I think i might have found something could equal or out do halo 2. Its Gta san adreas (i think thats how you spell it) but n e way the new gta game could and i say again out do halo 2. The reason for this theory is because of the fact that gta has been around for yonks (along time) and so this could mean that it might out do it in sales. It has got new weapons and graphics and you go inside buildings and everything. now i am a haard core halo 2 fan (no jokes on the hard core thing) and will support it all the way throug and it will most probably beat gta but it could well be the 2nd best game due to gta!!!!!!

No Gta is old and stupid you can only play it for a little before it gets boring. Also it does not have Xbox Live so that sucks and so does the crapy game.

First off, the GTA series are hardly "crapy" games. While in my opinion, they don't even compare to Halo:CE or Halo 2 (based on what I've seen), there's no reason to label them as crappy or even "crapy." Quite the contrary, some might even argue that without GTA, boarding would cease to exist in Halo 2.

Secondly, the two games share virtually no similarities. Apples and oranges. As far as it selling more copies, eh, maybe. It has a pretty huge fan base and target group, but I think Halo has (arguably) the most loyal, devoted and dedicated fan base of any game, ever.

What are you talking about sales for, the only thing that matters is we have halo 2 who cares if it sells a billion less than GTA its still gonna be in our hands, we'll be the ones playing it. GTA is a good series and the PS2 players who will get it first will probably say its better than H2 but we will know the truth.

i dont really like the gta but hey just what lemming said it depends on your taste, anyway the only game in my opinion that might contend with halo 2 is half-life 2 as i am looking forward to both of these games.

GTA can kiss my -blam!-. The graphics will probably sick like Vice City's did, and the new one will be the same thing in a different place.

HA! GTA graphics look like pixelated mario crap compared to halo. Bland textures rubbish AI, the missions were fun and it was good game but c'mon Halo 2 graphics havent been seen in this generation of consoles.

i dont think gta could possible outdo halo2 in any sorta way possible. i mean, sure its fun to steal cars. run people over. get chased by cops. but trust me..i have gta for xbox, and it got very boring..very fast.
sure, the game is fun for a while, but no doubt itll get played out by sooo many people who will later say "Darn..i wish i got halo 2.." What would you rather do? shoot the crap outa all these humans for no reason, or shoot the crap outa spartans and elites, in a 8vs8 CTF in zanzibar to try to CTF or get some nice frags? WITH 16 PEOPLE, NEED I REMIND YOU!

I have to disagree. GTA is an awful game; it feels half-finished, poorly constructed and untested. Never have I enjoyed playing it at all, as I always find myself either fighting with the lousy gameplay or the even lousier controls, and to top it off the game doesn't even look halfway decent while its floundering in second-rateness. Boarding isn't exactly an ingenious idea that no one had considered until GTA came along, either. It may have done it first, but its not all that hard to come up with.

Well, I've read an article about GTA San Andreas in one of the game magazines (it was my friend's mag that he had at school. He was already reading it so I'm not sure which one). It sounded better than the other GTA games, which were all just craptastical. Can't beat the graphics, gameplay, or anything else about Halo 2. It might initially beat Halo 2 in sales, but overall, I think Halo 2 will win. Once Halo 2 comes out and PS2 freaks start going over to XBox peoples' houses, they'll start getting XBox if they can afford it, just for Halo 2. So, I think that in the end Halo 2 will win. Halo 2 will be awesome enough to bring people over from the PS2 side.

The PS2 Players can have their GTA. I'll take Halo 2 anyday. I mean, c'mon, I bought Xbox just for Halo originally, and Halo 2 will just reassure my purchase.

I'm personally buying both Halo 2 and GTA San Andreas. I really like GTA and Halo (though I got bored of GTA because of its lack of replayability after a while). I own both PS2 and Xbox and like both systems. I'm not gonna say "oh GTA sucks and Halo rules" because that's fanboyish. I just like both games and plan to buy them both.

GTA is outdated. So they updated the graphics a bit? Well not much. As far as I can see the graphics are still pretty much PS2-ish (to copy a word from OXM) and the gameplay gets boring pretty quickly. Unless they can completely revamp the game so it is intirely new and fresh with new ideas then it will never go beyond Halo 2: Last Stand (fictional name)

And how did I know when I read the post name you would be talking aboot GTA, *sigh*
