Yeah, I just bought halo 2 a couple of days ago and it isnt that fun, but I guess since it's old and gameplay is old i'll it the benefit of the doubt, till halo 3.

... hmm

I played Halo 2 on my friends 360 a few weeks ago, we went through like half the campagin, the bits where you are the cheif dude are awsome, when your going round the city. Did drag a bit when you where the gimp alien things though fighting the wierd bug/virus/insect things.

However in all honesty, fuck the graphics in Halo 3, if they say they are ground breaking one more time I'll fucking nut them. However as for the coop campaign, I'm actually looking forward to my mate getting it and going through it together.

I just hope they open the levels out a bit more and have lots of branching paths go explore. I'm through with Bungie's PR campagain and multiple documentories, they just need to stick with the basics and they will have a proper decent fun title.

I'm sure Halo 3 will be a great game, but its one I can wait on. Its not something I'm gonna need to rush out and get on the first day.

Bioshock and Assassin's Creed on the other hand....

Halo 1 = GODLY. It is just like a regular FPS I guess but everything that could be wrong in an FPS was perfected, everything was there, GREAT storyline, excellent graphics, overhyped for how unoriginal it is, but still hella fun.

Halo 2 = FUCKING SWEET. Why do people say that it sucks I have no idea. Jealous maybe? The fact is, while the single player campaign may have been a little short, it EXCELLED in online. If XBOX Live could talk it would say "thank you, halo 2." Halo 2 is fucking fun. No other way to say it.

Halo 3 = *orgasms*

halo 2 was absolute dog shit. just accept it, and move on, okay?
halo 3 will be great fun, like halo 1, but nothing groundbreaking as random says.
the four player co-op looks to be immensely fun if they pull it off.

i agree with 1 and maybe 3 but 2 no, the single player was boring and the story was acceptable but not up to par with games like ico, metal gear, halo 1,final fantasy ect...ect and the online really isn't that good, all the weapons where realy basic and sounded like a midget taking a shit
i think that because halo 1 was so good that people just really really wanted another good halo game

Halo is a generic alien FPS that exploded in popularity because it was a launch title for the xbox, plain and simple. If Halo was released 3-4 months after the Xbox had been established, it would have been forgotten like many other games for the xbox.

Only diehard halo fans will be stupid enough to buy something that can be included in a patch. Other than the advancement in the story, what else are they bringing to the next-gen, online co-op?:sleeping2

QFT. It's lifespan was way too short to be the classic game that people make it out to be.

See: Half-Life and the Total war series for long lasting series.

This guy has it nailed right, if I remember correctly Bungie was acquired by Microsoft and was forced to move the game away from a initial PC release to the an Xbox launch title. And Xbox's first FPS.

That...uh...you're wrong. Accept it and move on, okay?

I really can't find anything wrong with the game. The only department that didn't improve on Halo's already amazing features was the semi weak story line. And I dunno about you, but I never buy into story lines involving robots and aliens and shit. I think it's a joke trying to make that a considerable factor. Who really cares? You get to blow shit up, it's fun, we don't really need a complex story line. But having one wouldn't neccesarily be a bad thing at all.

i agree with 1 and maybe 3 but 2 no, the single player was boring and the story was acceptable but not up to par with games like ico, metal gear, halo 1,final fantasy ect...ect and the online really isn't that good, all the weapons where realy basic and sounded like a midget taking a shit

:preachon:

I thought that the single player was really fun. A little short? Perhaps, but thats ok because it's compact intensity made up for it. And as for the storyline, well, I already talked about that, IMHO only nerds really care enough to make it a factor. Online was awesome for the time, maybe standard by today, but what's important is that it established XBOX Live as a serious thing. Now, what do we see? Every game for the 360 is Xbox live compatible, after microsoft determined that they can get it to work well enough. Would the 360 be doing as well as it is with no online? Definitely not. All those games are wearing Halo 2's shoes. So what do we see? Not only hella fun, but innovative too.

Look at all the game review sites out there. They ALL say Halo 2 for the XBOX was a great game. Anyone who thinks otherwise is...
A) Biased
B) A huge fanboy who set ultra ultra high expectations
C) Jealous people hopping on the bandwagon of B
D) Regular people hopping on the bandwagon of C, and go into the game with low expectations and deny to themselves that they're having fun
E) A Nintendo fan
F) All of the above

Xbox live had a very well established community way before Halo 2 came out. All Halo 2 did for xbox live was tarnish it with even more immature 10-15 year olds.

hell, the original halo was better than that shit. the only reason it got rave reviews form the outset was that people were craving new halo envrionments....hell, brutes, wtf was that shit :lmao:
online was fun, for about 3 minutes. same class as CS imo
make a poll about it? a lot of people didn't really like halo 2, it'd be interesting to see what the ratio is

Oh, you also forgot that none of letters A through F apply if the person reciting said letters is:

A) A fanboy.

So, you're argument fails.

If it wasn't for online play, Halo 2 wouldn't have a leg to stand on. Doom, Wolfenstein, Half-Life; all those series tower over Halo like a basketball player standing next to a midget. All have better online play as well.

Halo 2 wasn't innovative, original or all that exciting, really. Bungie better incorporate some new stuff into Halo 3 because right now, we've seen it all before.

I'm not a fanboy/biased in anyway. If you don't like Halo 2 IMHO that means that you're a fanboy...ranting on a game that any schmuck can see is really great. For example, I dislike the Wii. But Wii Sports is hella fun! A bunch of Wii games are fun! There are some that are not. But I judge each game by it's content, not what it's affiliated with. It's content was fine. I know that you are against what it's affiliated with in some manner. That makes you...what? A fanboy.

Maybe, but going against what a bunch of professional reviewers (who make video games there life and also have degrees in journalism probably) all consensually agree on without collaboration or held biases (if anything, they like Nintendo more) at all is just stupid. Face it.

You're argument holds no weight. Do you know what the definition of a fanboy is? Where's the proof that I am one? And a fanboy of what, if I may ask?

I'm not a big fan of the XBox or the 360, but I do give credit where credit is due. And though there are many games that are good for Microsoft's systems, I do not find Halo 2 to be one of them. At all. And I explained my reasons as to why.

You just can't seem to accept that (or to provide reasons of your own that are valid enough).

everyone knows halo 2 sucked, but anyone who says halo 1 sucked probably wasn't alive when it was released. when it shipped with Xbox it was state of the art, it was one of the first FPSs someone could pick up and play, chances are any FPS after halo has some aspects of halo in it.
also halo 2 would have been much better if bungie didn't have 500,000 fanboys breathing down their neck to release it.

The original Halo was just an OK fps, in my opinion. Sure it had cool shit in it, but really it was just average at best.

I just think it's funny how everyone claimed that when Halo 2 was released, every god damn fanboy claimed it was the second coming. What they failed to realize is that it was just Halo with dual-wielding, a few new weapons, and online play added. You can't dispute that. Nothing ground breaking.

I haven't played the Halo 3 demo, but I expect the same thing. Until Bungie decides to add some gameplay feature that distinguishes Halo from all the other shooters out there, I'll pass.

Ok, besides possibly the gravity gun, the novelty of which wore off after an hour or so, name me one thing "ground breaking" about Half-life 2. What did GTA San Andreas do that was really so "groundbreaking" to set it apart from its predecessors.

And no, most of us did realize that. If you'll forgive me, what you fail to realize is that most of us "fanboys" (I hate that word) just plain didn't care. I've got my copy of Halo 3 ordered because I still want more of what I got from Halo. Any new features they add are just icing on the cake.

I loved Halo 1. It was original, and all around fun. I had no gripes with it, played through it several times.

Halo 2 however, was shit. Why? Because it should of been an expansion pack. So little content added to it and then a $60 sticker slapped onto it. No innovative content too. Dual wield and extra weapons and the ability to kick people off a ride. All shit thats been around for 10 years. You could tell they had one meeting about content, spouted off a few extremely obvious ideas, and pushed out another cash cow. HOORAY MILLIONS!

It didn't really matter at all what was added into it... it had the Halo name. You could take Halo 3, add an option to polish your fucking shoes, and add 2 new levels and BAM, millions would drool.

Yeah, as opposed to every other damn FPS out there. OMG, slightly different weapons and enemies... You can't reinvent the wheel every time. You do understand that is the definition of a sequal right? Similar game with improvements. That's what people want, if I wanted H2 and 3 to be so radically different I would have wanted gears instead. (which was also good)

BTW, the online play of Halo2 WAS ground breaking. The computer server model for MP sucks ass, too prone to lag, cheating, and spending 20 minutes finding a good combo.

I did not enjoy Halo and therefore I'm sure I would not enjoy Halo 2 from what I've heard. The campaign took a fairly fun level design and then STRETCHED IT THE FUCK OUT. The levels go on forever with cloned rooms that keep going. Think about it; nearly every level, if not every single one, is like that. I tried the multiplayer on PC and hated it. When I could connect to a server, it just became a game of "grab the Banshee." If there were no vehicles, then it was just a generic shooter that wasn't fun at all. The most fun I had was starting a private server, flipping over a Warthog, and jumping a Ghost off of it. Great fun for a while but it's just proof that you have to make your own fun with it. I couldn't imagine how dreadful it is with 13-year-old fanboys yelling slurs into the mic while being lag-killed by a cheater.

Halo is vastly overrated. This is a decent game at best. It has a clean interface, good controls (for a console shooter; I also played it on my friend's Xbox), and good graphics for the time. Driving the Warthog was fun but couldn't save the game.

I played and beat Halo. Honestly, single player mode was a bit of a chore to play. It was boring most of the time. Online mode can be fun at times, but the Halo games never have been my thing. I love FPS, but I don't see why Halo is so over hyped?

Excited? No. Looking forward to it? Yes.

I don't like the single player, and deathmatches online are full of shit talking 12-year-olds who only play halo all day. But it's always entertaining to play co-op with friends. Nothing like you and your friend deciding you're only going to do rifle butts on Legendary and see how far u get. Or carjacking as many ghosts as possible and setting up a parking lot. So I think co-op with 3 friends will be some good ass fun.

You aren't the only one. I'm not excited either nor going moist. I played Halo 2 and it wasn't all that great, GeOW was more fun in my opinion.

But since all boards are dominated by people who go "OMG HALO 3 VID UP THEY ARE EXPLAINING THE CROSSHAIR SYSTEM!!!" and other really irrelevant things about the game, you are likely to be bashed. A lot.

Halo 3 is the sort of game I'd want to play when i go round a friends house.

Coop when done properly is fucking awsome, and Bungie have a good track record with Coop gameplay.

Halo 1 = GODLY. It is just like a regular FPS I guess but everything that could be wrong in an FPS was perfected, everything was there, GREAT storyline, excellent graphics, overhyped for how unoriginal it is, but still hella fun.

Halo 2 = FUCKING SWEET. Why do people say that it sucks I have no idea. Jealous maybe? The fact is, while the single player campaign may have been a little short, it EXCELLED in online. If XBOX Live could talk it would say "thank you, halo 2." Halo 2 is fucking fun. No other way to say it.

Halo 3 = *orgasms*


halo 2 is a sprayfest for terrible players that cant play a game that actually requires aim. gtfo fanboy

Halo requires much aim, and we didn't even get a mouse.

In other news, I do not like coke. I have decided to spend 1/4 of my waking hours trying to convince people how over rated it is.

If people have fun playing it, who gives a shit if it's a "sprayfest". Video games are supposed to be fun, that's their purpose. So just shut the fuck up.

I agree, not very excited about Halo 3. I have had some GREAT times playing online with some buds of mine but overall I think the Halo series is completely overrated and I have no idea why it's still so overrated.

Halo 2 doesn't have the best graphics, balance, weapon selection, etc.. but that didn't stop it from being the the most played game on Xbox live years after it came out. You like it or you don't so stfu

HaHa! The last thing I posted about Halo 2 was a 700 word rant about how much it sucks. :wave:
I can see how you'd think of me as fan boy after I said "You like it or you don't so stfu", it's just that I've given up on bashing other peoples tastes. It not the best game [from a technical standpoint], but people love it, and in that way it is the best. I was an avid opponent of Halo 2, and that was after playing more online games of it than almost any other person on the planet. But I don't really care anymore. It's not a bad game, and I can't even remember half the complaints I had about it. Sure some people are delusional and think it is the best game in every way, but a lot of the fans just plain like it. Whatever floats your boat.

Sorry, I don't feel like going back to read a 700 word rant. It's best to not bother bashing people, because there is always a yes or no to things and there will always be conflict. So there's really no point either way.
