I haven't been on Bungie's boards but I decided to visit tonight because I am absolutely disgusted with the way this game came out. I mean when you devote 3 years to develope a game that is a sequel to one of the most popular games of all time you would figure that said sequel would have a little more depth. With all of the negative response I wouldn't be surprised if you see used copies by the truckload stacked up at your local game retailer.

This is one of the most unoriginal shallow games I have played in a long time. For one thing, haven't they been showcasing how this game is supposed to take place on earth? Two levels at the beggining of the game and then it's off to another halo. The whole game is basically a repeat of the first one with the same boring loops and a couple of new aliens thrown in. The first Halo started to become very redundant towards the end but it still was an enjoyable game because the story kept it going. In Halo 2 there really is no story, except you have to fight the same aliens again and do the same exact thing you had to do in the first game.

I am playing multiplayer with friends and it's ok, but I buy games usually for the single player and boy was this a big letdown.

And the ending? There is no ending, the game ends and you just sit there wondering why you just played this game.

First Doom 3 and now Halo 2, can't wait for Half Life 2.


PS- They spent all that time on the E3 demo where you are on earth fighting the aliens and none of that happens in the game. I think they probably tried to make this game too big and ended up scrapping a bunch of ideas.

the game rocks. and if it doesnt meet your high expectations then whoopdeefucking doo go cry else where.

I dunno im finding it interesting so far, the whole point of showing it was on earth in the trailers was travelling to another halo was obviously meant to be a big plot twist. Its part 2 of a 3 part game so i expect the ending to be a cliffhanger, reviewers have already said the ending for halflife2 is a cliffhanger as well so it shouldn't come as any suprise to anyone if the ending is sort of abrupt.

FUCKGERVIAINTGOTTHATFAR.

Neither have i biggrin: Playing through it on co-op mode. Only gay thing is the screens split vertically instead of the horizontal split like in the original. oOo:

[elstatec]

ive only played the sp a bit, multiplayer is hot shit. goldeneye matching fun rock:

cant get enough of blood gulch!

[Miscguy]

What? My split screen is horizontal like the first one.

As for the game, its far beyond the awsomeness of the first. Far fewer repeating "maps". Im probably only about half way through, i'll wrap up the other half this afternoon, but so far its been a pretty good balence. Im not completly thrilled about the split story line, but its for a good purpose i suppose, probably more building blocks for halo 3 than anything else. Overall id say most reviewing sites are pretty dead nuts on with there scores. Though i do wish they would stop bitching about the ending, since most should know, that it is like gerv said, part 2 of 3.

[geRV]

Think the screen split has something to do with tv aspect ratio, for me its down the middle which is pretty annoying to play co-op with.

What is a 'Halo 2' and how do I avoid it at all costs?

It's a hallucinogen similar to ecstacy. To avoid it, refrain from going to raves, grocery stores, doctors' offices, and old age homes.
