![]() I'll take a go at it tomorrow, but from the looks of it, it doesn't look like a huge upgrade, just different levels and stuff. |

My sister's boyfriend bought it today and brought his x-box over. The co-op mode is pretty bad-ass. Probably gonna play on x-box live once we're both done work tonight.

Oh and LOL @ anyone who pre-ordered or waited in line for this game
Just like with GTA, we just went to Zeller's and picked it up this morning. LOL. Good ol' Zellers. |

It's alright in some aspects but overall it pretty much sucks. It takes forever to load in to a game even if there are plenty of people playing and you don't even get to select the map you want, just what style match. The level thing is pretty nice but there are a lot of people that shouldn't be where they are.
When I play head to head it pisses me off because majority of the people playing go straight for the sniper rifle and, depending on which map, the sword or the rocket launcher. So if you don't get there first, you're done for. Other then that it isn't too bad. The stats are amazing but a lot to handle sometimes, like in big games. |

I like the ranked game system just fine, but i would like for it to be possible for there to be a lobby where you can pick games without having to play your friends.

Also, if there was a simple "Rematch" button at the end of the games, that would be nice. I just wish you were able to use your own game styles in ranked games and were able to use your multiplayer gaming tags, rather then the Xbox Live tags.

Yeah, I wish once you joined a game, you stayed with that server and those people until you felt like qutting yourself. It's like every game you play is with a whole new bunch of people, annoying.
So is there a way to play with your friends but not in a custom game? Because the server randomly chooses the games for you, wouldn't you get separated? Also, I wish two people on the same XBOX could play online in "matchmaker" mode. I don't know enough people to always be playing these custom games damn it. ![]() But the game is the goods. I do need one of those talking things cuz I feel left out. ![]() |

I like it as a game... But as a sequel to Halo, it has failed. Completely revamping a game that people loved was a stupid mistake. If it were a standalone, completely new game, it would be awesome. It's still fun, but if I was offered to play either, I'd still play Halo 1 instead.

There are a few new weapons, the game play is still the same, only thing new is XBOX Live, which isn't revamping since the first game didn't have it. |

Yeah, I can understand that. Only got XBOX recently, so kind of missed out on the whole Halo 1 craze. Played it and all, and it was fun but never enough to fall in love with it. Didn't get too far in the Campaign.
So essentially I'm treating Halo 2 as a standalone. |

You can have more then one person on an xbox play in matchmaker but you have to go in to the training grounds where they are unranked games. Also, if you join a party with friends you will be put in the same game.

Yea just go to create party on the main menu, and invite your friends. You won't get separated until you quit.

They changed the engine. The game play is -nothing- like Halo 1.
They changed vehicle physics, took away health and only gave you shields.. They tried to balance all of the weapons, which unfortunately means that the sword and rocket launcher are the two best weapons. They added way too much crap to clutter up the screen, making it confusing as hell to tell what is where... like with all the little icons and shit above names. It is a completely different game. |

The engine is the same, but those subtlties I can see why one wouldn't like it over Halo 1.
Anyways, Jonster get your ass online. |

After playing it enough and getting used to the differences from Halo 1, I have to say that I love it. Been playing Live with DS and some others, and damn... It's still different, but I've decided that it's in a good way.
