Wow, when i bought this game i was expecting the best game ive ever playd. But this is actually the biggest dissapointment (in terms of gaming) ive ever had. After finding out the key features, that were used to sell the game (Multi terrain warthogs, and the option to run) arn't on the game i thought i'd try xbox live. Matchmamking is the most shambolic process known on Live, and is a complete disgrace. It is slow to find players and the games last for a few minutes then is back to the drawingboard again. What ever happend to the basic optimatch featues that all other xbox games use? This means i cannot even play a game with people on my freinds list . Thank you bungie. Furthermore, the communication method is ridiculous so when someone is near me i can talk freely but then they run where the game takes them, i have to hold the white button? great, try doign that while your driving a warthog.If i dont want to talk there is a button on the xbox headset which utes my voice for me, i dont need to ways, Xbox live is abotu bringing people together and your silyl ways prevent this. After delaying the release of the most eagerly anticpated game for about a year, you make it very very poor, my copy is going straight back to the shop. I would recomend this ganme to no-one and i've certainly lost my faith in microsoft/ Bungie 's ability to make decent games.

Your seemingly intelligent post is overshadowed by the lack of intelligence to not read the FAQ and not post this in a Halo 2 forum, where it doesn't matter anyway because everything you say here has already been said more than ten times a day since Halo 2 comes out. And as for as your complaining about the XBL format: not being used to it, does not constitute it as being bad, maybe if you learned how to use it, you would find it's actually superior to the other simpleton XBL menus.

Ach! Was ist los?

Thank you for your competent and well-written opinion.

Now go to hell.

He also may wish to know that Halo 2 was never delayed, and the white button makes it more realistic and adds depth to gameplay.

It was announced that there wouldn't be different warthogs or the ability to run before it was released. It is your own fault for expecting more out of game then what it could of been. No game can live up to all your expectations.

I'm not so disappointed about the features mentioned above, its the lack of a proper end. I don't want to wait for a Halo 3 or another book. I was told that Halo 2 was the end of the war and instead we're stuck with another cliff hanger in a 'tune in next time for the exciting conclusion. Or maybe not.' style. I've been had by Bungie and I'm not happy guys. I'm not sorry for saying this but the game was a let down because of the plot. Everything else was in place, but they really did mess up and fail to bring closure.

To be honest, when I think about it, it doesn't seem to different from the end of Halo, MC says "No, it's just the beginning" but the ending of Halo 2 (I'm glad) it leaves room for more, I would be more disappointed if the whole series ended there, the story must go on.

Look, you cannot put the blame on Bungie. It is not their fault, it is not microsofts fault, and its not your xbox's fault...... You just have to face facts, you are OBVIOUSLY one of the worst gamers in the world.......AND THATS THAT! (cry me a river)


Oh buy the way, you might wanna just take that xbox back to the shop too!

Are you -blam!- kidding me? Halo 2 is one of the greatest games I've ever played, and basically the only reason the phrase "one of" is used, is... in fact, I don't know. It is the greatest game. Your points are so pathetic, I never heard an ability to sprint feature, and "Try doing this when your in a warthog". You're in the warthog. you can talk freely, they're right there. Plus, I find it easy to do so, and asking your gunner or rider to talk to other teammates doesn't take too long either. There is only a small amount of things I found disapointing, and they weren't all that so. I really wanted to play that awesome level in the trailer that was played in front of people at E3. The cliffhanger ending drove me nuts, but I've come to live with it. My last wish was to play more on earth. How pathetic you are, that one game that you felt wasn't fit for your obviously non-existant standards, could make you "lose faith in microsoft/bungie to make good games."

P.S.- The matchmaking got a lot quicker on November 10-11, for whatever reason.
P.P.S.- Get a girlfriend, there's more to life than games, despite how incredibly awesome they are.

1. Multi-terrain warthogs? The warthogs are fine, in fact, the physics are improved. What terrain were you looking to drive over that the current warthog can't? Up walls? Over water? Cuz that's about the only limitations I can see.

2. Option to run? Have you noticed how fast you move? MasterChief is running his ass off nonstop. And you can always hop in a vehicle.

3. Optimatch. If you don't want to go 'back' to the drawing board, invite some friends, or invite the people you just played with to a party. "Problem" solved. And yes, you can play games with people on your friends list, either nonrated or rated.

4. You don't have to hold down the white button to talk to people out of range, just tap it once and start talking. They'll hear you for as long as you talk, even though the button isn't held down.

I want to ask the author of this post a question:

Howcome the only people I ever see that make topics about how Halo 2 sucks, both here and on GameFaqs, can never spell? I mean, is it that hard to realize that because you spell like a dolt, that we'll take you for a dolt? That, and why do you people always harp on the little things? It's like you're trying to not like this game.

You mentioned all the great things that were gonna make the game they left out? Then you list two, and don't list any of the other features that they actually did keep. How is Halo 2 any worse than Halo 1? You obviously must have liked Halo 1 or you wouldn't have gone out and bought Halo 2, right? Halo 2 is everything Halo 1 was only it has more to it. And oh no, god forbid Bungie put in some variables in the game like proximity talking, it might add an extra element of challenge to the game! We can't have that. I don't think I should even address the parts of your argument that are just flat out lies like the friends list (no, I will address it... PRESS THE 'Y' BUTTON, it doesn't say '"Y" Friends' on the bottom of the screen cause it looks cool).

There's always a group of people like you that (can't spell for one) and always get so hyped up about a game that they either want to go against the grain and purposly say they don't like the game, or they're such huge suckers to hype (hype being that you decide how cool a game is before it's out; which is stupidity in my book), both of these are really your own fault anyway. No one here gives two -blam!-s about your biased opinion pal, we only care about calling you an idiot afterwards because you make a poor arguement, you sound like you're trying to be an idiot and you spell like an idiot.

Good God you whining little -blam!-, nobody cares if you liked Halo 2 or not, don't try to ruin it for the rest of us just because you didn't like it. you need to get a life kid, and maybe a new hobby besides -blam!-ing about a great game that you don't like for some reason. don't write in these forums of you hate halo 2 go do something else.

dude. you're to picky! its a game and games can only do so much but the amount that halo2 does is anormous! i thought that halo2 was a great game and lived up to all it was expected to. exept to those who had expectations that were to high to achieve. the ending was a small(notice SMALL!)problem but it was great for its purpose....to make you buy halo3! it would have sucked if it ended the series. halo is far from over. especially with all of the twists in halo2. i do however have some critisism.
1.) I didnt like the arbiter missions that much. i know that ALOT of people have always wanted to play as an elite but its just not doing anything for me. id rather stay with MC. If you want elite combat in a game why not make a seperate game for it. halo is a huge deal and it has the potental to grow as big or bigger than starwars.
2.) I would have liked the vehicles to have gotten sort of add-ons like variations and stuff. like differnt still warthogs besides just the two.
3.) And finally, it would have been great if they added a human fast moving vehicle. the covenant have the ghost so why cant the humans have an atv or a motorcycle or a dune buggy? something like that u know?

Well those are just my opinions but all and all it was a great game and i am pround to say that the collectors edition will be in my game library forever! keep up the good work bungie!
