Why do you care so much about games being groundbreaking? If its fun, play it. I loved Halo, and if Halo 2 is just "more of the same" I'll love that game too. Its not all that often that a game comes around that is truly a fantastic experience to play, so if they just keep it going I'm happy as Hell.

Expand the story, extend the gameplay a little with new weapons, enemies and vehicles... but don't screw what what everyone loved to begin with. When you start grading sequels on whether or not they've "advanced" enough, you've missed the entire point of playing videogames, IMO.
