TEN-HUT space marines!
How is everyone liking the new Halo 2? How far along are you in the solo campaign? How are the multiplayer online matches going? Did you buy the "Special Edition" tin box? So, without spoiling too much for the people who haven't purchased the new game or the ones who aren't very far along yet, what does everyone think about it? Me... So far, I love it. The new enemy is really cool... the new(er) weapons are cool... the new(er) vehicles are cool... everything you love about the first Halo done more! I haven't progressed very far yet. I have made it just past the tank bridge run. I can say that I like the way the levels / area are laid out. I especially liked the opening on ship battle at the very beginning. Small, tight spaces... stairs... actual glass(!!)... I love the whole blastin the aliens off of my own star ship scenario. The (really) long, winding tunnel part was pretty cool although I thought it went on for a bit too long. It brought back memories of hauling ass in the last sequence of Halo 1. I can only imagine this new tunnel playing a big part in Halo 2's final sequence as well.  Weird stuff - I am noticing ALOT of textures that draw on the models a split second after each new scene comes up. Is anyone else getting this? I guess it's not the worst thing, but I just find it odd that after three years of development that this is happening. I am also not sure that I like the Covenant speaking english. I think I would have prefered their "language" being spoken with english subtitles. I did like the way the little dudes would shout english words at me in the first game, but I just chalked that up to something like me not knowing a lick of spanish but being about to say words like cerveza and other important words like that. --------------------  |

I think every game is like that because I have been browesing around sites and asking other people and they have the same problem. Also this game is awesome and I will probably be getting xbox live sooner than expected. My friend and I have beat this in campaign mode offline but we havn't played much multiplayer yet. I also like the guy who does the voice of the Elite who leads the attack on earth and is branded and gets new armor on the first convenent mission. I'm not quite sure what his name is but I know he also plays a part on the G.D.I. in Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun. My favorite weapon is probably the covenent sniper rifle. I think it's better than the other sniper because you dont have to take time to reload it but it does overheat if you shoot it 3 times in a row. I'm really looking forward to see what it is like online. |
