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.
