cause MGS sucks my d1ck

High, High, High, High, High... Sigh.


You don't like Metal Gear!? What the hell is wrong with you? Have some kind of brain defect?

Minus one respect point for High.

And self esteem bar went down one, MGS3!! OMFG I FORGOT!!!

Im pretty low on respect points after i pwned you all with Firekame

No, its John.

because



thats why you don't see any Metal Gear Solid Threads, wait a month or so

I'm pretty sure it's John.

PS: Shmeeps, whenever I see your avy I get a little picture of Leo shouting "cock" in my head... tehe... cock

I liked it, the capagian was kind of to short i think but its really cool to play on live.
If anyone wants a match my gamertag is entok anyway.

Heheh, TURKEY! FOWL LAUNGUAGE!

Man, EVERY one says that the campaign was too short, but it was like 50 time longer than halo1's.

Actually, its called a targeticing recticle, but I think its easier to say aimer than targeting recticle. Don't see why it matters.

It doesn't matter, it just sounds wierd and awkward.

"targetting redicle"
Err... ya, I was wrong too.
Though, "aiming redicle" is used too, so whatever.

I believe I say this for everyone:

If you have a broadband connection and can use either XboxConnect or Xbox Live, OR can play with many friends, it's a worthwhile purchase, if not THE best multiplayer game to get on the Xbox.

However, if you have slow internet and are usually play the Xbox by yourself, it's mediocre as the single player will have you very disappointed.

In other words: Buy this for the multiplayer.

Wrong on both. Zoom is gone for pistol, its weaker now, shotgun is weaker.

They have a tribute to the pistol in the second level where you get 'Blind Mode' The skull represents death, grenades power, and the telescope the scope from the pistol. In otherwords they mourn the death of the pistol's zoom and power. If you dont know about blind mode or any other modes that I've heard about then just find it on the internet.

Ok i started playing halo 2 on friday and beat it on sunday.

first it starts out kinda like halo 1 but as you play through you notice new added things more turrets more weapons, dual wielding, energy swords.

they put more multiplayer levels/vehicles and you can jump in a warthog even if an enemy is driving, you can hijack the vehicles all but phantoms and shadows slightly better gameplay. and finally we got to see the game from the covenants point of view while playing as the arbiter the 1 thing that bugged me is that the brutes and jackals started fighting the hunters, grunts, elites and i have yet to find out why. and the way halo 2 ended was really bad the master chief is in earths orbit in thecenter of a massive battle, cortana is with some crazy demon thing and i forgot where the arbiter ended but all it left it rite at a great part and i'm sure alot of people think this as well (if you've played and beaten the game) if they don't make a halo3 that the story line wont end up getting finished and alot of people will end up mad, but besides the ending the game was great the pistol isn't a god now lol

I give it a 9/10

it shows that my sources (this dumbass kid, whom i hate, but is my bro's friend) are not very reliable sources

w/e u do dont let that stop you from palying. Its still an awesome game. The pistol can still own it you dual wild it. Just dont count on 1 hit ko's on a hunter. (which I think look better in Halo: Combat Evolved) Even though the game ends in the worst possible way (kinda like the first LOTR) its still good. The worst part about the ending to me was that you didnt end it playing as MC. OMG! How terrible of bungie! They coulda made at least 1 more level so taht you end as MC and not the Arbiter.

Funniest sight in my Halo 2 experience: A jackal that was caught between a bus and a wall that kept swinging his arms and legs like they do when they fly through the air. Like he was stuck flying into the wall.

i was thinking pretty much the same thing when i beat it a few weeks ago, but i'm going to add that the energy sword is a tad bit to strong i found a way of jumping to a target 1 floor above slahing it then quickly slashing a target rite behind it 1 hit killing both, and after you slash the 2nd 1 it sends you about 20+ feet in the direction you were facing when you first started the attack, and the final boss hes cool i wish you could use that guy in multiplayer for his godly shields and his awesome hammer

6/10 cause of the ending

it didn't let me stop from playing it played it on sunday, i have to admit, it is not as fast paced as Halo 1, but it is definatly worth buying, when i get an xbox of course

Edit: Comp messed up and put it like 4 times

Sword is meant to be strong. Your not gonna want a sword that cant cut, especially a covenant plasma sword. And as for the final boss, well i didnt like it because of the shields. It should just been a 1 on 1. his hammer w/ its magnetic crap (like he did to 343 Guilty Spark) sucking stuff in and then shooting it back out at you. Your team remains behind holding off other brutes from attacking you. But their shots still enter the battle field.

The pistol is not a 'god' anymore but dual "magnums" are still powerful, course dual smgs blows them out of the water.

First off, there are TONS of frikin replys to this topic. But, since I have played Halo2, I can see why . Halo 2, I would say, is the GREATEST game ever (so far ).

It has everything we loved about halo, and much much more.

You get to knock enemys out of vehicles
You get to blow vehicles the f*%k up!
Lots of new vehicles
Lots of new weapons
Duel wielding
New maps
Clan features (Which is AWSOME!)

Those and many others are great additions to the game

Bad things (ones I can think of at the moment)

You don't have any hit points (at least not visible ones), you just die after a couple shots when your shield is down
Some features on x box live are frustrating, such as the optimatch and quickmatches, they have some good and bad features tho, not to terrible (pretty good actually)
Your vehicles can get blown the f*%k up!
A little bit to close to being alike the first one, kind of a Halo 1.75 =)

Thats all I can think of now, but over all, it is a GREAT game

I guess I may as well start whining...

- They ed over the physics. They ed them over bad.
- The plasma pistol now sucks major ass.
- The handling on the ghost and the banshee is fun but it's crap in comparison to the first game.
- You can play through the game on legendary in one sitting 5 ing times and it still says that you only beat it on easy.
- They took out that final little "bleep" that sounds right before a split screen game starts, and that pisses me off.
- That ing focus thing it does all the time is annoying. Do they have a patch for that yet?
- They took out the health bar (what the ing hell.)
- For some god damned reason you can only use the fuel rod cannon in campaign.
- You can't make your armor black. "Steel" sucks hard. I want my black and pink elite.
- Melee attacks are sucky.
- Drones piss me off.
- The SMGs have recoil issues. Why is it that you can shoot a rocket launcher and feel nothing, but shoot two SMGs and totally lose control!?
- There wasn't enough snow.
- The elites talk.
- There really should not have been a giant talking flood... thing.
- They took out side winder.
- The multiplayer levels are to cluttered.
- The banshee can't fire it's fuel rod gun in mutiplayer.
- Vehicles break down way to easily. You should be able to set how much damage they can take before they explode (or if they take damage at all.)
- If you're playing co-op on legendary, and one of you dies, you both have to restart. This is awesome unless you have friends who decide on a whim that that gold elite with the energy sword over there needs a hug.
- Shotguns are weaker.
- Vehicles can't handle the terrain the way they used to, which sucks because of how cluttered the MP maps are.
- After so mush was cut out of the game the story was hard to follow.
- Stupid anticlimactic ending...

You moron the game doesnt tell you what difficulty you beet it on in the level selct area anymore. You have to look at your profile, it will say what your highelt level it and on what difficulty. But if you beet the game on easy and then the 1st level on legendary, it will still record your highest as the last level on easy.


Fall damage Im guessing is what you mean. Ya but this is a new suit hes in. I agree that there should be some damage but in Halo: Combat Evolved the fall damage was crazy. Another issue might be that your corpse flys into a wall and wont stop right away when it hits like it should.


omg calm down baby. The game isnt about the beep before the battle starts. Its all about hearing "Slayer" or something.


Some, but not all. Have you seen Burrial Gounds? That map is nothing but open space.

Because the SMGs keep shooting while rockets shoot slowly. Plus the rocket launcher rests on his shoulders, 2 SMGs are just sitting in his hands.


Its cheap, just like a tank. But if your any good you wont need it in the first place. Plus banshees suck, why would you use one unless you want to get to higher ground?


-Snow?! is that wats bugging you? Play on lockout then! There cant be snow in the first 3 levels anyways because of the fact that you are in Africa, and the snow isnt important anyways.
-I prefer hearing them say "The enemy is well hidden" instead of "wabooshka" They obviously have more knowledge of the Covenenant so they have translators built into his suit or something. Remember this is 550ish years in the future.
-The "giant talking flood... thing" or Gravemind was the only thing that saved Chief and the Arbiter from death. So if you dont want him in there then Chief dies. No more Halo 3.
-Side winder was fun but look at it like this: They took out all the old levels except Beaver Creek and Coagulation which are remakes of old levels! Dont complain about 1 lousy level, especially Side Winder when we all know that Heng Em High was the best.


You must have a stupid friend. And you said it yourself: "awesome"


No, Elites and Chief are just stronger. Shotgun still royally own the flood and other weak Covenant. Plus 2 solid hits will still kill someone in multiplayer.


I suppose handling the terrain in sidewinder or in the snow which you so badly miss was better then the handling in Halo 2? Plus i thought i died on a ghost when i was hit off a cliff but I managed to boost my way back up. Woulda died easily in the first Halo.


Not if you pay attention. heres what happens in a very large nutshell:
You start in a MAC gun satelite station, defend it, get onto a ship, defend New Mombassa, get back on the ship, jump through slipspace. Then while all that was happening you were also playing as the Arbiter hunting down the Heratic leader and the flood. Then back to chief who lands on another halo. Makes his way to the temple in the middle of a lake, kills the Prophet and jumps into a lake. Back to the arbiter who is looking for the Index. They both fall down into the clutches of the Gravemind, he sends them to 2 different locations, Chief searches for the prophet of truth who has the index. He arrives just as Truth leaves. Arbiter starts killing Brutes who have murdered the council. He finds and kills Tartarus who was about to activate Halo. Tadaa.


Kinda like the first LOTR movie if you saw it in theaters and had to wait a few months before the next one came out. But that movie still won a hell of a lot of awards.

My complaints are that the game ends as you playin as the Arbiter instead of Chief, the secondary explosions on the vehicles occur every friggin time a vehicle dies (it should be at random times when they explode afor the second time), the Elites and Spartans in multiplayer are exactly the same, they should each have their own advantages (Like active camo vs more health or higher jump vs faster run; stuff like that), Tartarus has a gay shield, Marines and Elites arent very good drivers, you cant ride on the side of tanks anymore or tell units to get off of them. Fire doesnt hurt you at all, and the delay in movie quality.

When the hell did I say that it tell's what dificulty you beat it on on the level select? I said that I beat the game on legendary and it still says I only beat the game on easy. Here, let me simplify it for you:

It says
"Highest level:
The Great Journey
on Easy"

It should say
"Highest level:
The Great Journey
on Legendary"

I don't even know how to respond to this. You call me a baby for (jokingly) complaining about the beep before each match and then you make a crack about hearing "slayer."

Have you seen Burrial Grounds? It is most definitely not what I (or any sane person) would consider "open".

First of all, if you understood the story (which judging form your post you clearly believe you do) you would know that MC is fully capable of holding a gun level. Secondly, I would like to know how you explain MC's being able to flip over a tank, and yet still fumbling with two little SMGs.

And it wouldn't suck if you could use the fule rod gun.

A) If you can't tell that my post wasn't entirely serious by now, there is something deeply wrong with you, you poor, confused little child.
B) Snow adds a sort of alluring ambiance to the landscape. Also, players with white armor can hide, taking advantage of the cover offered by snowy terrain.
C) I do play Lockout.
D) I never said that there should be snow in Africa, I merely stated that there wasn't enough of it in the game.

Remember that doesn't follow the story. Grunts have translators, Elites do not.

The "giant talking flood... thing" or Gravemind was the only thing that saved Chief and the Arbiter from death. So if you dont want him in there then Chief dies. No more Halo 3.[/QUOTE]
The Gravemind in it's entirety was a bad idea. Do I really need to explain why that giant, green, slimy, bulbous er shouldn't have been in the game? Its just ing stupid. Period. And how do you fail to see that if he (she?) were not there, Bungie would have just conjured up some other means of survival for Chief and the arbiter?
[QUOTE]Side winder was fun but look at it like this: They took out all the old levels except Beaver Creek and Coagulation which are remakes of old levels! Dont complain about 1 lousy level, especially Side Winder when we all know that Heng Em High was the best.[/QUOTE]
Still, it was amung the best. Really, they shouldn'y have taken any maps out. At the very least they could have left us Damnation, Hang 'em High, and Sidewinder.

Vehicles handled no different on snow than they did on normal terrain (although, driving on ice was fun.) Unless you mean falling off into an abyss, you'd be hard-pressed to find a way to die falling off a cliff in a ghost in the first game. Finally, you can't boost back onto a cliff unless your right up next to it, and even then it couldn't be very steep.

Um, yeah.

One last thing...

- Grab an energy sword, look down, turn left, look at your leg.

My Halo2 Limited Edition was a bit expensive, but it was worth it...

Looks like someone needs to learn quoting... COUGH COUGH Chill...



Well I think the multiplayer is decent and the single player very lacking... I would give Halo 2 a... 7.

Well I finally played and beat the game.

I used to love the pistol but now it's a crappy magnum that can't zoom. And the way pistoles melee was cool. Sniper rifle looks cooler and the hunters look cooler. Needlers look cooler. Shotgun uglier...Energy sword awsome.

I found some things that were kinda like Starcraft *coughcopyscnames*

First off!

1. Wraith tanks
2. Arbiter
3. Drone
4. Scarab gun
5. Aliens have shields (protoss)

Humans(Terran) Convonant(Protoss) Flood(Zerg)

I think there was a few more but cant think of it. I know some are very general names but

I don't like how in legendary in multiplayer one of your friends die and you have to restart from last checkpoint. Unlike the other modes where you can respawn your friend. 3 shots from the plasma rifle and you are dead...

I wish I could play as a grunt it would be so funny. Funny little guys. Play as a hunter...crazy.

I like how our friends in the game say more stuff and some even say some funny things.

Funniest one I've heard was " One time I ran out of grenades and I threw my sandwich instead" "*Something by some other guy*" "No really! It's true" Then he dies after a while. It was funny hearing it.

Overall I think it was good. The only bad things I think were the guns and the ending,
