I finished the game and I don't think the game has lived up to all the hype. I honestly expected the game to cover a lot more of the story. In that I was dissapointed. The mullti player gameplay as well seems a bit more cartoony and unbalanced than Halo. I'm not saying I was horribly let down by the game I just don't think it met expectations. The graphic quality is quite breathtaking. Certainly plenting of level to give you the screaming sensation of being on the ring itself. I was very fond of playing the covanent side of the story as well. I just wish they had covered more of the story instead of dead ending it into a most likely Halo 3 that will take another few years. Personally I'd like to see a Halo 3 movie to complete the story rather than a game. I think the Halo Universe as a game will be played out at the end of Halo 2's reign. Besides, with a movie they can get all those great effects in there without worrying about a framerate. (Assuming it's made with CGI.)

I concure. Did not meet my expectations at all. MP is fun, but not easy and not workable on Live. XBC is still better for MP unranked games. I think that H2 should have ended the story. No Movie no Halo 3 just end it. Or if they wanted to do a Halo3, just let us know now when they want the release date to be or even just say Xbox 2 launch title or something. And dont worry this thread will be locked. ANyone with a differing opinion from "Mane Bungie is the crap and H2 totally rox!" is not welcome here.

a) This can, and probably will be classed as a spoiler. In addition, New Mombasa is the H2 forum. Use it.
