I think halo and halo 2 are both amaizing games.

but when it comes to comparing these kick ass games to one another i have to say although halo 2 might be prettier, theres a point where it just gets overdone. it seems to me that in halo 2 all they did was take a completed idea and jam as much more -blam!- on it as they could, for example the armor. The orginal was perfect, it didnt need all that stupid stuff added on, does it really make it cooler to have more vents or thingys?

also, one thing that makes halo 1 better than other fps is in the weapons. in halo you have a small, yet good variety of weapons. Ive played many games where there are like 50 weapons you can have, and at the same time, and these weapons do the same thing only w/ different fireing graphics. whereas halo has a few weapons and each does something different and useful.
it just seems like halo 2 is starting to stray away from that idea.

Heyyo,

I know some of the weapons are ones that never made Halo1. But from what I hear, the animations make ya wanna scream for justice...

as you can see, some are too wrapped up in the hype to notice some of the flaws..

I'm not here to diss Halo in anyway dude, I'm here because most people (Including me earlyer) have lost track in actually reviewing the game. Halo 2 is the 2nd best game of all time, right after Halo 1. Its a good game don't get me wrong but I(and others) Believe Halo 1 is way better. So please save my time and don't accuse me of talking trash on Halo.

Here's what I think should've happened... Halo was (and in my opinion still is) the best FPS around. Halo 2, as it is, just makes me angry. If Bungie had stripped the original back to basics and then re-wrote the game, using the same graphics even, but with a different story, I don't think there would be anywhere near as much moaning about it. After all, as the saying goes, "if it aint broke, don't try and fix it!". Have a think about that for a while...

The original Halo has something that Halo 2 just simply doesn't have. I don't know what it is, but I'm sure that MANY people will agree with me. Halo had a really good replay value... Halo 2 does not. I mean, it must have to still be going strong after all this time! I wonder if the same thing can be said of Halo 2 in four years...

Some people are like sheep... Others say it's good so it must be. Err, hello? Time to wake up peeps! Look at it for what it is... a cheap shot to cash in on the succes of the original Halo... and a surefire way of selling quite a few more XBoxes, just before Christmas.

With all that said and done, I'm genuinely sorry if my opinions offend you, but at the end of the day, they are my opinions and I will stand by them! I went out and bought a crystal XBox specifically for the then upcoming release of Halo 2, thinking that the game would be worth me spending the money, but all I got for my cash was dissapointment. I don't even own H2 anymore because I was so disgusted with what I saw that I returned it! I have been playing the original since January 2001 (you heard right...) and you would think that after waiting so long for a sequel, you would be looked after as a loyal fan... Hmmm.

Anyway, on that note does anyone want to buy an XBox cheap...lol

Heyyo,

Yet again muff, see? $box fans are soo wrapped up in their little console world that they don't even care aboot gameplay, they just care aboot hype, and graphics. I could make a 3d game right now, add some particle effects and specular lighting to it, write on the cover "Greatest thing since Halo 2" and "xbox exclusive" onnit, and $box fans would praise me as a god... lol..... doesn't matter how the gameplay is, forget that, all that $box fans need is hype anywho. :p

Some games I admit on consoles are good. Project Gotham racing's pretty nice, so is Goldeneye, best FPS onna console. Someother games actually upset me, like SW Battlefront for massive autoaim, it does it all for you for christ sakes... I could name others but I'm done for now before the $box fan pose try to take over our forums with their preaching of retardednes.

Yeah, I love Halo 1, xbox or PC, or Mac, it's a great game no matter where it goes. Why? gameplay, the gameplay's very solid, works good. Only a few downsides, but those could easily be fixed by patches... which bungie seems to not do.

Now one may ask: why do most people say Halo1's better than 2? simple, M$ only bought out Bungie near the end of the creation of Halo1, on Halo2? they were pretty screwed to begin with: one of the worst tech support companies in the world doing tech support for Bungie, and more care for serucity issues that main issues.

BTW, Halo2 for xbox owners, Halo2 comes complete with a trojan horse so M$ can monitor your xbox to see if you have any mods, disabling any online play for halo2 from your modded console. Hype that.....
