Ok, lets go over it one by one.

BITCH: They ruined my PISTOL!!! They ruined my PISTOL!!!
Response: Get over it. It was one weapon from the original. They've re-tuned all of the weapons this time around to give each more balance. I'm going to say this now, and it will become a recurring theme. This game is Halo2, not Halo. Things change. Halo still exists if you'd prefer playing it, but I assume you'd prefer just bitching about whatever game you can. Yes, the pistol is less powerful. Some weapons are more powerful, find a new weapon.

WHINE: They didn't include all of the MP maps from HALO!!!!!
Response: WTF? Thats ridiculous. It's a new game with new maps, and they DID revamp some of the better MP maps from the first and put them in. I guess the bitch stems from the fact that they didn't put YOUR favorite level in the game. Again get over it. This game is Halo2, not Halo. Most sequels don't include levels from the original. That would be cheese. If they had included all of the MP levels from Halo the bitch would then be "Why didn't you make new maps instead of re-using this old shit!" Some people just can't be satisfied.

MOAN: I can't switch between vertical and horizontal split screen! Fuck you Bungie!
Response: Change your widescreen settings in the Xbox Dashboard.

COMPLAINT: I keep seeing the NORML mapping/BUMP mapping pop in on characters in the cut-scenes and in-game.
Response: This is actually a legitimate complaint that bothers me a bit as well. I hope they address it in some downloaded content, but I can live with it otherwise.

BITCH: WTF is that ending?!!!!??
Response: Yeah, it's a little out there, but it's totally Bungie's style. It definetly won't please everyone, and like the one above, I can understand peoples problem with the ending, I just don't think it was THAT bad. It felt like a Bungie ending.

WHINE: MP isn't like MP in Halo
Response: Good. This is Halo2. Everyone that I know that has dedicated some good time to the game with a good attitude to the game realizes that the game is a much more enjoyable, balanced, and stragecially complex game now than the original and like the original I think it will take time for everyone to catch on to all the nuance.
You used to pwn in Halo. You had three years playing it. You'll get good at this one, it's a better game, and all of the real pwners know it.

CRY: I'm so fucking disappointed, the game rocks but it didn't live up to the hype. It wasn't what I thought it would be. It doesn't include vehicle X, weapon Y and feature Z.
Response: Don't believe the hype. Do you know what game you are comparing it to? A non-existant game you made up in your mind. Bungie was up front about everything they didn't add or cut from the game. It just couldn't live up to the halo2 you made up in your head.

I think it's important to note that all these hate posts aren't the result of a sucky game in my opinion. It's because all the non-haters are still playing.

I'll add more as it comes. <

This one is my current favourite:

WHINE: I can't grenade jump out of the level on Bloodgulch anymore. I can't do physically impossible things in the level anymore. I can't exploit a bug in the code to get me somewhere to snipe where no one can shoot me.
Response: Hahahahahah. Waaaaaah. Really, I just don't know how to respond to this one. Its just so stupid. Who cares? Its not Halo. It's Halo2. It's not bloodgulch, its coagulation. New physics. New areas. New gameplay. You want to warthog jump into the sky and kill with impunity? Play Halo and leave us all alone.

BITCH: I don't die when I fall anymore.
Response: There is some falling damage from extremely large heights. He's Master Chief for christ sakes, he's got new armor, he can take a clip or two of assualt rifle without going down, why is it so hard to believe he could survive a few hundred feet drop?

True that. I guess this should be a warning before posting any Halo 2 complain threads. Its seriously killing XS servers. The search is down, speed is so slow.
Edit:- Halo 1 "PISTOL" elites hate Halo 2. New sig i guess.

ok, my gripes:

no bots in MP?

wtf! i mean atleast give us the option... two people playing 1on1 just isn't that much fun, so i have to wait to get a group together to play, and being married, that's kinda hard! i guess i could have a friend over and hop on xbconnect but then i'll the problem of lagg and frame refreshing crap...

they changed the AI of the flood, i understand, they are starting to organize more, but part of what made halo1 fun was the flood being so balls out to get to you;jumping at you, chasing you down etc., this time they felt like i was fighting the covenent, but with masks on, they hide from me, try to ambush me, hardly ever jump at me, and only once they are in close range do they start to chase me...

the game felt like it was about 1 or 2 levels too short; i seriously thought my xbox messed up when i saw the credits, i mean they stopped the game at a bad point, MC had spent the last few levels trying to get to the ship so he could stop it/kill truth, so we got what, half way through his mission and have to wait another 2.5 years to finish it! and what about "saving earth" ?? it is still under attack from what i know, so we didn't finish that that mission either. i think if they had allowed us to kill truth, but left the rings active and earth in peril, it would have made the game ending 20 times better, just one more level is all it woulda taken, but just let us finish the minor missions we set out to accomplish, and leave the bigger picture open! not leave the bigger picture, open a new bigger picture (the active rings) and leave us off dead in the middle of a minor mission! and no, it wasn't a "bungie" ending, ok, leave us with a cliff hanger, but dont make us feel like we didn't finish the game... grrr, sorry i'm ranting, i'll stop

my only complaint is:

WHERES MY BLOWJOB!!!!

I thaught HALO 2 WAS SUPPOSED TO COME WITH A BLOWJOB FROM A SUPERMODEL!!!

my .02 cents...

I am a little upset that they couldn't figure out how to include the 4 wheeler into the game... and it wasn't hype... if you watch the dvd in the collector's edition they say exactly what i just did....

oh and those who complain about the no fall damage.... if you sheild is gone say from being shot while in a banshee and you bail at the highest point... you will die....

yes just like everyone else the complainers are very annoying... so are the extreme fanboys... they actully crack me up.... GOD THIS GAME ROCKS.... IT WAS SO WORTH THE WAIT... just play it... I'm a big fan but there is a point when you must realize ... it's a game....

My only gripe is that they release secrets/easter eggs and when you try to do them,they dont bloody work!! <

zot23 · « **Reply #14 on:** November 11, 2004, 01:29:00 PM »

My thinking is they didn't include bots as it would lead to whores stat pumping themsleves by only playing bot games or 8 v 8 player games with just two players who agree to just cream the opposing bots.

I would have liked to have had the bot option though, maybe just in unranked games? Or made it so that killing a bot or being killed by one doesn't count towards your stats?

Still, the game is so much damn fun in SP and on Live that bots are practically a non-issue. Fantastic game!
