I thought it was out already on XBOX?

Ask neo i guess, i watched my brother playing through the single player missions, it looked really boring if u ask me...

Had 8 player mutliplayer maches before 2, they were nothing special. Shoot, jump. Usual FPS stuff. Vehicles were kinda cool, but there handleing sucked. BF1942 was a much better multiplayer game.

There is none, its just the big fuss cos at the time it was pritty much all the xbox had and microsoft was trying to make out as if they had an absolute classic. Nothing much has changed really.

Yeah...I agree what's the big deal? A lot of the people at my school are all going on about Nov. 9 or whatever earth will never be the same crap for halo 2, I played halo 1 on both PC and Xbox and I didn't really like it that much. Me, I'm holding out for HL2 and CS: Source Grin

Geez, some people need a life Tongue

Not you, your mates, i cant imagine a video game effecting the world that much. I imagine GTA3 and Vice City have had the most impact. Everyone loves them, if there into games or not.

Yeah the GTA series were great, sure they didn't have multiplayer or anything but they were still really fun... Also, Halo isn't anything new and special either, its just another first person shooter...big deal...

The gta 3 games had their own mini universe. They were something special... Oozed personality and style.

Whats Halo, a alien FPS... oh wow, inventive,landscapes, done before, and done much better before... Multiplayer, yeah but BF 1942 still kicks it ass... It had vehicles, they had horrable physics and were generally pointless, the weapons were usual bland ness, the AI wasnt smart, hell i think even back in the half life days they just to ran and take cover, duck behind things etc, halo AI usually just ran out shooting, and the graphics were, well, adverage... They wernt special at all. The story, u kinda just wake up and start randomly killing things, im sure further through the game they try and introduce somethign better, but i couldnt be bothered getting that far...

I dont see anything special, just another solid, 65% shooter... Just made so big by microsoft over hyping it.

Think the deal was with halo the enemys AI which was cool like when you threw a sticky bomb on the head of one of those little aliens & they ran around screaming Cheesy

& those with the shields
yeah i know not perfect but in single player mode i cannot deny that i enjoyed it.

halo was a great game for these reasons:

good storyline
multiplayer storyline for 2 people

multiplayer with 16 people and possibly over the internet with XBconnect(even though they didnt make it)
good graphics and sound

3)dont most games have 16 player mp at least ?
4)good graphics and sound, ill give ya that Wink

there was nothing wrong with it but there are a lot of better games in my opinion, but a lot of people liked it so there must be something I'm missing

i think its one of those games that you just love, or you never grow to like it but play it anyways with your friends or something. you might understand the game if you read the books (i'm a nerd that read all three of them. Halo:the first strike, Halo:The flood, and Halo:the fall of reach)

I'm getting my copy tomorrow after school!!!

What sucks is that a bunch of stores already sold theirs early and stuff. Like a Target nearby sold all theirs LAST WEEK! I pre-ordered mine from another target a month and a half ago, and they called today saying that my copy is in stock and can be picked up tomorrow, so at least I've got one somewhere. Anyways, w00t!

Shes the daughter of the captain in the first game, and looks strangely like the female AI charater Cortanna.

Anyways, the game rocks! I just played for 5 hours straight, and my hands hurt, but I'll play some more tonight I'm sure. Its awesome though. Get it.
