Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

It's simplistic in the way the gameplay is handled. It's basically the same with Halo 1; You have the same gameplay style all the way through the game.
Ya, I did read your garbage. I agree Halo 2 is crap in comparison, I always have, however, I disagree with people bashing this game to the level of punishment it's receiving. Dude, you said you wanted to give the game lower than a six. Weather or not Halo 2 is good or bad in your opinion it is not worth that. Most reviewers did over rate it on the xbox, when it did deserve a 8.2 or something (for a console game). And yes, it was a lacking a lot of things when it was converted over to the PC, however, it's the same freggin game. It did loose a a bunch of point for missing a few features, however, the only reason you can and should take away points from a game like Halo 2, is if major features are taken away. And to tell you the truth, there were many things added.
Graphics were improved, don't believe me, go take the original textures and models from Halo 2 on the xbox, put them on your 1280 x 1024 screen, while sitting a foot away, and you'll see what I mean. Second of all, a map editor, though limited, it is currently being hacked, and from what I've fiddled with, it's much simpler to use than the old HEK (which I couldn't use at all). Third of all, paying to get special features online sucks, paying to play online period on the xbox sucks more. Also, everything you said about controlls is bull, so I'm just going to toss that statement right out.
Halo 2 didn't live up to Halo, boo -blam!- hoo. Most games period can't even get close to Halo 1's prowess. Does that mean they're bad, no. Same with Halo 2. Well, Halo 1 and 2 were both pretty awesome, to say so at my own opinion. I highly enjoy the Halo PC online experience. But Halo 2 was a major change when adding new weapons, Dual Wield, graphics (Not as great as the Source engine, but who gives a damn? Bungie did a darn well job on them anyways.) and the simple fact of the custom look for your Multiplayer Profile. I think Halo 2 was an exception to the rule of sequels being dumb and boring, something which I really believe in.
