I know the game isn't out yet, and what we have seen isn't even completed yet. But this is just my opinion, on what ive seen. These are my complaints... agree with me or don't, I could care less. You may be asking yourself "why the hell should you complain?" Well there are just to many good things about the game to talk about, so I just wanted to state what I thought was "the bad".

1.) Arm position on the battle rifle. Look at it, the MC's arm is at a very strange anlge. Very unconfortable if you were to move your arm in that postion. Look at the latest HUD pics, and check out his arm, now move your arm in that position... bad huh. Now look at the old E3, they had it right the first time, his arm is in a much better place. Yeah, its a small problem and a lame one... but hell, I noticed that it was strange.

2.) Dual wielding. If any one you have read this article http://rhoxbox.com/articles/00007.html you will see that it says under "no more pistol" that you can dual wield a Battle Rifle. Now im all for dual wielding it kicks ass. But two battle rifles? Yeah, the MC is strong enough, but don't you think thats a little ridiculous. Maybe I read the article wrong though, because I doubt that bungie would do somthing that lame....

3.) Dual wielding reloading. Have you seen the Multiplayer footage of reloading when you dual wield? Not to cool. I was expecting bungie to come up with somthing awsome for dual wielding reloading. But I guess not... They stuck with the Golden Eye thing from N64... where you can reload somehow with your toes and climb up a ladder at the same time. Sorry bungie, this is to hard not to comment on.

4.) hijacking... It seemed a little to easy on the multiplayer footage. Videos of people warping what seemed yards onto the hoods of cars to knock out the driver. It looked like it would get anoying after a while. Yeah, you can't board a vehicle moving to fast... but maybe make it a little harder... somthing that a "pro" with lots of practice could only do maybe. You can bash me on this one... but hell I just thought it was kinda easy looking. But as they say, "easier said then done"

5.) No health? This is a major problem for me... In Halo2 bungie decided to take out the health, now before you go arguing with me saying "They didnt take out the health, you just cant see it" think again... watch the vids and read the article... You have no health... Yeah, the shields are more powerfull... but don't you think this is very unrealistic? Ive heard other people who agree with me say things like this "Why doesent the MC just run around with a shield pack naked? It would give the same effect" Now as scary as it seems to see the MC naked, its just as scary to think that the MC is weaker (technically) then a grunt... because all he is, is, shield. However, I do like the fact that there are no more health packs... those little packs that majically healed you were lame.

6.) Jumping super high. Im fine with it in Multiplayer... it gives a pretty cool feel to the game... but in campaign? I hope not... I know he's strong... but lets not make this game like Mario.

7.)Boost efect on ghosts etc. Also gravity effects. This is purely -blam!-ing here.... I just don't like the way it looks... all purple and streaming. A bit to cartoony for me. Not to mention the strange stuff on the bottom of the ghost... I don't like it at all. (remember, just my opinion)

8.) Second explosion on ghost. I just don't like that period.


Now that was some major bashing and -blam!-'n (sorry bungie)... and I highly doubt everyone will read that. But I just wanted to see what people thought of my complaints.

I sorta agree with a lot of those, but what your asking for is just halo 1 again. Of course with new graphics + story. But I have warmed up to the new things. : /

I find it funny how you already have problems with halo 2 when the game isnt even out yet, what you've seen are alpha's/beta's of the game. Many things could change in the full version, u dont even know. Dont hate on the game after watching VIDEOS that displeases you.

Try readint my post again... I said, I know that the game isnt out yet... this is just based on what has been shown so far.. for all we know they could change it. Its just my opinion.

the first explosion is the ghost blowing up...the second is it trying to start up again and it blows up again because of it.

You cant duel wierd BR's the guy who said that slipped up.
Do you honestly want vehicle baording to be hard as -blam!-? you have to catch em moving slow...thats hard enough as it is..
Yes the BR arm thing is wierd..
You HAVE health its just not that much,a few hits and your dead,like real life...
Higher jumping,its not THAT big of a dif but its because of his upgraded armour ;)

And duel wielding an Ar is total bs, only guns that use ONE hand only are able to duel wield.
and i do agree with the whole health thing, but i guess it balances the constant running back to base to pick up health thing

most of those are probably legitimate concerns, but ill probably just wait till i actually play it before i pass judgement.

WHOA! You mean if I am wearing a multiple alloy armour thats meant to stop bullets i'll die in a few hits? That's a little of in Bungies part, because in the novel, the fall of reach, the MC takes like 20 bullets when he first gets MJOLNIR armor and nothing happens except dented armor

  • 07.28.2004 9:41 PM PDT

1, you cannot duel weid battle rifles.
2, you will have health, its just that bungie hasn't finished it yet.
3, you dont jump any higher, it's just an illusion.

well, i think the guy in the interview made a mistake when he talked about the dual battle rifle. also, i don't like the idea of the jumping very high either, but bumgie is doing it and i trust it's cool and well balanced. i do like the secondary explosion and everything else you mention is minor and will likely get fixed.

Notice how whena spartan gets hit in the books with a plasma gun it burns STRIAGHT THROUGH....Also his whole body isnt covered by the armour,some have that black meshe stuff on it that really isnt bullet resistant...And hell lets see you survive a hit from a br without armour on,it wouldent even take one hit to drop you,3 is more than enough ;)

That is totally true... but lets take other factors from other characters in the game! The marines can take more then 3 hits, the grunts can, the jackles can... Why the -blam!- cant the MC? He has obviously better armor then the marines!

i understand that you said that your complaints are with the curent knowledge that you have of Halo 2 but think of this there are three more months untill the game comes out if bungie notices that what you have said is a big probllem then they will fix it. Now we can all agree that there is no Video Game System FPS out there that is better then Halo or what we have seen of Halo 2 so i say dont focous on the little stuff and if you realy dont like it then i think that Bungie will change it since they probably do read the posts on this sight.

1.) So what if his arm is straight.

2.you cant duel wield BR's, just stupid.

3.)People can pop clips out and have a clip belt thingy, and put down thier gun to their waste and pop it in.

4.)Its on most of the videos we have seen because they were lucky they did it. Its probably harder than you think and bungie said its hard so yea.

5.) I dont know about the no health thing. It will take a few minutes to get used to but we will get over it.

6.) LOL, yea jumping is krazy now but for a super soldier in krazy suit of armour? Its easy.

7.) I think the effects look kool.

8.) I can here people screaming now, how they got owned by a wild gohst


Im not flameing you at all here. This is my opinion.

Now Now, ther was no reason to be rude, he was just saying what his opinions are, even though they are wrong. :)

Seriously, I think they are being a little nit-picky, and baseless. But he already said as much in his post.

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

8. Don't forget it is not just the Ghost but aslo the Warthog as well. Personally I love the secondary explosions. The secondary explosionon the Ghost is from its fusion core fail safe, same for the Warthog except the explosion is from the turrets power source.
