In that case I am glad that I have not played the original Halo. Everything in Halo 2 was new to me so I am pretty impressed with Halo 2.

I have to heartily agree with Link on this one. The game is very much like the first. I think the only place where those two critical new features are prominant are on Legendary and in multiplayer. Besides that, the single player game was too short and left too much to be answered. As a matter of fact, I'd have to say it's the worst video game ending since Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. But hey, maybe that's just me.

All around, I'm not dissing Halo 2 at all. It's a good game, and I'll play it for the multiplayer for a long time. But I utterly disagree with the conclusion that Halo 2 is a huge improvement over Halo. There honestly needs to be a v1.1 update that adds the features they removed from the beta builds of Halo 2 (i.e. leaning, going to prone, realistic shadow-casting) available to people on Xbox Live or even in an update disc.

Some like Halo, some dont like halo. Both sides really need to deal with that fact and get over it already.

as for updating, consoles arnt really there yet, im hoping for some larger hard drives next gen and maybe they can get workin on patching games and adding features people want.

You know Link, if you're not into multiplayer, you really shouldn't have bought Halo2

Seriously, if there was no live multiplay I would've just rented the game and beat the single player.

not everyone is blessed with the magical ability to see if games are good or not before buying.

That is why god created video game rentals.

Then why did people buy Halo 1 if it had no Live multi-play?

4 player splitscreen should be fun too.... right? Or perhaps a LAN.

Perhaps I'll get it when it comes out on PC. Of course everyone will curse me for that, because THEN it's an old game. But I don't care.

Oh wait, I want HL2 first.

Good man, very good man. I have played both, and I think that HL2 is better anyways. Deathmatch just got released for it and that is a lot of fun.

Um, because they liked the game? I didn't buy it.
