Post by: gamefreakgcb on November 11, 2004, 11:32:00 AM
I know this is just another retarded topic but I got nothing better to do as Im away from my XBox and not able to play Halo 2 till Wednesday. I was able to play it for a short while and I truly enjoyed it, still have to try Live on it though. Also to keep this thread from becoming another redundant post I also request other gamers to sign here who enjoyed Halo 2 keeping aside its shortcomings. Also post your XBL gamertags for others to see and play you. You can also post tips/tricks for SP or MP as long as its not one of the "how to get out of level boundries and kill people while remaining safe" tricks. Lets try to get as much fun out of our well spent money on Halo 2 as possible. Also I am warning any flamers/trolls/bashers to stay away from this thread. I enjoyed Halo 2 and hope for more fun from the Bungie team. pop.gif

SPOILERS

I wasnt paying attention around the space area.
When we're on Earth at the lake area, in co-op me and my friend were being shot at and we saw that the shooter was on the Warthog gun, first we thought it was a marine trying to shoot a covenant around us but there was nothing and I got pissed and just shot a Rocket at the Warthog, and out came the elite flying. We were surprised and were laughing our assess off for our stupidity first.
Marines drive covy vehicles. Also earlier in the Earth level my friend was looking for a warthog and one went by him and he started running behind cursing like crazy at the marine in the Driver's seat, then after a while just shot it with a Rocket Launcher. Cool Stuff.

More fun stuff on this link

Man, Halo 2 is awesome, the people who hyped it up way too much are the people that hate it, and think that is hillarious, I was excited about it , but it was just like any other game in my mind, not gonna be the "FREAKING BEST OMG!!!!!!"

So,  I'm sitting here enjoying it, while everyone else whines about how the pistol sucks now and the storyline sucked and how Halo 2 is "an nooob game"...I don't feel sorry for anyone who hates it now when all they did was hype it up beyond beliefe.  <

I sign also. I think its a great game and personly i like it better then the first one.  I dont see how those guys could be bitching so much. Im glad as hell they changed the pistol .... it was way to powerfull last time.  If you dont like halo2 then dont play it.. play halo and stop whining.  <

I only played it for 2 hours in co-op mode since I got it but I really enjoy it. Just wish it has system link co-op.

It will definately be a Halo 2 weekend though.

Halo 2 does fail to deliver.

Let me say this - I am not comparing Halo 1 to Halo 2 - This is not a bitch about some specific feature.  I am comparing Halo 2 to other games - like Riddick, or Black Arrow and Halo 2 fails to raise the bar above other games that are out there.   Halo 1 was a breakthrough and ahead of it's time - Halo 2 is not.  the relative merits of each version aside.

Thank God I rented it from Blockbuster - I got suspicious when I went into the Game shop and saw about 30,000 copies of Halo 2 lying around.  M$ has sucker-punched a lot of us with this release.

Read the first topic. I specificaly said "sign here if you enjoyed the game keeping aside the SHORTCOMINGS(which I know exist in the game), tips/tricks and your gamertag." Halo 2 cannot be btter than Halo 1 in anyway anymore because Halo 1 caught us off-guard and any more Halo releases, if there are any, will be hyped and ultimately meet the same fate as Halo 2 by the many people who hyped it beyond releif. Anyone remember Enter the Matrix? And Ghaz all the games you listed may be better than Halo 2 because they are still originals. Im just hoping Bungie pulls another Halo on us by not telling us and secretly developing it and BAM. That is the only way the next Halo can be better. IMO Halo 2 just added Live to Halo 1 and balanced it a little more and it delievered an excellent Live feature which gamers were crying about. That is all for now. Feel free to coreect me if you want but please use rational comments like Ghazi did. I hope Ghazi finds the Live feature fun becuase I am yet to try it after I get home.

Al_Ghazi...
have you fucking played the game?
do you know anything about  normal maping or rag doll phisics?
this game does both of these better than any game on xbox probably eeeever will.
aside from that halo2 kill riddiks normal maping (witch is a very hard beast to tame i might add)
the game out preforms everything in the market right now and it doesnt raist the bar? its "AS good" as any other xbox title?
man what ever you are smoking keep it the fuck away from me...
i sign...

So, instead of blabbing about why halo 1 pwns halo 2 (or vice versa) why don't we actually discuss the things we do and don't like and try to get bungie to do something about it....

thats it, I am right now starting the HPC(Halo Players Coailition) and we will organize our likes and dislikes according to how relevant they are to the game(s) and submit them to Bungie.  Again and again until we recieve some sort of recognition from them.

Anyone who is with me, let me know.

Sentient Im with you. Im thinking they left the end the way it is to build onto Halo 3 or possibly more downloadable levels. I'd prefer the latter as it would be quicker and easier to spread. They can also have Expansion disks for people who cant download from Xbox Live.

I'm signing.  I had a great time playing through SP.  After three nights of playing I beat it on normal, I'll try heroic next.  I only have a few bitches about it.   After 2 years of ads and trailers all saying "Your gonna fight for the survival of Earth" and "Now the Covenant have found Earth, so you must defend it",  I was kinda mad that only around 1/4 of the game is actually on Earth.  Sorry but I've had my fill of indoor hallways and spaceships from Halo 1.  I want huge outdoor maps, like the earth levels of halo 2, to be most of the game, I don't wanna go back to another goddamn Ring.(yes I know, even though you saving earth by going there...)
Anyways, Halo 2 definitly does have some shortcomings that i did not expect to be in a game 3 years in the making, but overall, its still a great game, well worth the money.


As for MP, to me it has all the great things halo 1 has, plus some new features that are awsome.  I love it.  Been playing 4 man splitscreen games for a couple of days now and i have nothing but positive things to say.  Man, I gotta get a live account...

ok ummmm... yeah people arent necessarily complaining about this game, its just that there are some things that just make it weird. It is a good game i admit that, but for SP, Halo 1 was alot better. I hated the arbiter levels they were so annoying. The storyline was dragged out. I thought you were actually going to fight more than 1 lvl on earth. Instead you fight 1 lvl then you go right to *SPOILER* ANOTHER halo. Its nothing really original.  We fought on a halo before, covenant are invading earth and what does mc do? he LEAVES! In the last level how many of those bridges and rooms do you run across that are EXACTLY the same? The ending was a whole 2 secs. multiplayer was better this time around.   The maps are a ton better, they just seem so much more, realistic in a way.  Battle rifle rocks, i knew it would. I personally want the pistol want the pistol back because, it was "powerful" but it was an all around weapon.  If you see someone off kinda far away, you have no long range weapon unless you picked one up.
       Overall it is a good game, but the repetitiveness brings it down to about a 9/10 on my list with halo leading for the story.  Why people are "complaining" is because bungie kept moving back the dates saying its gonna be so awesome itll rock! at least 3 times my hopes and anxiety were dashed when they moved it back. Kinda gay. People thought it was being made better because of the delays. Bugnie built the people's expectations so high they couldnt meet them. I dunno thats just my view. I think its perfectly normal for people to "complain" if they waited 3 years for a game thats supposed to be awesome and it isnt what they think it is. And with that, good bye fellow xbox-sceners. Off to view another post somewhere else! on XBOX-SCENE!
