Looking back at old videos and articles I discovered something intresting. Right now we are all hyped for the MP and that's why Bungie has given all kinds of info on it. However the Single Player is what I am most looking forward too and I wish I had a idea of how the SP is going to be like. The New Mombasa video was mearly a demonstration of the new features of H2 over the first game and as Bungie said in a e3 interview it will be highly modified come release time. Take for example the frag grenades were unleathal to demo the new stun grenades not to mention that the whole last part of the demo was heavily scripted to show us the Brutes and the Boarding. Now looking back at the old Bungie making of video and the discovery channel video I have finally realized this truth that the SP on November the 9th will be much more grand and spectacular than the e3 demo would lead us to believe and I think Bungie want's us to be shocked by the scale in Halo 2. in the discovery channel video they talk about defending giant space stations and even firing them and how there stressing the epic-ness of the game and that you would be fighting in the reckage of other Halo's. And in the making of video from X03 event they said there trying to make it seem that there's damage from battles that happened 900 thousand years ago and that it would be a galactic romp from ruins of Halos to acient forerunner facilities in the orbit of gas giants. Also the enemies will be much more involved in the game with the covenant politics and racial confrentations to spice up the game. In the Bungie Weekly Update there was a quote that the largest geometry of Halo 1 could be fit inside a level in Halo 2! So in short I cant wait for November the 9th and no matter how sweet the MP is going to be the SP will revolutionize FPSs as we know them like the first game did.

I agree too. I liked Halo 1's single player just as much as the multi.

Now to give respect where respect is due the MP is still a LAN favorite at my house and I still play XBC and I cant imagine how long I will be playing Halo 2. However the Single Player game the first time you beat it and the first time you beat it on ledgendary where some of the greatest moments in gaming for me. So for me the SP is where it's at whereas the MP will keep me gaming for a long time. it's like a oreo cookie where the two flavors create a great thing the same will happen for Halo 2 the SP and the MP will dominate my life for a while.

Ditto, and i just saw the Demo Trailer to Halo 2, when MasterChief actually lands on earth w/ some marines. I'm telling you, goosebumps were running up and down my body. Anticipation and the wait will be the hardest part on my side for Halo 2.

And to think we are so close to it's release it's now just a little over four months now. it's been a long wait but I would bet it will have been worth it.
