24 hours. ed:

Yes, I was suprised by some things as well. You know, my local walmart had a whole shitload of copies by the time I got there, about 8 in the morning.

The gameplay is excelent, as are the near-perfect controls. I've said it before and Ill say it again, Halo controls > Keyborad and mouse.

The way I saw it, the gameplay is quite diverse, actually.

Excellent game. rock: rock:

I could never stand Controllers over keyboard and mouses in a FPS. The first halo was good and all but not what everyone made it out to be. It wasnt ground breaking or anyting like that. Just another pretty FPS that was fun. eek: Just like Halo 2

Just so much easier to aim with a mouse. Maybe it is the games I like, War style, but to me the mouse owns all. Even me!

2 months free xbox live with halo 2... yay...

Kinda sexy...........

I beat the game about an hour ago. It is a cliffhanger... the game fuckin rocked none-the-less. Campain is very long, i played it for about 8 hours.

8 hour campaign is long?

thats horrible

usually FPS games are never long dude...and for ocne the story is actually seems good unlike the firts halo.

Not really, halo 2 is all about sp but theres a ton of emphasis on multiplayer, 8 hours but on what difficulty? Not saying much if you charge through it in 8 hours on normal difficulty.

any news on when it will come out for PC. i am sure i will need a new graphics card. right now i have some Nvidia piece of shit.

Well, me n my bro started a co-op thing which lasted 3 hours. Then i made my own and started playing on that. So i guess it was 5 hours. I played it on normal also.

Try the harder difficulties, normal in this is meant to be easier than the original game.
