the game starts off showing what happens after halo 1...then the very small tutorial starts off just like halo 1...a short monorail ride (probably an homage to Half Life) and some action kicks off right after another cut scene
first you'll notice that the HUD has changed a little bit, then the ability to duel weild guns comes in handy...and unlike most games, you can duel wield any combination of hand guns...but doing this restricts you from tossing the lovely grenades...
then you'll notice the AI has better aim subsequently your shield recharges faster ;D
you run into a couple new enemies such as.........grey versions of the little guys....ok that's not the only new creature you'll run into
so far most of the guns are the same
i had to arrange a booty call so i turned off the game, as much as i like video games, nothing beats poon
i'll have more on the game tomorrow
-
and i almost forgot, it comes with 2 free month of xbox live, so i better be seeing all you broadband, cock eyed, bastards on xbox live

Got this today. Man, this shit is action-packed! So far it's wayyyyyyyyy better than the first one. The levels, and especially the graphics have been improved a lot. Nice game.

i could probably make 2 or three more before they start getting lumped together...my question is how many more topics you gonna waste life reading and responding to that you don't care about? ;D

well the game is alot of the same old same old. it's still decent like the first game but i still don't see why people think this is the best game in the world...so probably if you thought the first one was an orgasmic experience, this one will be the same for you....but to me it's just another game and here's why
SPOILER
well i was hoping this game would take place on earth but nope, it finds itself back on a Halo...this means very similer levels just with about 4 new guns and 4 new enemies. the story is a little more interesting, i don't actually see where it's heading so it gives me a reason to kill the same 6 things over for the next 10 hours...

ok.. just finished playing it for about 12hrs straight, had a 16 person multi-player game.. it KICKS ASS.
-
i just beat the game today... i didn't even have to fight the end guy, he was chasing me and he fell off the fucking platform...that is some great AI... finished the game in little over 10 hours
this game gets about a 9.0 from me, the multiplayer does add some extra playability to the game
-
I had been waiting for this game for over 2 years. Now that I finally got it, I am NOT dissappointed!
The single player is longer than the first Halo, and IMO, alot tougher. People who beat the game in 10 hours on Heroic or Normal and say the game isn't hard, I say this...play it on Legendary. If you can beat this game in 10 hours on Legendary...then maybe this game is too easy for you...go play San Andreas or something.
The Xbox Live component of Halo 2 ONLY makes it much better. True, I wish you could pick the map and gametype you wanna play in Optimatch, but I do like the Matchmaking system. Most of the maps are very well designed, and are very fun to play on. My favorites are Coagulation, Zanzibar, Beaver Creek, and Midship. Some of the 16-player "Big Team Battle" games can get laggy, but for the most part its quite stable.
The Energy Sword is a HUGE hit. If you turn a corner and see me with that sword, you better run the other way...or if you're too close, then kiss your ass goodbye. It truly is an Anti-Son-of-a-Bitch-Stick...but to balance it out, its totally useless against ranged enemies (as in, its ONLY good at close to mid-close ranges...after that its useless). Dual-Wielding is awesome! I love getting an SMG and a Plasma Rifle to drop people real quick...and having two pistols is fun as hell. The new lock-on system in the Rocket Launcher doesn't take away from the fun...it adds to it! Watching a Rocket follow a Banshee half-way across a map, and then see it blow the damn thing to bits is awesome.
Overall, I give this game a 9.9/10. I don't think its perfect...that is clearly shown in the end of the single player. I won't give anything away, but when you beat the game, you'll know exactly what I mean when I say: ".....what the fuck?". This is, by far, the greatest FPS I have ever played.
PS: Smerlus, you can't take that one instance and say "great AI"...with very few exceptions, the AI in this game is smart. On Legendary...the AI is VERY smart, and VERY tough.
-
the game on legendary is a bitch. It takes me a while to get through each checkpoint. I beat it on Heroic and it was fun all the way through
-
do you get anything special if you beat it in legendary?
Im not a hardcore gamer so im only gonna play it on normal and after i finish it I probably wont play it agian on single player...but the multiplayer kicks ass!!!!!!!

it just really pissed me off that i play a game for 10 hours to have the end guy commit suicide after 2 shots and then see a gay ending...a game has never been so anti-climatic for me
oh and as for multi player... totally average.
it's gay that you can't pick your maps...
i've been thrown into so many lagging games it's not funny.
i played online for 2 hours and about 90 minutes of that was spent at loading screens.
there's already suspected cheaters, i watched through a sniper scope as a guy tossed a plasma grenade on an opponent, another guy blasted him with duel wielded machine guns and a ghost ran him over, plus a few sniper shots by me...and he killed them all and got away
fact is, if you think this is a great multiplayer game, you should pic up some games on a computer or play SOCOM...

it does suck we have to wait for a third halo to see an actual ending

be happy if it's only until the third halo :D
I figure this will be the xbox - franchise. They'll might take it until part 6 or 7 on xbox 3 or so.. lol.
Kinda like Mario on Nintendo... well not that strong.. but comparable.
