if halo was 10 out of 1 then what is halo 2 is it like 15 out of 10?
i mean halo2 is obviously better, you get to use 2 weapons at the same time, and the needler is worth having, also you get to use the plasma sword.

There is no such thing as a perfect anything, i.e. a 10 out of 10. But Halo came close, and Halo2 will go even further...

Halo was 10/10 and so should Halo 2 be. That's because magazines and people who do reviews are stupid, no game should ever get 10/10, because it can always be improved upon. Maybe 10/10 for the time, but that's different.

yea i agree witchu. thers always flaws nd stuff in games so they cant be perfect (10 outta 10). i think that in order for them to rate Halo 2, theyll haveta increase their markin standards. so like games that like 9.5 will have their ratin dropped down a bit. somethin like that.

In OXM it got a 9.5 and Splinter Cell got a 9.6 (which is there highest score so far). So I think they'll give it a 9.7

The game will be ranked compared to the quality of games that have come out recently. It will not be compared to the one before it because it came out years before and videogame standards have changed.

some of my friends are halo hater or not into it like myself and they say that halo2 wont get a better rateing then the first one due to the fact that say it looks the same and there isnt much done to it story ,graphic ect . I just want to kick them in the balls and punch there teeth in well not really but i do want to slap them and show them the videos thats right they havnt even seen the videos and there talking ish. The only reason i can possable see it not getting a higher rateing is cause people will say its not original any more but im possitive bungie has TONS of stuff in store for those haters.

According to OXM, Halo only got a 9.5/10...Halo 2 should get like a 9.8, 9.9 or a 10

I think in their review of Splinter Cell though they said they should have rated it higher, I know they said that somewhere.

in one of the issues an OXM writer said they wished they had given it a 10 .

Durring the time between the Halo and Halo2, many good games have and will come out. So many in fact, that the standard for rating games has rissen. Because there is a new standard, Halo2 could be better than the original but still have the same score.

here is a question and anwer from the Reader interaction section of the August issue

[color=white] A point about points
Your Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow review (May 2004) threw me for a bit of a loop. I've read it three times trying to figure out how this new game has managed to get a lower score than its predecessor. Your glowing review says, "Somehow, Ubisoft has raised the bar again. The fact it, Pandora Tomorrow is superior to the original Splinter Cell in every aspect." So. please explain to me to me and the rest of the readers out there" how does the first game get a 9.6 and the sequel, with online play and a slightly better single-player game, manages to get a 9.5?[/color]

[color=red] We say: While reviews are ultimately opinions, and we certainly respect yours, Richard, we looked at Pandora Tomorrow this way: the original came out in late 2002 at a time when triple-A Xbox games were a bit few and far between. It also came out of nowhere to blow everyone away. Between the origial Splinter Cell and Pandora Tomorrow's realease, many awesome games hit the Xbox (including Ninja Gaiden, reviewed in the very same issue). The bar has been raised across the board, not to mention the fact that Pandora Tomorrow wasn't an original, out-of-left-field surprise. Ultimately, though, you're talking about a tenth of a point. Isn't 9.5 enough to show you how much we love it, and that any Xbox owner should buy it immediately?[/color]

Since i started playing Halo, I now rate other games that I play on a '1 to Halo' scale. Of course 'Halo' would be the best. I haven't found a game that was a 'Halo' yet. I am hoping Halo 2 will be good enough that I can make my scale a '1 to Halo 2'.
