Well, Halo 2's been out for a couple of days. Thoughts? I bought it this evening, very impressed. The AI is devious. I was surrounded by some Elites in a courtyard, but I was having my way with them. A couple of them jumped up on top of the 15 foot pillars, and when I turned around after fragging their buddy, I couldn't see them, even though they were still on the radar. They were raining laserbeam death down on me from their high perch. Smart. I did eventually dismember them with some grenades, though. It's neat that these enemies have a sense of danger and self-preservation, though. Too many FPS' have moronic enemies that were born to die. The elites on legendary care about themselves, have souls. It almost hurts me more than them when I shoot off their faces. Quite an experience, really epic so far. Kicks off with a bang, fuck. Riveting, and you just gotta grin when you get to the first jeep (I usually take the machine gun at the back... the computer drives better than me). I haven't went online with it yet, I'll save that for when I beat the campaign. And of course, beautiful graphics, but that was a given. |

xbox has halo, and ps2 has GTA:SA... I'm stuck with GTA, which isn't a bad thing. |

Ouch, that sucks. I'd rather be fragging the Covenant aliens than the commies. Or whoever you guys are fighting over there. I still don't have GTA, but I'm looking every day... been a week since I brought it back to Blockbuster. The game of the year race might come down to GTA and Halo. GTA scraped out a victory over Halo on both the Gamespot and IGN scores... For me, it's GTA, Ninja Gaiden... or Metal Gear Solid 3, next week. |

OK so now that I have kina absorbed it a little more, I have to say it is absolutely beautiful. Better controls, two fisting weapons, and overall just FUNx10. I am so anxious to jump online and play. |

I had a go on the original and I didn't like it. I'll give this one a whirl too. |

sold ! |

I quite loved the original. and I do not normally like dumb FPS games. |

After getting a little further in... the style in this game is improved big time. Lots of massive, ultra-modern alien architecture, I'm loving it. The levels are a lot more eventful aesthetically than Halo 1. No levels like that boring Library. And the Arbiter level that opens up on that cliff overlooking that massive triangle building looks spectacular. And the levels where you DON'T play as Master Chief are my favorite... won't reveal too much in case it spoils something for someone, but I like controlling the ''other guy''... feels like a ninja with that Predator-ish stealth cloak. When the shit hits the fan and ''you know who'' turns on you because of ''you know what'', those Brutes are a blast to fight. Fucking plasma swords, man... everytime I see one, I pick it up and make mincemeat outta motherfuckers. |

Brilliant game,bought it yesterday,and have been playing it on heroic ( is there any point playing it on an easier setting!?!?!?! :D) First few levals are very impressive ( where you get the tank,and have to jump on the the big spider thing)......but after that,its back to the alien planets and shit,great and all that,but it should be set more on earth.......hopefully the last few levals you return to it...... I bought gta san andreas last week as well,which is obviosly brilliant,but i`m playing halo more now ;) brilliant graphics,brilliant game......... |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
if you just baught Halo 1 (for sale).... Is it worth buying Halo 2 straight away? Is it that much better? |
||||||||
|
|

"free fall" - all i can say is wow. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I havent played it but i can tell you yes based on my studies. |
||||||||
|

I have heard and read some bad reviews about the single campaign storyline. that it doesn't end satisfactorily, just kind of.. stops. |
||||||||

i beat it last night hehe :) |

Yeah, the game ends basically in the middle of what I THOUGHT was a level transition... the credits came up and a speech balloon saying ''WTFOMG-already''? popped up over my head. But looking back, the campaign is no shorter or less satisfying length-wise than any other FPS, it just... ends sourly, and during a really intense sequence where nothing gets solved or completed and everything just gets crazier and crazier. Sets us up for Halo 3, but... could have done it better. At least let us accomplish SOMETHING. It leaves me feeling like the universe is in even worse shape that it was when I started the first level. And I'll have to wait 3-4 years to finish what I started. Irritating. Axion/Chihiro- it improves on Halo 1 in every concievable way, though it's pretty much what you'd expect. I would say it would be totally lame to be playing Halo 1 when you could be playing Halo 2. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||

that is exactly what I heard.. sounds very annoying, especially as (like you say) it'll be years till it gets a sequel. |

Is anyone here online with HALO 2? I plan to be getting the XBOX live link this week. My good friend was also dissapointed with the "Campaign" mode ending. He also said that the online expierence makes up for it x10. I hope its as good as he's saying and as good as I have read. So far I am on the "temple in the middle of the lake" part, yeah I know its not far but I am not that good @ the game yet. I do love this game alot, 9.9 out of 10 |

yes, the game is excellent. there's a Halo 2 tourney at a local anime shop soon, with a cash prize, so me and my friends need to brush up on our skills. I do have one comment though - the mulitplayer seems to be a bit lacking - been playing multiplayer at this store, and it seems very often that it is a race to see who gets to the sniper rifle or sword first. but yes, i have high marks for this game. the cinematics are excellent, controls splendid as usual with Halo, and the AI is top-notch. Legendary is SO difficult - and SO fun - especially since they ditched respawning - they upped the ante for sure. |

I bought H2 tuesday and have managed to tile the kitchen- install an over the counter microwave and still play it most of the way through-yeh and I worked 40 hours- top that you slackers!. Normal difficulty does seem a bit easy- so you might wanna up it first time through- I didnt though so I can just kinda run through it as the bodies pile up around me. The vehicle play is what's the tits of this incarnation. You get the opprotunity to destroy major machinery. I cannot describe how pissed I am that I did not get to pilot the giant Crab thing. bought the " special limited edition" cus its got a dvd making of, spiffy aluminum case and 2 months free "Live". PS2 owners can suck my bump-mapped Master Chief! Go play gangster and jack a lamborghini tool! |

I went through the game on easy the first time, heh. I just wanted to see the sights and do the story unhindered. There really are some remarkable space opera moments. I moved up to Legendary after beating the game once... promptly got owned, hardcore. I mean, ''die 30 times before I can beat a flying elite squadron'' hardcore. Just beating the first red elite was a fucking chore. And it think it took me a good 45 minutes just to get out of that first hangar bay (where you get the grenades for the first time). Seems considerably harder than Halo 1 on that setting, to me... so for now, I'm going to play through on Heroic, I'm handling myself well. I'm not a AAA Halo player, so this setting is finely tuned to my skills. I love the headgames you have to play with the AI to beat them on Heroic, and especially Legendary. The higher ranking fuckers can can get a headshot from 100 feet away if you leave your ear visible from your cover for 2 seconds... arg... it really takes some effort to out-fight them. I don't think anything in an FPS is as satisfying as making a (Legendary) red or white elite back off behind a wall to catch their breath, then sneaking around behind them to get the one hit melee kill. Such a relief when you catch them being careless. One thing I miss from the Rainbow Six games... leaning. I always feel like such a huge target when I sidestep out to get a shot off. |

"One thing I miss from the Rainbow Six games... leaning. I always feel like such a huge target when I sidestep out to get a shot off." I always miss that in games too, although not because of Rainbow Six, but because of Thief, and just to have a look really, not to shoot - I just want to be able to have a look what the hell is happening without getting shot to pieces. :) |

i have broadband in my room so is it as easy as buying live and sticking the cables from the modem into the xbox? must play it now. on live. i thought it is a shame that you leave earth, i fucking loved those stages, amazing fun smashing the tanks doors in and nicking them, especially in co-op. |

i always thought halo was pish. can't imagine halo 2 being any better. little cartoon baddies. it's a little kiddies game. |

im trying it on heroic and its hard as nails. great game! |
||||||||

The game seems nearly impossible on Legendary. I'm really getting my ass handed to me everytime I try. Heroic is really hard too, but the game is generous with the checkpoints and has non-existent load times, so it's never frustrating. Heroic is perfectly balanced and paced. Man, though... I had to get really lucky before I managed to beat those hangars on Legendary... |

I heard H3 will launch on Xbox2. Something like it was already being made by another team of developers or something. I have read a number of things but then again i dont follow it all that close |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i agree about the balance on heroic. im getting my ass kicked very hard but its also very rewarding to hit each checkpoint :) |
