Perfect Dark is awsome! Halo 2 will be better, but it will not have all those little extras that PD had. Like training mode/challange mode! I have a thread about it http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=482140 . Halo was realy is some need for better multiplayer customization (namely weapon/vehicle placement) also power up sould be there but be toggled on/off.

The only way you would be able to use bots would be in team slayer. It would take to much time to give the bots enought intelligence to hold an odd-ball, or capture a flag, or kill people before they get to a hill. I don't think that the bots would be that advanced so the only time you can really use bots would be team slayer. It would just seem pointless.

I loved Perfect Dark, but the Single player game fell apart for me. Now when I try to go back and play it, i find myself wondering what the hell I'm looking at (grafix). IMO Halo 2 will be better than Perfect Dark. You haven't even played Halo 2 yet.

Thats why Perfect Dark AND Halo 2 are coming out for the Xbox. Buy both. Switch them in and out. Have a blast!

If that's the gun that shot threw walls... That was the most lamest excuse of a gun I have ever seen... I mean, talk about the campers dream weapon.....

Only thing that toped it were nukes in old mods that killed everyone once they were fired....

Yes, it could compare, . . . . . . but it doesnt.

I think that PD was one of the best games ever made on a console (and it still is). PD and halo have a lot in common already, but I must admit that PD has a lot more content in terms of what can be done in the game. PD has more guns, and each gun could do several things. Even when you were unarmed, you could attack or disarm your enemies if you got close enough.

*WEAPONS*
Perfect Dark:
Sniper rifle that can shoot through walls and the scope could see through walls, its special function allowed the user to 'home in' on targets. (this was my favorite gun)
A rocket launcher that could fire remotely controled rockets (better than laser guided)
Laptop gun could be placed as a sentry gun, proxy mines, nerve bombs, ..... a huge list of cool weapons.

Halo:
Every waepon in halo has a very subtle and unique use. The limitation of only carrying two weapons brings careful strategies into the gameplay (both single and multiplayer).
Vehicles!!!! halo has vehicles, need i say more??

*Story*
Perfect Dark
Futuristic earth setting, your a spy-type person, there are conspiracies and aliens and artificial intelegences....sound familiar?

Halo: i shouldnt need to write anything here....

Game features:
Both games feature excelent single player, and two player cooperative campaign modes. Both games offer a configurable spectrum of multiplayer game modes.
Perfect dark has unlockable content and some configurable content (player skins).
Only Perfect Dark has Bots. This is its only concievable advantage over Halo.
Halo has superior music, sound effects and of course graphics. But this comparrison is unfair since PD was released on N64.

what realy made PD such a good game was its Bots, combined with the large quantity of maps and different weapons. up to 4 players could play as a team against numerous bots. If halo 2 supports bots in this way, even if its offline only, it will be amazing!

i think bungie already has a good AI for bots if they just use the same one they will use in single player for elites, ODSTs, brutes

Ya know what else Perfect Dark had? Counter-Opertive. Since you can be an Elite, I'd like to see that in Halo 2. And maybe you could command your grunts, jackles and everything else.

The Suicide pill would be a plasma grenade to the face.
