The War will wage forever; though with it's fury comes a peace that you will never know here.

Fortunately, I cant pick any one of those over the others. All of those components together will make Halo 2 the best game on this planet.

my answer is YES.


They are all important, and Halo, probably more so that most games in recent memory is great not because of weapon balance, not because of stellar AI, not because of superb multiplayer map design, but because of how well everything comes together. The game is more than the sum of its' parts.


If I had to pick one, I think it'll come down to weapon balance as that's what's really going to give the multiplayer it's legs.

Voted for balanced weaponry because it tends to reduce complaining amongst my minions. The more i think about it, A.I. and an exceptional physics engine keep me fooling around In singleplayer when theres nothing better to do.

That's true jndu, as I made the poll, I realized that I couldn't even pick one myself. But I did settle with weapon balance...

In the end, Halo2 will be judged on the story that revolves around the game.
(And I think the Bungie guys have that aspect covered.)
So I said the single player game is most important.
That is first. Then the single player graphics will be scrutinized.
Then how much fun the game is, and the experiences remembered.
Finally the depth, the game lenght, how many play modes, the online package.

You should have put an all of the above option in there. I don't think i can pick because all of that stuff together will make it great.

i have to say with all the new things in halo i really hope they have bots. i could play halo day in day out with just a coulple of friends if they had bots. its one of the few things the game is missing. i would also like to see my shooting accuracy in the post carnage report and possibly more team colors and maybe even chosing a personal weapon to start with in like the player profile setup
