Opinions are like arseholes - everybody has one.

Knowledge is knowing Tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

There is no such thing as a bad decision, only good decisions based on flawed information.

So when November 9th finally arrives, what will you do first: Go straight to the single player or try multi player first (either online or otherwise)? I think if there's an online Co-op mode i'll try that first, but if not i'll stick with single player.

I'm going to put the game in the 'Box, pause for a while, take a long, satisfied look in the mirror, and say something like "Today's the day." Then I'll turn the lights down, tackle campaign mode and probably not leave my apartment for several days.

"My knee is bleeding, can I have a bandaid?" "Today its your knee, and in 10 years it'll be your wrists, why are you making this my problem?"

Do this again and I'll brand your ass with the banning prod

Well first im going to eat som breakfast, then im going to the store and get my pre-ordered halo 2 copy. Then im going to KFC get a bucket of chicken wings and when i get home i connect my Xbox to the tv in the living room (big plasma TV) then i will play halo 2 campaign for days and days and days, and when im done, i get out of my living room and go to bathroom and take a long piss.

I'll probably go through the first single player level (if for nothing else than to go through the tutorial on dual-wielding and other new things). Then I'll probably play MP for a few hours online. Then I'll play some more single player, and so on.

Ah, what a glorious day that will be. It'll be like 10 christmas mornings rolled into one.

Only Becausae I'm Awesome

Forum Tutorials --- WATCH THEM AND LEARN

... exept the shops are open =]

I'll probably do the 1st level of campaign. Then runaround in LAN mode on Multiplayer maps to get the hang of them. Then go back to single player. Finish or get confused with the second level. then go to ONLINE multiplayer! and get bored since i'll be slayn a few hundred times. Unless theirs lag ofcourse... then it's an entirly different thing...

For sure I'm not going to work the last 4 days of the week. I will be up all night in the fetal position in the corner until the mail man finally comes around noon with my copy. A) It doesn't come yet and I commit suicide. B) I tackle him, grab it, and as quickly as possible throw the disc frizbie-style into the already open Xbox. Turn on the surround sound full blast and sit on the towel carefully laid out on the couch, you know, in case I piss myself. I won't be able to move for a week so luckilly I'd already plugged in the fridge next to the couch and got a bucket to piss in. The wife will empty it and keep the fridge packed full, and never say a word during this time or else I'll divorce her. I will keep a camera pointed at me to make my documentary, "The Effects of Sleep Deprivation". Hopefully none of the side effects cause me to confuse the fridge with the bucket...

Omg confusing a fridge with a bucket is soooooooooooo funny. Anywayz back on topic.
When i get the game i will lock myself in my XBOX CONCEALMENT CHAMBER, err.....i mean my bedroom (slip of the keyboard) and i will be stuck in their so long playing on xbox live that my whole family will forget that i have ever existed. i have a window to pee out of and i will bring up a 5 year supply of crisps (i might accidentally eat 'em all in a day). if i am stuck in their too long my parents will think that i am a thief trying to steal crisps. Halo 2 is the reason i was born. It has all become clear to me now. And if u r wondering y i am living wit my parents, it's because i am 14, not an adult living in the same house for the last 70 years.

Another idea no one has suggested is recording your first single-player performance on VHS. It may be quite humorous to replay your first missions six months later when the very idea of not having every level memorized is ludicrous.

[sarcasm] i think im gonna go out and hang out with my friends and probaly a movie after it'll be fun, halo 2 can wait a couple days for me[/sarcasm]

Edit: I dont want this to be spam so what im really gonna do is try to beat the game on the first day i get it (i probably will) but im guessing about 10 hours depending on amount of levels and length of course.

Hey, my local EB Games store (where I pre-ordered) is opening AT MIDNIGHT on Nov. 9th for the Halo 2 release!!! So I'll be standing outside the door at 11:30 PM on the 8th, ready to wet myself. Then I'll get my copy, go home and play Campaign all night. But if I can tear myself away from Campaign (which I don't expect I'll be able to do) long enough, I will go LIVE and show y'all what's what.

Well I'll start by getting out of bed... then I'll eat breakfast, wash, you get the picture. Then get halo 2, lock myself in my room and not emerge for days.

Xbox Live Gamertag: Opey Master

Posted by: link 1264
And yeah, Opey could probably win that game without using his BR. Best SMG user in Halo.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RCG ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm going to take the day off of school, lock myself in my room and play through the campaign the first half of the day and play online the rest of the day.

I will not eat.

I will not sleep.

I will only bask in the glory that is Halo 2.

You see, I'm going to play the campaign first because it was the only thing I had in Halo. My brother would never verse me because I always kicked his ass, and my friends all fight over who wants to be in my team whenever we play system link.

In fact, one time my friends all played a slayer pro game to determine who was going to be on my team!

Boo hoo!
