Hi. Just gotta say I am disappointed with halo2 multiplay mode, and campaign. The campaign mode didn`t, and maybe couldn`t live up to the campaign mode in Halo. I was prepared to be disappointed because Halo2 just couldn`t be as cool/new/exciting/genious/original as Halo. Of course...
I gotta say the multplayer mode in Halo2 ain`t more fun than the halo multiplayer mode.
I mean, some of the best features in halo multiplayer is removed or replaced with other stuff in halo2.
Halo multplayer was genious, so damn good that Im sure I wont play anything like it in years. I got all my friends to buy xbox and halo when I first tried it. None of them had xbox, and now 10+ of my friends bought it just because of halo multiplayer mode. We he have played a lot, the amount of hours we have spend with Halo is insane. I love halo so much and so do my friends. Then I tried Halo2, the french version on my friend`s ( it`s true) modded xbox. Well, we played it through the first day. We have played a lot on xbconnect.com and finally now on xbox LIVE.
Just gotta say this; halo vs halo2. No doubt that halo is better.
I miss this :
# chill out, 4 vs 4, moving king of the hill. Im red and four blue guys are in the ring in the room with stealth camoflague and the sniper (we call it the snuggling room), I go through the teleport to the snuggling room (fully aware of the other team waiting for me) throws a grenade in the right wall and wipes them all out with 20 rifle shots.Killtacular, easy as hell and so much fun when you know how.
# CTF, Blood gulch, 5 vs 5, rifles and 200% health. Me and four guys on my team walking over to the middle where the overshield is and sees the whole other team approaching behind the dump up to no good, so we chase them, we rush them down, we actually slaughter them while they are running back home. No warthogs,ghost or tanks, just red vs blue, and the red team just runs them down like an big army. So controlled and stylish.
#Beeing unlucky ending up on the noobs team I witnessed my teammate beeing "frozen" by 3 plasma rifles and then beaten down by a melee attack from all three enemys exactly at the same time.
#A big fight with lotsa people involved in the bazooka room in chillout. Lotsa injured blue teammembers going to get the medikit in the shotgun room, and I know because they always do when they are afraid,so kill 3 blue guys with 3 pistol shots from the other room with the bridge and plasma rifle. Nice aiming with the undoubtly most deadly weapon.
#Moving king of the hill, hang em high. The ring is in the small room where the shotguns and medikit are, 4 blue -blam!-s having panic and try to keep the red team from entering. I just go around and enters the small room from the other side. They all faced opposite direction from me so I got killtacular by meleeing them all. Won`t happen again.
#Throwing a grenade from the blue tower over to red tower in hang em high making it hit the tombstone on the red tower and wounds and shocks the enemy that comes around the corner so badly you just have to finish him off with a headshot to end his suffering.
I think you made a mistake when you decided to make halo2 faster and with more weapons.
The only thing you had to do was make a lot of new multiplayer maps and make halo work with xbox live. You made a lot of new features but you didn`t have to. The changes were too many and too big, this isn`t halo, this is crazy-fast-whoops-did-i-get-a-triple-kill-now-i-thought-i-was -dead kill kill kill game.
Things i liked in halo2:
# battlerifle
# most of the multiplayer maps
# a lot of multiplayer options and interesting stats
# blowing up and boarding vehicles
