over time the lack of information released to the public on halo 2's gameplay- mainly viewing the E3 demo and playing the final product of halo 2- and what halo 2 turned out to be, has lead to many disappointed fans of halo. I myself, am one of them. the E3 demo showed off these features but did not implement them: melee attack combos, a semi-automatic battle rifle, a faster firing gauss warthog- though not to much dissapointment, the turret fired slower in the full version of halo 2-, a ghost that didnt need a booster, phantoms that carried a crew- not just a gunner,1 or 2 ghosts, and a pilot-, some brute weaponry, the ability to switch in between at least 3 weapons- (while in the final product you can carry 3 weapons, you CANT switch between them, you have to drop one of them, then you have to switch to your other weapon.), and even though im leaving out a bit more i cant think of, the BIGGEST dissapointment is that the level from the E3 demo was never there. i mean, sure they TRIED to make it look spectacular and amazing. but THAT is what the E3 demo was. and i think they tried too hard. i dunno about you, but they should have kept the battle rifle as a semi-automatic, and gave the carbine the 3-round burst.

now then, my question to you is this: would you pay $50 for the E3 demo?

look, pal, dont get me wrong, I like the final halo 2 product, i was just a little dissapointed that not everything in the E3 demo was put in the final product, i mean, the demo lasted like 8 minutes, and as soon as you get to the part in rhe game equal to the E3 demo it lasts like 4 minutes. oh and bud, thats level 19 douche-bag. get it right.

I'd pay for that E3 demo...that looked fun as hell...I'd pay 50 bucks just to play that level once :(
oh well Halo 2 was amazing, so I'm not complaining.

I see your point but ultimately it was just a test level. I'm really happy with the way things ended up. My only very slight criticism of what is otherwise a perfect game is i'd have liked more warthog moments. Old Mombasa to new Mombasa absolutely rules.....

I have a question for you!

Are you in the right forum?

I'm sure you can come up with the answer for yourself.

Phrog pilots, reckless and free. We would strap into our birds, set the engines on fire, and leave these earthly bonds with a chorus of WHOP WHOP WHOP. Akin to beating your chest and howling in defiance at the rest of the world.

I could care less that I can't play the demo; it's a blast to watch. I was only curious as to how Masterchief was going to get out of that plasma sword pickle with only one plasma grenade. That would be an exciting cut scene. (I love cinemas)
