Everyone is just pissed because it was hyped up way too much. Sure it maybe isn't the greatest game, but you guys consider it to be an abomination when it's not. It's a very good FPS. I like it because it's got XBL support. Maybe Halo 1 has better graphics better gameplay. But, it doesn't have live support. Halo 2 was meant for Multiplayer to relate to XBL gamers. Not people who don't have online or people who just play campign.

I'm not calling Halo a horrible game, nor Halo 2.

I own Halo and am debating on whether or not to purchase Halo 2.  I think the franchise is overhyped is all.  I don't mean to detract from other people's enjoyment of the game.  I just get frustrated everytime someone declares it to be the greatest game ever.

I think they should broaden their horizons and experience some better games.

And these better games are ..... ?

For me Halo2 is most likely the best console game so far made. The XBL experience is sublime. The matchmaking is a stroke of genius.
All you guys who complain about a nerfed pistol, get used to using different weapons.
All you guys who complain about no server list, get better at playing ALL the games types. All you stat whores who pick & choose your games from a server list  can now offically suk balls smile.gif

Don't buy Halo2.  Its a lot of hype and doesn't deliver.  The story, or I should say lack there of, and the campaign are not good at all.  The game doesn't draw you in at all to the story.  Missions don't seem to have a point or focus and the game only gets good at the very end.

As for the multiplayer, its the best of what you can find on any console.  Unforunately Live! isn't worth the money.  Unless you're all about stats then sure go play live, but you can get the same service for free with xlink Kai.  With Kai there are not 3 minute wait times for 5 minute long games.  I can always choose and play whatever I want and don't have to have 15 friends just to get a custom game going.

Halo 2 is in no way the best console game ever made.  The best console game ever needs to atleast have A+ single player experience and Halo 2's is about a C.  Overall I would score h2 an 8/10.  6/10 for SP, and 10/10 for MP.

I have to agree that the outdoor environments did feel a little more cramped than in the first game, but that is only because of what is actually accessable(sp? yeah im too lazy for spell check).  The actual levels themselves are fuckin HUGE... as for the "Spray and Pray" statement... that is just a flat out lie... sure the SMG, Plasma Rifle, and the Needler spray and pray but thats what type of weapons they are.  If you call the battle rifle spray and pray.. you are a tard, if you call the covenant carbine spray and pray... you are a tard, if you call the sniper rifle/covie sniper spray and pray... you are a tard, if you call the brute shot spray and pray... you guessed it, short bus for you.  I just can't understand why people complain about the weapons in halo2.  Regardless, if you don't like halo 2 then keep playing halo 1 single player... and we wont see you on live

         First of all, making fun of the mentally handicapped, what are you, 14? Second of all, I agree, the Battle Rifle, Sniper Rifle, Covie Carbine, etc are awesome weapons that take skill to use.
My problem comes from the fact that everyone starts with an SMG or Alien SMG in ranked games. This causes a lot of fights to turn into the "spray and pray" gameplay people seem to hate. Making the matter worse, there is double the amount of "spray" weapons on a map then "skill" weapons. Don't get me wrong, I still play Halo 2 every day for 2-3 hours, and I am in no way a complaining noob, just look at my stats (TacticalBobcat or weranidr), but I just found halo 1 to be a lot more fun.  
Maybe another huge LAN, like the one I had for H1 will help.

I'd buy it, but I would rather Halo 3. Then again I don't really care anymore, I tried Conker L&R last night, and I think I will just wait for that for my online fun
