Halo 2

[walbuls]

HALO 2 is here finally! :blasting: Hell ya. :blasting: Whos with me here? If you dont have XBOX live or if you do and want to stop paying for it, use this service for free online games of Halo and Halo2 + many other games. XBconnect (http://www.xbconnect.com)
This is a legit service. NOT a hack of XBOX live.

Also, if enough people request it they will get the new paintball game on it. :biggthump

[walbuls]

[walbuls]

whooo hoooo i finally got my copie at 1:45am after waiting in line since 11:45pm monday night. Anyone wanna by the 2 month free subscription ticket thing. Going for $28 with shipping.

[booboo808]

Got mine at around 12:15 am. Eb Games at Eastview mall near Rochester had a ticket system so you didn't have to wait in line, which was very nice. I already played through like 5 levels last night. I had to get up at 7:30 for work, and i have to get up at the same time tommorrow for class. These next two weeks are going to be very sleep depriving. Especially with Half Life 2 coming out as well.

halo was fun before everyone got good

Halo 2 > All

[DarkHope]

halo was fun before everyone got good

What he said lol....I dont think theres any comparison to halo 1. I liked halo, but Halo 2 is really in a class of its own, you can really tell Microsoft gave them an unlimited budget. Well worth my 50$. Im lvl 5 already w00t!

[booboo808]

Yea, Halo 2 just plays excellent. Really pollished.

I'm on level 11. ;)

[pimpinsaylor]

yep i reserved mine at game stop aswell

[dark2k2LCD]

lmao, all these people reserved the game and paid pre-order fees, i just waled in and picked up a copy for $10 ($50 for the game, and i got a free wireless controller which i returned at another store)

[kpaintball]

i just walked into my nearest costco and got it for $42. lmao

[Docnlk]

I got it at target, they had a ton of copies. I wish there was game lists online rather than auto searching. I'm not really impressed thus far. My opinion. Peace!

[RGertner1]

I'm almost done with the game, and I have to say that the more I played it, the more I was not as impressed as I thought I would be.

I'm not a huge fan of the new health system. The shields recharge faster, but one good shot when your shields are down and it's good night. I liked the old system better with the health packs.

Also, I'm not feeling the new Jumping. I think that Master Chief jumps too high and doesn't get really hurt jumping off ledges that are too high. Feels alittle too much like Unreal.

The way they implemented Live is good and bad at the same time. The whole party idea is great, but there are no options for dedicated servers and it takes too long to join in a random game. Feels alot like Ghost Recon.

You can definately tell that Bungie put a ton of time into the game and tired to make the Live Gameplay very different. Problem is that Halo 2 is no where near as revolutionary as the first, so it will never live up to others expectations. But as far as the $50 I spent, it was definately a good investment.

Thanks,
Ray

[thog94]

I reserved a copy from a certain online store, they were nice enought to ship it early so I had my copy on Monday afternoon! :niener:

[firemedic30]

Boys...I hate to upset anyone..

BUT......we have been playing multiplayer and I played the campaign and we have not been impressed.

Seems like an awful lot of hype and then have nothing to show for it!!!! My .02

[Docnlk]

Halo 2 = biggest overhype since Star Wars Eposode 1 and Matrix Revolutions
