I do agree with some of the things he says but then again he does say some dumb ass things, he thinks the music is bad..... Also he likes the energy swored.... NUB

Wow, -blam!-, the music owns.

Interesting that you can get that review from one online gaming source and then this from another...

In the eye of the beholder but I think the negative reviewer has an axe of sorts to grind....

You know it truly is in the eyes of the reviewer, I mean I would say buying H2 Vista is a waste of money but I played it on Xbox for nearly 2 years straight. I am also playing the Halo 3 beta so I might give it a lower review because I have seen very pretty things on the 360

I think the guy makes a point when he talks about custom maps because although its been confirmed time and time again nobody has come out to talk about distribution and implication will work. First you have issues with playlists but this is not a major problem since dedicated servers are confirmed. You also have the problem of stats and it would be harder to maintain stats if a new map pops up everyday. Also you have overly security concerned Microsoft and their prized Vista which is not fully stable or secure yet and given the level of annoying and invasive security features in Vista I bet there not willing ot risk a major outbreak of something.

Halo 1 was the best game in the Halo series, and it will always be so. When you boil it all down, the fact remains. Now I enjoy both games, Halo PC and Halo 2 (although the latter is for fun than anything else....it really is too noobified to actually play all on skill.) As for Halo 3, I'm going to keep an open mind about this one but it looks like its going to be more like Halo 2 than the original. Either way, there are tons more games out there and I would especially love to get my hands on Crysis, provided I can overhaul this semi-decent but still a piece of -blam!- computer.

speaking of graphical situations, how many think halo 2v will be like the let down of Halo pc? i remember distinctly having to buy a new graphics card to actually play the game in "decent" looking textures...

If Halo 2 Xbox was the letdown of Halo 1; then Halo 2 Vista will obviously be the same compared to Halo PC.....

Simple analogy

wts, you just read a review on an anonymous website that "claimed" they had the PC Gamer review and two people already provided two different links with two different articles. The first sounds like someone from halo2sucks.com wrote it. The second is full of contradictions that have already been confirmed out. What the hell makes you think either are actually PC Gamer's actual review?

Major spoilers for some of you who never played it are in that review.

I'm going to have to agree with them, though, Halo 2 is extremely behind and nowhere near as innovative or as fun to play as Half-Life 2, or Far Cry. When I heard them mention "splash-damage monstrosities," I wasn't surprised. Halo 2 was made for the Xbox, mind you, and more, the game pad. Not built around the accuracy and precision of a mouse and keyboard, which is why it seems to be so easy for PC gamers who are used to playing harder games, such as Far Cry and F.E.A.R., also the game's visuals, gameplay, storyline, etc. pale in comparison with many PC games.

However, I can't believe they didn't bother reviewing the multiplayer, which, if I bet they played, would raise Halo 2 Vista's score considerably. The campaign was a disappointment; of course people are going to rate it mediocre at best if they only play that.

Bad music? Oh, boy, wait'll Marty O'Donnell hears about this...

The only redeeming quality on that reveiw was the trailer for TR:Anniversary. *drool*

  • 05.15.2007 6:41 AM PDT

I read the review, it's just sad. It sounds like a beligerent 5 year old wrote it, and he didn't even touch upon the multiplayer. I really expected better from a respected source like PC gamer.

I'm going to see for myself when this game comes out, it sounds to me like the whole article was slanted beccause the author just doesn't like Halo.

sounds like a rant of some little kid that was mad he didnt get something he wanted.....
