If anyone is like me, Halo 2 will be the answer to all of my prayers. It will be never ending fun. It will make me happy.

Does this sound like you?

If so, you are probably extremely excited about Halo 2. It is when we are this excited about something that our imagination will begin to create a vision of Halo 2 that is not only a great game, but a symbol of fun, and quite possibly an escape for depressed kids.

Try to remember in all of your posting and dreaming, Halo 2 will be nothing more than a videogame. Afterwards you will probably be hyped about Halo 3 or the next bungie game, but keep in mind that getting too hyped up about something can leave you dissapointed and possibly take away from the experience of the final product.

I never had an N64. Have never really liked Nintendo much. I was/am a computer/microsoft geek. Lol. So computer games and Xbox games are for me.

True. It is definitely not good to lose yourself in one game. Nevertheless, we will all agree that Halo 2 is gonna kick lots of ass.
Still I hope people agree that it is important to also focus on other things until November 9th, like a girlfriend, school, friends, family, etc. The toughest task is to find an equilibrium of all that. Many people don't and they start isolating themselves from society. You are right, indeed.

Well look, if your saying that this game might not live up to all the hype, then I got 3 words for you, "You are wrong." Everyone (EVERYONE) that has played a version of the game said it was the best experience of their lives. This game is art and beauty wrapped up in blood and violence. It is mixing good and bad into a game so fluently gorgeous, words can almost not describe it. This game will be like nothing ever before created, and EVERYONE knows it, except you. So get in the picture man, this game is going to exceed every ounce of hype, every dream of every person, and fulfill all the wants of a good FPS on Xbox Live.

Peace.

Perfect Dark was an amazing game. I hope RARE decides to make it, along with Killer Instinct, on Xbox 2/Next.

Back on subject, though. If Halo 2 wasn't all it was hyped up to be, then every single game site/magazine/association wouldn't still be talking about it after having a chance to play it 3 months ago at E3. These people, in the gaming industry, live off the hype they create, and then demolish when the final product doesn't live up to THEIR unbelievable high standards. However, after playing ONE level of MP in an older, unfinished version of Halo 2, everyone's comments consisted of: "The hype doesn't live up to the actual product!" That's quite an uncommon statement to hear people in the gaming industry stating. People went crazy over the unfinished product at E3. I can't imagine how amazing the final product will be with mulitpled MP maps, newer graphics engine, and (My favorite part) an amazing campaign mode/storyline.

Imagine if you didn't know anything about Halo 2 the first time you played it. You cannot deny the experience would be better that way. I'm just saying don't take the hype overboard

Maybe it's just me then cause I thought Perfect Dark wasn't as fun as the original Goldeneye. Or worth the hype I gave it for that matter.

From the reports by the people who have already played the game, It's going to be very good. Not something that will make you fly or have panty vision, just some of the best fun in a long time.

Perfect Dark crushed goldeneye, perfect dark was so much better, it had better graphics, WAY more weapons, more sharicters, better AI and better multiplayer. I mean if you shot a gun out of the guards hands he would sometimes give up, thats awesome.

I would have to say on a scale of 1-10, Goldeneye being a perfect 10... Perfect Dark was a 9.999. Their were some great inovations in that game. If my memory severs me correct, I think Perfect Dark was the first game with dual weilding target locking:)

Anyways, do you see what we're all saying about Halo 2 living past the hype in the gaming industry?

With the addition of all of the unreal alien weapons. The change of main character to a girl. The way the damage system worked. The blur that would stay forever from a melee attack. The disarm enemy attack. All of these things sounded cool but when I tried them in the game, it didn't feel like Goldeneye, and it really took away from the experience.

I suppose as long as Halo 2 kicks Halo's butt in every department I have nothing to worry about

[color=lime] Halo 2 is nothing but a videogame just as

NBA finals is nothing but a basketball game

Windows 98 is just a program

Hitler was just a popular guy...[/color]

i dont thin halo 2 can fail unless they introduce a new -blam!- playable character, fail in MP by dont haveing the old levels, dont deliver enough new things, to many new things to learn and take account for, or if they mess up by having a really glitchy and badly presented game.

to me if it is halo online it will be good but it obviously is going to be better than halo since all the things we didnt like about halo will be fixed also if you ever though the game was uneven or gave advantages to differnet bases i think this game will be for you since everything has a counterpart

also i just hope halo 2 has some of these stuff even though i could do without, 3. A feature that instead of ranking by gametag it ranks by profile, 2. Being able to fly large transports (pelican phantom stuff liek that) 1. Replay feature of online and offline games that useslike what battlefield 2 will use instead of saving an actual video it saves a piece of the game engine that way the replay is not tha big quick to save and very good quality

Halo has a huge hype to live up to but you have to remember this is coming from halo 1 the hype gets people excited to play lets say halo 2 didn't meet our expectations still it would be one dang good game and for the emotional letdown eat something and you will feel beter about that
