now this is just my first glance at the game, i have yet to finish the first level, but i find that i am annoyed by how unamazing the game is. I hate the duel wielding, i find it relly does nothing i kicked ass in the first halo without 2 weapons. the new health system sucks, you have nothing but your shield to protect you, absolutely nothing like Halo. I also find that the perspective seems to be smaller giving you a smaller field of view. And whats with the flying bug things bungie? i thought this what Halo 2?!?! not Area-51. i dunno maybe i am just tired and crazy, but already i am feeling like halo 2 was just a waste of waiting time because it is so different from halo that it should be called something else.... only thing that remains the same is the chief. another thing i noticed.... while i am walking around... i seem to be able to see the environment load around me because possibly the xbox cant handle it, overall i have to say that i am very unimpressed with this game so far... let me know what you think gamers

Remember this, Halo 2 is not Halo 1. There are going to be differences and whether you may hate or like them, they are going to be there and there is nothing we can do about it.

i realize there will be differences and i expected as much, but it seems like a completely different game and i just am not finding it as much of a joy to play as Halo was.

I'm going to have to agree. Halo is the biggest let down I have experienced in a long time. What a complete failure. Halo was and still is the greatest game ever created. All that we needed was to have it Live capable and some new, DECENT, maps....

i guess the important thing is they tried.

maybe we'll finally get a halo 1.5 once all the halo 2 copies are traded back in in a couple of weeks.

well bungie, that was a hard swing and a complete miss...

i completely agree, they could have taken the original halo, given it Live and it'd be amaizing, but no, they had to stick tonnes of bull-blam!- in it and churn out a big let down of a sequel... i really cant believe they let this happen... it still hasn't quite hit me.

Well, I notice that most of you started your memberships Nov. 8, and therefore, are probably fan-boys of something else, and just like to -blam!- because your games suck next to Halo 2. Also, get the hell out of here if you are going to bad-mouth what most of us have waited 2 years for. I personally love it, Im only on now because I wanted to give Bungie the respect it desrves and thank the team. If you dont like it, leave Bungie.net and Halo alone, and go play whatever floats your boat. But I hope that boat sinks. Goodbye.

well if you look again then you might see that i became a member before you did so you can take your smart ass comments back, i am not saying that halo 2 is a terrible game i am saying that it is not what its all cracked up to be... there are many things things that annoy me within the game and i was just asking other people what they though, i love halo and have been waiting for the sequel since a week after halo was released, 3 years ago, so dont pretend that i am some ps2 fan boy (or something else)coming to -blam!-, i said what i said because i am disappointed that bungie took so long to make what is turning out to be a poor sequel... but maybe i will be wrong, like i said, i just started playing it, i really hope it does get better because i would really love to say that Halo 2 kicked serious ass.

i haven't tried the live yet, i suspect it is very laggy, because the single player lags which is pretty sad >.< i notice MC's armor is always "after-loading" in cinematics...pretty sloppy i think

i definitely agree, it just doesn't have the same quality of halo, i made another post somewhere on why i don't like halo 2, but now i can't find it. i will just go back to the first halo.
