Halo 2

[Blade]

Ok, like most of the civilized world, I got Halo 2 a yesterday. After playing it for about 5 hours, spanned over yesterday and today, I beat it only a few minutes ago. The length of the game was a little disappointing, but really what pissed me off was how the game ended. It didnt even finish the story. Im not going to give the ending away or anything, but it could have easily been twice as long as it was. The ending was as abrupt as in NFSU, it just stoped. After the credits rolled, a small cut scence with cortana played and made the ending a huge cliffhanger. This can only mean a Halo 3. Im pissed.

mmm... i was afraid of that... my friend got it the other day and has been spending a ton of time playing it. i asked him how far he had gotten on it, and saw how many levels he had completed. it didnt look like very much and the space for more levels was small. thats really crappy, story lines are what make the game and if you just end it with a cliff hanger... sure itll make you wanna buy the next one... but its a dissapointment. like Rising Sun. im a big fan of medal of honor games... but that one just blew. short game... good graphics and music, but WAY to short, and you could totally tell by the ending that there would be a second one, but after paying 50 bucks for a game that you could beat in a couple of hours? what would make you want to pay for another one which could possibly be as short or even shorter.

Ahh thats really gay, I wanted to buy it and prolly will but beating it in 5 hours is pathetically short. I took me a little less than a month to beat NFSU playing a couple hours a day or every other day...

I was hoping it was going to blow the first halo away but you cant beat classics.

The multiplayer levels and action better be FUN. I think that is the most fun out of all the game. I want it to come out for PC because halo 1 on PC multiplayer ROCKS! Playing with a crapload of other people without having to have an account with Live X box or inviting a bunch of people over and hooking stuff up is alot easier.

Yeah, never played the first and prolly won't play the second.

dont get me wrong, the game had its huge ups and the the downs wernt that many. The game was action packed, but the ending just blew. As far as multiplayer goes, the new courses are alright, the new cehicle options kick ass, but with the Banshees, you can only go so hihg, and thats not that high. alittle higher than the treetops on some levels. Just too much shit in the way to make the banshee actually effective. halo 2 blew halo away graphics, gameplay, and the dual-storylines kicked ASS! (You play a quarter of the game as Master Chief, then another quarter as a Covanant Elite known as the Arbiter, then another quarter as the MC, then the last part as the Arbiter. I have a new respect for Elites and convanant now. The brutes and prophets are just plain bastards. I gues the only things that pissed me off was the shortness, the shitty ending, and the return of the FLOOD. That really set me off. Other than those 3 things, the game was good, better than the first.

Are you really that surprised that the story didn't "end"? Halo 3 will be out on XBOX 2 before we realize, and I'm sure they'll pick up where they left off.

I got the game yesterday as well, but haven't played it all that much. Too busy working. :(

Why would any game maker ut an end to a game that has everyone calling in sick to work and stuff like that. We had two people out due to haloitus...that's two outa about 12 people not at work for a game. (And not a good one)
