I've been reading this forum today from work and I just cant believe all the complaints.
Halo 2 is a great game in my opinion. I'm still not finished with it (granted I have a full time job, am in a band with regular rehersals, and have a girlfriend so my time on the game is somewhat limited because of other obligations... I've still managed to put in a good 10 hours or so)... Anyway, knowing that I can finish Halo 1 levels like Assault on the control room in just over 30 minutes I decided not to be a wuss and just do it on legendary right from the start, and by the way, legendary is tough this time around!
Seems to me most of the complaints revolve around the changes in the guns. However, I think it sounds like a bunch of cry baby drivel. Bungie has made the game more realistic, I say good for them. For instance, the pistol is a backup weapon now, just like it should be and the covie pistol is a weak little gun, as it should be, with a pulse that doesnt track... Tell me this, how the he!! is plasma energy supposed to track a target? It's just plain more realistic that it doesnt lock on and track its targets. I mean think about it... in the last game the best combo against just about anything but the flood was a human pistol and a plasma pistol, the 2 smallest guns in the game... that shouldnt be right. Logically people should have been walking around with an assult rifle and a plasma rifle.
Same thing goes for the no health thing... in real life when you get shot... you are screwed. Now when master cheif has no shields he is vulnerable, just like he would actually be. However, its not like its not fair... the elites have the same kind of deal if their shields are down they are screwed. So again, more realistic.
People are even whining about the texture bugs every once in a while... ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION?!?! Have you seen how frikkin sweet this game looks? You cant accept a quarter of a second rendering bug every 5 hours. Grow up!
Anyway, sorry... these complaints are just straight up irritating me. I feel like I am reading a board full of little kids... well, maybe I am. Diddn't mommy ever tell you to be realistic? To he!! with the complainers and whiners... BUNGIE YOU GUYS ARE THE GREATEST and this is the greatest FPS of all time.
The only complaints I have (just so you guys dont think I think the game is perfect): Why does master chief die if you shoot him in the hand? Why did you have to make the covie carbine so much like the battle rifle (i.e. reloading)... all this attention to realistic details... thats not very realistic. Also, I'm with the masses in that the weapon sounds are pretty weak compared to Halo 1. I hear there is a cliffhanger ending that basically takes you by surprise... you guys suck for that, but just hurry up with Halo 3 okay. And dont be whining about vacation, you guys don't need vacation, suck it up :)
