Tell what you like about halo 2 and hate about it. For me the mostpart is they said they would add destructible enviroment and a driveable truck. But thats only among many other things. The entire story they made up was just some bull censored.gif and the ending my best guess was microsofts doing.

What I like about it is you can play Co-op, And you can play as both races...And don't like how the shot gun, Ans power sword are always 1 hit kill, Exspecially when I play my
brother.

Bad things about Halo 2: The health bar is gone. The radar is not as good as it was in the first Halo. The pistol is much better on Halo 1. The sniper have 5x zoom instead of 2x zoom as in Halo 1. The missions was more entertaining in Halo 1. I miss the assault rifle from Halo 1 sad.gif.
Good things about Halo 2: Dual weapons. Heatseeking rockets from the rocketlauncher (mostly I don't like them cause I like the Ghost happy.gif ). Speed boost on covenant vehicles. Faster fireing on the Scorpion tank. New vehicles. New weapons. The Warthog is now more beginner friendly, doesnt skid when you turn unless you want to. The Warthog got a horn uberwoot.gif !!!
I post something more later if there is something I have forgot.

[justify]You don't always kill in one shot. Well maybe in muliplayer but in campaignes it takes sometimes two slices to kill an elite. And shotgun if you shoot from far away, it hardly does anything.

Anyways, I don't like how it is only for X-Box because I don't own one. Just borrow my friend's constantly. Some guns don't look as cool as before and no more cool pistol melee. [/justify]

Cons: Sucky Battle Rifle, scopeless pistols, gay ending.
Just about everything else is a pro.

Swords are only 1 hit KO when you got your target cursor on ur enemy and it's red.

Agreed with all except the missions. I like the Halo2 missions much more. I like how the story comes from both MasterCheif and the Arbiter's (covenant) side. The story in the first one is good but it's just not as much as the second one. Only thing bad about the second one is that it kinda leaves you hanging in the wrong spot at the wrong time.

No there's more human missions. But the covenant missions are more fun because your allies are stronger (elites) and it's funny being with all the little grunts.

Yea cuz elites have more shield, i wonder why they made it that way.

If you dont have an X-box, buy one now happy.gif
If you do, you'll get a free 2 month free subscription to xbox live and you get two free games (NCAA football and Topspin Tennis). Good deals biggrin.gif

- It's not that easy to die or kill.
- Mission list isn't that neccesary. The two different sides can't really be played seperately; they all fit together and made a good story.
- Then just play Co-OP play it offline
- Aye. Yes! I totally agree with you. They seriously need those
- Story is fine. Infact i think it's better than last one. Just the ending sorta stinks

Pros:
Easier to die in
harder legendary for pros like me
A couple cool new weapons
exploding vehicles
duel wielding
skulls (most specificly GBP and sputnik skulls combo)
lots of easter eggs
jacking vehicles
brute shot
addition to certain vehicles
homing rockets
banshis n multiplayer

Cons:
Is it just me or did anyone else like the graphics for halo 1 better?
Better intro music in halo 1
more random elements then in halo 1 so skill player a smaller part
Energy sword is annoying as hell.... worst melee weapon ever (cheapest that is)
toke away sipy hole in tank
made blood gultche smaller
made head shots on most weapons useless until shields are down
multiplayer levels not as cool/ good
campaign skips around a lot
made shotgun look like censored.gif

That is a bad thing actuallly. In halo 1, you could zoom in 2x with the pistol - but with the sniper rifle you could zoom in 8x. (To get 8x, you have to press the same botton you used to zoom in after you are zoomed in a little bit)

Do you know how many times I have survived playing on halo 1 on line, because of how many times the warthog has skidded? Once I killed 10 of my opponents in 2 seconds because I ran them over - and I was trying to avoid that! uberwoot.gif yahoo.gif

Actually, it already had a horn. You had to be in the drivers seat (in multiplayer games) and pressing your fire button to hear it.


offtopic.gif I wonder if you even played a game of halo 1????

Feeling lazy, so this post is as far as I read, but...
Health bar gone bad? It means that you don't have to go around looking for powerups.
One of the things that made Halo special was that if you tried to fight more then you can kill, then you retreat, let your shields heal, and start plannin'.
'radar'? Mottion Tracker... and anyways, what's worse about it?
The pistol? Well, as far the Plasma Pistol, it's harder to dodge the tracking bolts, and since you can duel wield, shield-head-combo is easier. As for the M6C, it's also improved in some ways, such as the fact that 2 M6C's dueled will kill in a couple seconds at an appropriate range.
The sniper may have 5x Zoom, but you have a built-in 2x or so zoom now, which is good enough for me.
Less entertaining levels? For me, they're just less repetetive.
Though, true, taking out the MA5B was bad.
They should have had a multi-player option for replacing weapons with their Halo:CE originals.

Actually, the only reason I am able to make maps is because a friend gave me his old 166 Mghz computer. (His former computer is almost 8 years old now.) I want to get halo 2, but I want to buy a laptop even more. That way, I can say, "MWAHAHAH! TAKE THIS WINDOWS 98, YOU PIECE OF S---!"

Well i only bought a x-box for halo, Then halo 2 came out. I was like YAY.
but after playing it on all levels of play and beating it. I was like what a waste of time.
The story line is Crap, Why do we have to play as the aliens *cant spell name lol* We play as the aliens more than the humans, That is crap..
Grapichs look a little better in halo, than in halo 2. But it is good in some ways its harder, when you have no health bar. Since yu can never tell what your life is like.
But oh well.

not just the graphics, also the colors used, the hews in halo 2 are much brighter toned, i liked the darker tones of halo 1. by graphics i meant the genral loom of the game, i liked halo 1's look better.

I know of 2 funny glitches.

1. 1 person gets a Scorpion tank. 1 other person gets a Wraith. Have them both ram into eachother but make sure the wraith uses boost. Then watch the tank fly all over the stage at high speeds.(This doesn't work all the time, but it'll work if you keep trying.

2. Have 1 person get an Energy Sword and get in the Side Seat of a Warthog. Have 1 other person get in a banshee and fly over to you. Have that person get out and walk up to the person in the Warthog. Have the guy in the Warthog slice the other person(when the cursor is red). Then have the guy go back to the banshee. Then have the banshee fly off to somewhere far. Then get out of the warthog and you'll fly to where the banshee stopped.
