Charlie Brown in the pumkin patch... wtf? H2: better weapons, better vehicle capabilities, better graphics, better enemies, and more attack options. What more do you want? Bungie designed H2 to be a cinematic experience. That means the action has to follow a strict story line. There may be less tactical freedom in the game, but you need to sacrifice your wayward wanderings for a succinct sequel. Look how much thicker the plot has become. You're trying to protect earth from the Covenant as Master Cheif, you try to activate halo as the Arbitor, And meanwhile both characters are playing into the hands of the Flood. What do you think that big, green plant was?
If you wanna gripe about it, instead of realizing that H2 is a plot sequel, then you wouldn't want to buy H3 anyway because it's going to be more like 2 than 1. Go ebay your copy! Maybe somebody more observant will take it off your hands for you.
