Halo 2: A Week Away
This is like a wierd feeling you get you're at the entrance point of a theme park ride after you waited 20 minutes. It's so close you don't know what do with yourself. There's little more (Solo-mode aside) I need to know that every 'zine and website didn't cover to death. The kick ass TV ads are up and running, and somewhere, someone is already playing the 'official' finished copy (as is always the case a week before any game). Every Thursday me and my buds go to a local college to play some Sysytem Link'd Halo matches. They usually get to 12 people at the highest, and there's always something keeping us from hitting 16 player. Hopefully, we'll hit 16 this week with Halo 1; but it wouldn't matter, everybody I know will have Halo 2 and part one will be a distant memory.

Call me crazy, but with the information I already learned, I've been developing little strategies for when I play the game. Like how to deal with two Wraiths or ideal ways to trick Warthog offenses into getting jacked by team members. I'll forget all that when I actually play the game, but I'm only human.

Finished copies? The game just went Gold not long ago. Sure enough unfinished builds were played by mags and such, but that's different.

They've been giving finished copies away for a while now. And then not to mention the leaked version a couple weeks ago.

Copies have been given away at gaming conventions to managers of the gamestop stores, actually nearly two months ago. Yes, they were finished versions.

I was wondering, is anybody gonna jump to XBox live like a second after they open the case? I'd rather wait until later, or after a few offline battles. Most likely I'll be reading the manual cover to cover (a tradition of mine), making a profile (and allowing others to do so), making multiplayer games (a standard Slayer and Team Slayer at start), and playing it all night with whoever's lucky enough to be in the area. The DSL is down at my place, and I won't hit 'Live when I get the game. Cry for me. All I have is stupid System Link and stupid Campaign. Poor me.

20 minutes in line at a theme park is nothing. I waited almost 4 hours in line to get on the Raptor at Cedar Point when it first opened.

4 hours in line for anything is dedication I'm not able to hold. Then again, the line for Halo 2 Monday night might be a test on that statement. I'm thinking about going like right after Raw that night, but I'm thinking somebody's gonna camp it out the whole day. That's sort've taking it too far if ya ask me.

Oh boo hoo.
2 more days is nothing.

I'm not even going to be home when it's delivered, and it'll be sitting at home for me when I return on the Friday or Saturday, and I'm not bloody complaining.

It's a game, there's more important things in life to get annoyed about.

DS pre-ordered, but we're staying at the EBGames from like 1-ish till midnight when it's released so that we can get it that night. Also, we have no lives, so that's why we're doing it.

I'm already sick of Halo 2, we got in our shipment Friday night at EB Games, had to call everyone on a list of 800 plus preorders and let them know they can get it Tuesday. Then we're also having a midnight madness, where if you come in Monday night at Midnight (Tuesday morning) then you can get your copy... 300 people said they're going to be lining up at our store at 9 pm... Guess who works Monday

Gamespot gave it a 9.4 rating. The single player campaign sounds kind of disappointing but I don't find myself wanting to play the single player that much. I think the multiplayer aspect is what is making this game.

Not this time, I got two of those emails as well (one's a Christmas present).

Also, I like it when they call me Mr Edwards. Makes me sound important

I look forward to Campaign a LOT...Gotta go pick it up in a few hours. My LE copy. *strut*

I'm not concerned about multiplayer. I play it, but Bungie said the focus was the campaign, which they said was the main focus of the game...

People working on Campaign mode = 60+

Multiplayer mode = A little more than four. That's on bungie's website somewhere..


This story is supposedly a lot longer too. Just can't wait to dual wield.

Just hours away for me. Although I actually came across the leaked french copy (figures).

MINOR SPOILER:

The multiplayer maps, Blood Gultch and Battle Creek are back under new names and slight design. VERY KICK ASS. You can honk the Warthog's horn and jacking vehicles is as cool as it sounded for a year. That is all I will say about my short experience with the leaked copy. Can't wait for mine.

I'm looking forward to Friday night now, as there's no chance of it arriving before I go away

That's a good idea. My DSL is down right now (damn, daNM, DAMN!!!), but a Halo 2 Online League amongst thos who are XBox a'Live would kick more ass than the other online leagues around here. A thread should be started in the middle or end of this week. What say you..?

Alright everyone is going crazy in my school today about "Midnight Madness" or some shit. Half of my friends are staying home tomorrow just to play this game. Now I don't have X-Box, and I'm not the biggest "gamer". But I just don't see what this game has compared to any other shooting game you can play on X-Box Live. Actually one of my friends flipped on me because I was questioning it. Whats the big deal about it?

If your buddy flipped on you for it, he's going abit far. Let me explain in calmer terms.

Halo, an XBox launch title, was a surprise hit among ports and so-so games. It's emphasis on console multiplayer gaming was a leap forward and the sole reason people wanted to hook up XBox's. While it's single player mode was great, especially with the industry rare co-op option attached, few games gave you the options and means to have 16 guys sitting in one room fragging each other. This is most evident in the fact that 90% (and this is me shooting in the dark, here) of XBox owners that got the system after it's launch probably did so because of Halo. Another way to look at it is many XBox owners, including me and friends, played Halo like it came out the week before, though it was released in Nov. '01. Halo is easily the most successful and lucradive launch title this generation, and sports the greatest replay value of a launch title PERIOD.

Enter; Halo 2. A game that promises to expand on what millions already love about it. Though it's been delayed, for years on end, fans still looked to Bungie lovingly for the newest update and screenshot like crackhead hounds. A portion of XBox sells can be attributed to the fact that gamers got the system because of the coming Halo 2, and all other games, no matter how good, were time wasters before Halo 2 arrived.

Enter XBox Live. The best console online gaming network as added replay value to some of the worst games put together; imagine what it will do to the sequel of a game that survived 3 years of constant play without online capabilities?

I won't bore you with Duel Weilding or Boarding; these terms probably mean nothing to you, and I'm sure some fanboy threw 'em in your face. But I hope I gave you insight on this "Midnight Madness" craze. But I do highly recommend you play the damn thing with just four friends. Four. Take what you feel about that and multiply it by four again; whatever you feel is your God-honest opinions on it and I can't change it.

Scenario for WORDLIFE:

You are allied with me on XBox Live, we're ingaged in a 4 on 4 Capture the Flag contest. I advise you to come aboard the Warthog Jeep with me, while a third gamer gets in the gunner seat. We speed to the enemy base, I'm wailing on the horn to announce our coming onslaught. A rocket speeds toward and I give the helpful warning that we should dismount for our lives. We dismount, but the third chap was blown away by the blast. The two of us avoid enemy fire best we can until we get close enough to the the flag itself. I'm fragged by a sneaky sniper, but his reloading gives you the chance to swipe the flag. With other enemies engaging on the rest of your team, you take the flag in hand and run like hell. I arrive with the hover-bike like Ghost vehicle and get off, screaming for you to take the vehicle, and the flag, back home. You leave, and my assist bought me an early grave as the angry enemies gun me down. I'd respawn in 3 seconds. You take the Ghost amist gunfire as the other team wants you double-dead, they're even chasing you with a Warthog of their own! But alas, the rest of your team provide cover as you get off the Ghost and score a point. The opposing team remains at our foot step, hoping to snag our flag. You grab another SMG in your left hand as I ready my Battle Riffle, ready for whatever comes.

Halo 2, multiplayer, on 'Live.
