When you finally get the game, do you think you'll play the campaign first and mess around with that or sign in to you gamertag and start playing Halo2 with people from around the entire freakin world??? Decisions, decisions...

Maybe a round of Split Screen versus between me and my brother first, to get used to the controls, then Co-op mode all the way through.

I have a friend with xbox live, and i think we will play co-op online together first, until we stop shaking!

FAQ.
I'm certifiable.

Campaign... until It Is Done. For four reasons:

* I've been dying to see the story continue, and couldn't resist going forward ASAP.

* I'm going to drop off the forums from November 10 until I finish the game, so that I'll be spoiler-proof, and don't want to be away from the forums for too long. I enjoy them too much.

* I've always enjoyed the solo play more than the online multiplayer, though that may be because I haven't found the right gang to play with.

* I want to make all my stupid mistakes in private first, so that I can make less-stupid mistakes when I play with an audience. So I'll "train up" in solo play.

-- Steve sux0rs at multiplayer too, which may be a factor.

I am going to play through the campaign first, even if it takes me a whole day. While this may pose a small problem (I'm at a boarding school), I don't really care. I think I might just skip classes the next day to finish it. Also, no one else at my school has pre-ordered Halo 2. I figure if I play through the campaign by myself before jumping into multiplayer action I should have a fairly large advantage. However, the main reason for playing the campaign first is simply to learn Halo 2's storyline. Halo had one of the most brilliantly crafted storylines of any video game and I want to see what twists are thrown into Halo 2. It's bound to be Oscar worthy (if only it were a movie).

Campain, then on to XBL . =)

Or While I am taking a break from campain I could play a little Live.

You think that you can beat Halo 2 in 1 day!!!! Thats not happening unless you really do play for like 24 hours straight! You dont need to just rush though it! You have to inspect each place for new things and get used to all the new stuff and configurations! 1 day wont be enough!

I'm staying home from school and picking up my copy from EB as soon as possible. After that, starting up the first level of Campaign. Xbox Live is going to wait until later.

I will probably play through the campaign first, and then play H2 on Live afterwards.

But wait... Zanzibar looks so much fun!

After I've gone into convulsions via shaking too much while holding the game, I'm definitely firing up the Campaign and going on the hardest difficulty. After that, I'm going to LIVE, BABY! My friend introduced me to Halo, the game and the books, and we have a deep rivalry whenever we play Halo (he can beat me 9 times out of 10, but its always a good game, except when we play damnation). I swore to him that he will always beat me in Halo, but that I'll own his ass in Halo 2.

Seriously, the matches we're gonna have are going to be VERY intense!

Campaign, campaign, campaign. It's all about the story and being immersed in the game.

MP is cool, MP can rock, but for me it is lights out, 5.1 surround cranked, and away we go!


Hell yes, and speaking of surround sound, here's my baby :)

Getting it in about a week now

I agree with all of these, especially the third one; that'd be exactly how I'd describe my Halo preference

I already said this but I'm gonna play campaign before anything else. I'll kick my little brother's butt after I beat the game and kill the Covenant.
