Ever since i have bought the controller for the original xbox that came with the halo 2 beta trailer i thought that it was going to be a break through game but when i played halo 2 it was just another filler game that just winged the story all the way into left field, why did you scrap that highly impressive idea of the covenant retaliating after the destruction of halo to destroy earth? i think that was going to be epic! Why Bungie?

There were so many new game play features in Halo 2, I don't know how you can complain. The storyline was also developed a great amount(personally, I think it had the best story of all the Halo games).

I read somewhere that the original script was made so Cortana actually strapped a bomb to you instead of you getting rid of it on the Covenant Ship.

I'm glad that changed though, heh.

No, it was miranda who strapped the bomb to you, and wanted you to blow up the gravemind.

Yup, they say this on the DVD that comes with Halo 2 limited edition.

I've just been thinking about this again recently. I looked again with interviews with the developers and one thing that they stress is that they didnt get to do all the things they wanted to do storywise in Halo CE. My own opinion is that the gravemind was probably one of these things that was going to be in CE. So to bring the gravemind element into the story, they needed a major shark jump - Delta Halo. How did the gravemind develop on Delta Halo?...

I also think that the arbiter levels should have been a seperate game.
