I'm sorry if this kind of halo 2 topic has already been made... i dont come to the gaming section much...

Anyway, I would like your feedback on Halo 2. And don't just go: "OMG!1! ITS GREAT!", give reasons and things you don't like about it too!

Ill start with mine.

Now i havent actually played it, but looking at G4TechTv, It looks good overall, 5/5. But there are a few things wrong with it.

First, the guns are a little too similar to Unreal - Tournament 2004 (i.e. Lasers). Eerily close to it. The pistol (my favorite weapon) has no scope on it and it doesn't pack as much of a punch. But the needler is no longer a useless weapon! And you can jump from ANY height and survive. This is earth! Hello! More Gravity = Less jump space if not equal.

Other than that, it looks great. The main character guy (No clue in name, can someone fill me in?) has LEGS! How fυcking Cool is THAT! And hi-jacking vehicles is awesome!

The main reason I'll be playing it is because of the plot, I have played Halo 1 in patches when I was at my neighbor's house, (I have no X-Box, but i might get one for christmas + halo 1 biggrin.gif) but I've never played it straight through.

Overall, I give it a 5 out of 5, and recomment it to everyone who can handle blood + guns.

i love all of the previews i've seen about it, i have not played it yet cause my friends are asses, i like the story of saving earth, but i dislike how they changed the pistol, i LOVE the ability to use banshees in multiplayer and all the things Kow said (like the only thing i dislike from the previews is the pistol being changed, but you can dual it biggrin.gif

Edit: i love the new look for the needlers

Apparently the game is awesome but then ednging sucks.
Dont read if you don't want spolied

Anyways, apparently, my friend told me, that in the end you are about to fight the big covenant boss. Before you actually begin to fight him the game ends and we must wait another 3 years for halo 3 to come out. So...ending sucks huh? I don't have an X-box but I played Halo 1 at friends house and it was good. Can;t wait to go over to play halo2...

Master Chief's real name is John.

His Spartan Serial number is 117.



My Review : I give it a 9/10

Bad Side : I hate the ending and in my opinion the single player was way too short. Pistol is a bit more weak but I guess they wanted to undertone the gun because of it's strength.

Good Side: Multiplayer games are great and I love the new energy sword.
Also elites don't have near perfect aim anymore. In Halo 1 they always seemed to hit you even if it's just a crack between you and the elite.

It was an awesome game, but the ending really sucked, I mean all they were doing is setting it up for halo3, also if your buying it for the capaign be warned, it is shorter than I expected but it rocked. And multiplayer on Xbox live is teh bomb.

Guess you never played it on legendary. The covenant snipers have 100% accuracy at your head at anytime if there is a space between you and them.

I think they did a good thing when they tuned down the pistol...
Why?
Because in Halo 1, look at the MA5B.
It looks like your uber all-around battle rifle(any jokes based on this line are by definition stupid).
Look at the M6D.
It looks like a piece of censored.gif .

Now, compare how USEFUL and GOOD they are, as opposed to their looks. The M6D owns the main weapon of the game... WTF.
Anyway, duel-wielding should be enough to compensate for the decreased damage and lack of scope.
In fact, it will probably still be one of my favorite weapons.

that is true, and i heard they made the shotgun more powerful and that you can use the same zoom as this pistol, plus you can dual the pistol with anyother weapon that is dualable, like a pistol and needler biggrin.gif

i really,REALLY wish i could play Halo 2. But my dad won't let me play my copy after he saw my report card. It wasn't enough to take away my internet, but enough to take away Halo 2. I didn't even get to touch the disk yet!

It's Awesome. Few things really cool, some things, well, suck.

Cool:
Trading weapons with ally's: Say your marine has that sexy sniper rifle you want. You don't have to kill him anymore XD
Duel Wield: Awesome with certain combo's, like plasma Rifle/Pistol and SMG. One takes down shield, the other takes down health.
Covenant Campaign: Usually, I don't like when people make it so you play opposing sides in the same campaign. SW Battlefronts is a perfect example, you fight for one side, then the other. It sucks. But Halo2 makes it go together so cooly that I really did like it.
XBox Live: No more hackers on Gamespy Tunneling biggrin.gif
Hi-Jacking things: Nuff Said XD
Campaign: Much longer and stuff. FIve new levels and they're like 5 times as long as Halo1's ones. Although thats bad for the [Subnote 1 (Spoiler)]
And much more I can't think of.

Bad:
Capaign: Ended suckly. Just ended in the middle of something important. Damn sad.gif
XBox Live: THey have no optimatch. YOu can't get a list of servers and choose one, it chooses one for you no matter what.

Uhh?:
One question. Ok, the Master CHief can flip a 66 ton Scorpian Tank, right? Well, why can't he duel wield rifles? Just a question. Like I know it'd be hard to reload and the recoil would suck, but hes uberly strong, I think he could use two. Just imagine two sniper-rifles *drools*
Oh Well.

1) Although the longer levels will make you wanna cry when you get to the library. Just take the library from the other one, make it three times as long spanning over two levels. *Shivers.

I didnt really like Halo 2, But i have to admit the Needlers are cool guns. Plus the semi-automatic that the Humans start out with are awesome.

Ummm, I think your talking about the battle rifle. Its like the assault rifle with a scope, less ammo, and it fire in three round bursts. I don't like it all that much, too small of an aimer sad.gif

"too small of an aimer"

I dunno, "Aimer" just sounds stupid and retarded, it's called an aiming redical.

Battle rifle sucks? I don't know yet, but it's certainly not what I hoped it would be.

I'm probably gonna love combining Plasma Rifle with Needlers...
Stun with Plasma Rifle, Explode with Needler.

SPARTAN-117, and it's Jon.

Also, on legendary you have to be a lot more tactical.
Grand Theft Auto: SA is better.
