First thing I'll do is play a couple levels on single player on normal difficulty (I wonder how much harder Halo 2 will be over Halo 1), then I'm going on Xbox Live to duke it out in multiplayer.

Driven to distraction. ^_^

After waiting for this game for so long, I'm gonna want to know how the story pans out. I'll definately play through single player ASAP and move on to MP.

^^^ hunt3rs got a point. Like, if u get online like a day after gettin that game i bet people will be talking about how they beat the game and parts of the story u haven't reached yet. Plus If you play SP first its just like MP offline, just not on the maps and you follow a story,

im going to play SP on normal (like i did with halo) and when i beat it i will sit in a simi daze reflecting on the story as the credits role past, then i will play again on legandary. then i will go to multi and kick all of your ass's.

well... if u play mp first u will keep playing it then soon enough get incredibly good with new techniques learned and expeirence and then play it on legendary when ur really good so u dont have to go thru the game twice and prolly have triple the thrill over the story instead of breezing thru it liek u will on easy, with a friend[extra firepower]

or like they said above some body (this is bound to happen because ppl will be talking about the story the day after halo2 comes out) will reveal story parts to you before you even play it.

I'm probably going to handle the multiplayer better after learning how to use the system... pity I'll have to wait until they decide to rerelease it for Mac/PC. I'm not going to spend money to get myself a Xbox if I'm only playing Halo 2 on it, though the graphics look tempting. However, the consoles always don't feel right to me.

Yeah, after reading this I don't think I will touch multiplayer until I have finished the campaign. I really don't want some 13 year old ruining Halo2 for me. I'll probably jump on MP alone just to chekout some of the maps and where the weapons are and stuff. Get a good idea of how and what I can do once I jump into the real deal over Xbox Live. I'll probably go through the game on normal or Heroic with either a friend or my brother.

Are you serious? That could be a few years from now...if ever. There are some other games on the Xbox that could hold you over...and with an asking price of $150 dollars now for a BOX...it would be insane to pass up such a good deal.

i wount doubt that with the new AI normal will be as tuff as heroic, and so on.

  • 06.02.2004 4:55 PM PDT

It'll be tough but I don't really want to even look at the MP levels before finishing SP. If any of the MP level locations looks like a location in later stages of SP mode (e.g covenant homeworld maybe) then it would ruin the surprise for me.

You never know, maybe the MP levels based on story locations won't be unlocked until you have reached them in SP (like in Goldeneye) to avoid ruining the surprise. Then you would need to play SP to access them all anyway.

HEY! I'm thirteen and am very mature for my age. I know that it is not fun to have a game,movie,or book spoiled for me. I will not blurt out stuff like that and will blast the living hades out of the unfortunate person who spoils the game for me. BTW I will play about half SP then play on LIVE for a while then finish the rest of SP.

I bet you that the SP will have a tutorial to get to know your new armor, weapons, and options. It will be short, but the new controls will probably be easy to pick up. Whether the tutorial will be included on legendery is another story. But MP will not be the only option to get used to controls.
