i think 10/10 is pushing it.  id give it a 9.5, not without its glaring flaws and yes im at the end of the game so i know what im talking about unlike most people who jump the gun and give it 10/10 for no reason but fanboyism oh and everyone knows that to fully enjoy halo 2 (with its live features) one has to PURCAHSE the game when it comes out, i think that most if not all people who pirate this game will also buy it (like i did with fable, bought it first and then pirated it) piracy really isnt an issue when you pay for your game.  so if you paid for it, dont feel bad getting it first over the net, i say if you can do it, fuck the bullshit, im having fun now.

wow, you bought it, THEN pirated it? your like superman

I would give it an 8 because it plays NOTHING like halo 1. The smoothness is gone, and that is what separated halo from shit like UT for me. Good game, no doubt, but they blew it by reworking the engine and every single gun.
I see why OXM gave it a 9.7. If it got the reasonable score of 8, people would riot in the streets.
You'll see what I mean when you guys get it.

EDIT: I'm really counting on skilled modders here.

i finished halo 2.

and im a big fan of halo...books , the first game...the multiplayer.

everything...and u ppl dont have to worry...

everything that was good on halo is still there...

if you care about halo...if you have been waiting for it...

its not going to dissapoint you...


for those guys who are always complaining about everygame

for those who doesnt really enjoy videogames as art.

for those who think that videogames are not what they used to be.

halo 2 is definetly not for you.


but a lot of ppl here in the scene...has access to a lot of games easily....

without efforts... so they feel free to just throw games out of the window...

even if its wind waker....or halo 2

ppl just dont like games anymore.

they find errors in every fucking game.

and the truth is.... halo 2 for me.  a big fan

a 20 years old guy who have videogames since he was born.

its been one hell of a ride... if u liked halo... this one is better...

and by better i really mean it.

better gameplay... more difficult.  more story twists...

missions so amazing that i felt very very excited while playing them.

and almost perfect multiplayer maps.

more guns... more missions.  

and breathtaking ending.

thats halo 2.

  Maybe they were taking all that time to soak it in though.  

I agree with you Ahser, but I gotta gripe about the mp a little bit.  I was desperatley hoping for something like Danger Canyon.

access to a pool of games doesnt mean anything, if anything it'd mean that those quality games really do stand out and matter when you look forward to them and finally get them and bad games/subpar games dont really have a spot on your gaming schedule anymore, thats what i have gotten out of having so many games, in the end you have less, but those few really matter.

getting back to the halo 2 review, professionals have to see it a lot differently,  they have to be unbiased as possible, some of us know how that goes a lot dont.  magazines, internet writers have to score this game fairly, for the flaws it does have it cant be overlooked just because the game is so awesome ya know?  it already got great merits in the areas that matter so im okay with anything anyone throws out there.  egm will prolly give it 10 across the board and i expect 9.5-10 from game informer.  but look for similarities between each review and youll see where the achievements/failures really lie.

just remember in the end, thier score is just thier opinion, take it for what it is.

lol a lot of time that happens w/ the scene.  i was suprised to hear that people beaten the game 2x+ already before i could even get a shot at the game.
