I suppose you people complaining about the graphics also are -blam!-ing about the latest AlpheOne build?
It's a three year old game, how good you expect the graphics to be? Geesh...their way better than they were, be grateful you get to play Halo 2 with a KB & M.
I'm surprised Bungie hasn't gotten rid of this board by now, it's just a -blam!- fest by brats.
Lucky? Yea we are lucky to finally be able to play the game after 800+ days of waiting. But having the advantage of using the KB & M, is that a joke. When I played the game, at the start when your doing the co-ordination test (looking at the flashing lights) it asks you to press "A" to keep it that way or "B" to invert it. I had to use my left mouse button to select leave it that way. My left mouse button isn't "A", its a left mouse button. not to mention using the mouse to aim is pathetic, although I had no troubles aiming, I had to adjust the sensitivity like 4-5 times to make it feel right. Although you "CAN" use the KB & M to play this game, you can't half tell it was made for the xbox controller. Oh lets not forget that people using the xbox controller have an unfair advantage with auto-aim.
Now for the positives. I finally finished the game for the first time. I don't have an xbox and the only time I ever got to play it on the xbox was when I went to a mates place. It was a great game, not as good as I expected, but I suppose you can get that after playing more recent titles such as HL2 Epi 1 etc. The graphics are a lot better than the xbox, if i can remember what it looked like on the xbox clearly that is. I didn't like the use of colours in Halo 2, I mean the Master Chief looked visually good. But the platform on Cairo looked like it was coloured in by a 5 year old. But I like to put gameplay before graphics, and all I can say is that its a good game, now to wait how many years? before Halo 3 comes out.
