People at GameFAQs.com are -blam!-ing and moaning that Halo 2 was all hype, and when they got their copies, they felt they wasted their money. The missing Health meter (the Shield takes more damage and refills at twice the speed as in Halo 1? Bullf***, on Easy mode, I got mobbed by 3 Brutes flying in the air firing at me, and my shield was down to critical level in 2 seconds, THANKFULLY cover was nearby and the Brutes were too stupid to ollow me), the highly powered-down Shotgun (for some reason in Halo 2 it takes 3 shot gun blasts to kill a Grunt. On EASY mode. The damn SMG recoil sucks majorly, and Master Chief seems to move at half the walking speed he walked in Halo 1. The Needler was turned into a noob weapon of choice besides, next the Plasma sword, with it's increased speed and slight boost in power, and it doesn't really help when your opponent can Dual-Wield two Needlers and shred you up in seconds with them. And how can Master Chief walk off a high ledge and NOT get damaged anymore? And how come he can survive a grenade blast now?
Halo 2 is very watered down and relatively decent weapons from Halo 1 are now butchered severely. Multi-player isn't fun anymore. I think a lot of people are going to stick with Halo 1 for a while until they can cope with a moderately decent sequel to a highly great FPS.
ok, I don't normally get mad, but this is unbelievible. If your a decent shot, you can kill three grunts with one shot from the shotgun. you didn't always die when you got naded in halo 1, SMG recoil is easy to work past, I can fully auto and hit all of my targets, if you are good enough, you shouldn't get hit and find cover when your sheild is down, so that excuses the health bar. The needler is supposed to be powerful, and was in halo 1 too. The energy sword is easy to beat, jut shoot. The drop thing is a mystery, and brutes don't fly, ELITES have the jetpacks in space.
