Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

i don't have live, and my brother and sister never want to play, and i'm rarely allowed mates round, so campaign for me

  • 06.01.2006 4:23 AM PDT

Definitly the campaign would be the first on my list. I got to know how the story ends.

No live? Man, that's pretty much the #1 thing that Halo 2 has to offer. The campaign is fun, but the Xbox Live component is really where its at.

Im not really sure becasue of the fact that the game would be different, because a whole bunch of things were changed from halo 1 to halo 2

Probably campaign first, then a few multiplayer games, then I'd probably finish campaign and never touch it again.

I would play them both at the same time, except if I did, I wouldn't play with the headset and turn voice off, cause I wouldn't want to overhear any discussion of what happens in the end. Yeah, I'll probably finisht he campaign within 2 days time.

I have to agree, the campaign WAS rubbish. In Halo 1 however, different story...

campaign and multiplayer at the same time. I'll probably focus on single player campaing the first weekend after it comes out.

me too if they FINALLY make the campaign co-op Live. if they do that I will be playing 4 player co-op live for like a year straight.

I used to love playing the HCE campaign. Played it so many times it was rediculous. I pulled it out the other day when my firend was over and all I got to say is WOW. We couldn't put H2 back in soon enough, it wasn't even close H2 was just so much better. I know it sounds strang saying because of the amount of times I played HCE campaign, I will say the actual levels where better for HCE(meaning level design). However it just seemed much slower, and not even close gameplay and graphic whise, I love the H2 weapons much more.

I've got no idea how you can say that, I never play the Halo 2 campaign these days, if me and a mate want some co-op action we go for Halo 1. The levels feel more open, the scripted events and set-piece battles are much better choreographed, the missions blend into each other more seamlessly, and each combat scenario feels more desperate than the last. So much better, in terms of gaming experience.

I don't play H2 campaign since I got the game, played it for two months and it was good I thought. I play MM all the time.

As I stated the levels in HCE are much better, your right.

However as I stated before I played HCE campaign probably a billion times, I loved it. But after not playing it for two years, because H2 came out, I was shocked. It almost hurt my eyes just looking at the screen. The graphics arn't even close, and even more then that the movements of MC are not even remotly close to the fluid movement of MC in H2. The weapons blow, no Br and the pistol is a joke. there is no sword, no alian sniper, no alian tank, no lunging punches, no BxR, no BxB. shoot someone three or four times 200 yards away with a pistol and you kill them, enough said.

I've challenged my beliefs. What is the book about?


I find that this is usually untrue. If religious people honestly, diligently and intelligently challenged their beliefs, there would be no religious people.

I'd play it on easy, get through to the end faster. Then try legendary to brush up on my skills for multiplayer.

Well I guess all that depends on personal preference. There's no alien sniper, tank, or comedy superman sword - you're right there, they certainly don't enrich the experience for me personally though they are just nice touches. BxB and BxR I really don't miss, they're glitches I've no use for them in campaign - although I could always BLB if I wanted. Same with lunging punches, don't really need the homing lunge to help me out. All the weapons are longer range and more powerful than their H2 counterparts - needler is horrific against elites, plasma rifle really hurts and at a range too, AR mashes up with a force and range the SMG isn't even on speaking terms with. When you consider the longer range combat overall, the range of the pistol makes sense! And obviously there's the shotgun.... :-)

But as I say it's down to personal preference, I rate the campaign feel and level design over the weapon variety and graphical improvements. Each to their own...

I didn't say your opinion was dumb. I said your reply was.

Did I really have to just explain the difference? Damn, if I'm 11 then you must be about 4.
