I think it sucks, personally, i think that Bungie just wasted the past 3 years working on Halo 2. Sure it was fun for the first couple hours.. and then i got to the last cinematic where MC is all ready to go save Earth, and i got all in to it in anticipation just waiting for my Spartan dude to pop up on some Earthly surface with my HUD buzzing as i got whacked by oncoming fire. Then... what happens? Jason Jones and his dumb End Credits pop up with this all too cheesy end-of-the-game-hurrah-you-beat-it music. And i think Wtf? are you kidding me? i waited for 3 years and payed almost 100 cash just to have a piddly 5 hours of half-assed enjoyment and a couple of minutes of ecstacy when instead i could drop the same amont for a cheap whore and get better satisfaction? Somethings wrong here.. nono no theres no way that Bungie, the God of Xbox gaming console producers could let me down. Especially with all the hype, getting bombarded with advertisements and promontional propaganda every time i flip on the tv or open a magazine or newpaper. Surely this is some sort of a cruel joke, and i got a tampered copy, and everyone else is at home tantalizing and drooling over their most recent purchase. But no, everywhere i go, work, school, friends, family, everyone seems to be let down. With the same common problem: utter let-down. With the reassuring knowledge that theres no waking up from this horrible nightmare, and that it will be too long until we get a taste of the next Halo. Since theres no way that Bungie will decide not to go through with a Halo3, of course our destiend hero, Mr. Master Cheif himself, has to go kick some ace on Earth along with fellow Marines. Theres no way that Bungie, knowing that a Halo3 would only give them more money (D'uh --- Make decent game, pay lots of money for HUGE hype, everyone buys it first day; millions of pre-orders, then who the hell cares if they dont like it, they've already spent their money, and its already in our pockets so its their loss and not ours) would decide to cap the story off at where it is. Of course, MC needs to travel to the other Halos to shut down the weapon, and once thats over, what do we get? World Peace, a pat on the back, and a fat old paycheck to all those lovely people that go to work loving their jobs fulfilling the wish of deprived gaming nerds. With all that said, and trust me, it feels good to let off some steam, I am utterly and 100% shocked at the poor quality and excitement of the game. And im not just talking about Campaign, my high school is a 2 minute walk from my house, i have 7 of my closest freinds over every lunch and we LAN it up until we just cant be any later for class. The new multiplayer maps are just absolutely disgusting. Blood Gulch 2 or whatever you wanna call it is one of the bloody ugliest things i have ever seen. The Banshees are less fun than math class during summer school, and the new weapons are weak, untasteful, and really bland. Although, I do not mean to cut up everything about this game, kudos to the Covenant rocket launcher, the Boarding ability, and Boosting.. and thats it. SO please, do not reply to this long post telling me im a blundering idiot for saying Halo 2 is a bad game, because i have my own opinion, and im not saying yours is wrong, i just want to know if theres anybody else out there that is as let down as i am, cause believe me, i can find more fun things to do with glue, ink, chap stick, and scissors.
