One tiny correction folks from my review earlier, you can actually review the stats from a multiplayer game, in fact it is comprehensive. You have to scroll left/right; you can see your kills, deaths, suicides, medals, flags stolen, flags scored, average life span, best killing spree, flags saved, you name it :).
Other than that though, I am fairly disappointed with halo 2 multiplayer. It is very hard to find a quality gametype. So far, in 16 to 17 games I have joined, I have only found one, and that lasted only a few minutes lol. Pretty much you either melee, or use the sword to get your kills as everything is in close quarters. Can not even see an enemy till he is right beside you lol. I must say this gives me a new appreciation for halo 1 multiplayer, requires a ton more skill, and less of pushing buttons quickly to get your kills.
I finished the campaign on normal, now I am going on heroic. The campaign I must say is very solid, nice and challenging. It has definitely exceeded my expectations.
On the other hand, due to the multiplayer (again still a low player count, not surprising, that may change however tomorrow when the game is released in Euorpe), I would recommend folks not to hurry to buy this game. Wait till the price drops, the campaign may be worth it, but it can wait :). Additionally, for folks who want to upgrade their cpus to play halo 2, I would recommend against it as well. At least not any major upgrading, if you plan to play other games in the foreseeable future, then by all means. But if it is just for Halo 2, I really do not think it is worth it to be honest.
