I was studying some of the press scans over at HBO and found this little gem.

Look [color=yellow] here [/color] and click on the top left-hand page. Zoom in and read the text on the Left-hand side of that page and drool at the facts!

Bungie already said that Halo 2 is almost just as long as Halo 1...

That's a recent magazine article where bungie gave them the screenshots to use. It's true.

I liked the over all lenght of halo, it was too short and it wasnt too long, and the lvl's that were long were action packed the entire way so it was worth it (Library)

I know (it's only a month!) but I doubt many people know about it though.

Well it would stop a lot of unnecessary posts with people asking about the games size etc.
And remember, the games size is the same as the space on 3 XBOX'S HARDRIVES!! (weekly update)

BEFORE it was compressed...At least that is what I thought it said. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to play it...DUH!

Yes WE KNOW THAT (DUH!!) (lets stop flaming ok?)
I'm just saying that BEFORE IT WAS COMPRESSED, it took up 3 Xbox's worth of space.

I dont know if I like levels being 5x bigger than AotCR, I mean that takes like an hour to beat, I dont want to spend 5 hours beating 1 mission, I'd rather have like 20-30 45mins to 1 hour long missions. now that would be fun.

They said five times bigger not five times longer. The levels are bigger and you can wander around more.

from the June 2004 OXM:

"The team emphasized that the enormity of the game's multi-layered maps and general environmental content will make it nearly five times the size of the original, thus making Halo 1 look like a junior one-bedroom shack in the middle of town compared to the sequel's sprawling mansion in the hills.

So while the levels may not be 5 times in size, it sounds like the level of detail and layeredness and overall use of the space available will be 5 times the original.

Did anyone see Frankie's update where he spoke to someone on the level design team and they told him there was a gap between 2 parts of 1 level, that could easily fit ALL THE GEOMETRY from Halo1? That is amazing!!!

Honestly, If there are at least 10 levels in halo 2 each the size and fun of AotCR, that's all I want.
