Halo 2

[coryroo24]

I know this is a TMNT forum, but this game looks to be one of the best. I've seen the trailer and if its as half as good as it looks it will be great. What are your guys thoughts on this highly anticipated game.

I know this is a TMNT forum, but...Hey, don't worry, that's why this forum is called GENERAL discussion ;)

BTW, I almost thought you were talking about THIS Halo 2 when I saw the thread title:

Yeah it looks awesome but due to the the code being stolen I hear they are moving it to Fall 2005. They might even wait till X Box Next the new system in 2006 or 7. Thats what I heard! Damn I can't wait till Fall 2005!

The first Halo game was good, but extremely overrated. I'm thinking the same for number 2......

[Kid Icarus]

this game is already EXTREMELY over-rated. I honestly didn't care much for the first one. Seemed like every other FPS out on the market, just in space and you could drive some tanks around. Maybe I'll try it again when X-Boxes get on the discount rack.

Some people are even saying it'll be the best selling game of all time... that won't happen unless X-Box's user base shoots up REALLY fast, which it won't. I really think the only people who are getting Halo 2 are the ones who already have Halo and an X-box, which is less than 2.5 million users. If I remember my numbers right, the best selling game of all time is Super Mario Bros. 3 for the NES, which sold through some 4.5 million copies. That means the X-Box user base has to nearly double. Ain't gonna happen.

Overrated is an understatement.

[Bowser_Koopa]

i do think halo is over rated, when i played the pc version i kept playing and i never found out what the big deal was......

[Raven]

its a x box game, so of course its over rated!

[Massacre]

its a x box game, so of course its over rated!

I agree with that. All the X-Box is about is pretty graphics.

and dont forget the weird names they like to attach to there games

You guys are all idiots.

Nah, I'm kiddin'. :lol: But seriously, it doesn't seem like any of you played through the full game. Halo has the most intelligent AI I have EVER seen. I'm still discovering new things each time I play it, and I've been playing it religiously since it was first released. The story is far more sophisticated than any other FPS I've ever played. And of course, the multiplayer is incredibly fun. I dunno what you guys are basing your opinions on but it's clearly not the same game I've devoted my life to. Sit down with me sometime and I promise a change in opinion. And Halo 2 has already improved on EVERYTHING that made Halo so great, and the graphics are the best I've ever seen on a console. Sorry, but overrated my ass. Heh.

you sound a little too fanboyish there XD XD, jut kidding, anyways, my brother is all crazy about it, i have played it in multiplayer, and a little of the story but its no big deal to me, maybe we should play together sometime on a online multiplayer

[Jo Dawn]

And of course, the multiplayer is incredibly fun.

Yeah. I love the multiplayer. I have lots of fun with that. :D I'm actually looking forward to Halo 2...

[Turtle Titan]

Overrated is an understatement.

what are you talking about? halo was a sweet game....sure there were afew gliches, but they started making it befor the x box even came out...now that they know the full potential to it...it will be sweet. multi player rocks...it's the easiest way to get people mad thet i knw of....halo 2 will have some of the most advanced AI and destroctible enviroment...plus it's on a furtureistic earth and moon. it will be the best game for the x box ever.

[Taloniss]

I loved Halo. It had perfect controls for a console FPS, a good storyline (something lacking from most FPS) and wicked multiplayer. I'm really looking forward to Halo 2.

Yeah it looks awesome but due to the the code being stolen I hear they are moving it to Fall 2005. They might even wait till X Box Next the new system in 2006 or 7. Thats what I heard! Damn I can't wait till Fall 2005!
I thought it was Half Life 2's code that was stolen. Did Halo's get stolen as well?

[Kid Icarus]

sure there were afew gliches, but they started making it befor the x box even came out. Hm... but 90% of the games that come out in a consoles first year are made before the system's released, and developers are already making games for the new ones before stats have even been set.

And about the AI... really, it's not that hard to do anymore with the technology that's out there. All it takes is some people who know how to code well, and tweak settings. Then poof, AI.

[Dr. Doom]

I remember when I had something against X-Box. I thought everything on it was crap. Except for Halo. Now that I have respect for the system, I think even more highly of the game. Anyone who says Halo 2 is overrated has never sat down with a large group of people playing multi-player with 4 systems connected to eachother at the same time. Now, the story mode is great, I think, I've played a little but of it, but the Multiplayer is incomparable to anything I've ever played. Now granted, I'm not a huge FPS kinda guy, but this is the educated opinion of somebody who's been playing games since the age of 3. If you haven't played multiplayer, then I highly reccomend it, but make sure you get at least like 6 people. Having a large group really makes the experience. And this is not to belittle the story mode of the game, it's really fun doing co-op with somebody too. Basically, I know the feeling of resentment you have towards the system, I used to feel the same way. But X-Box has proved itself in my mind to the point where I intend on getting one sometime in the future (when I get a job). You need to be open minded when dealing with games and the game industry, cause even something that you think is crap can turn out to be one of your favorite games. You never know.

[Reznorite420]

My question is this: what's the point of getting hyped up for multiplayer? IMO, it's LESS fun than SP. At least in SP there's more to it; a variety of enemies (albeit a bit dumb), traps, bosses, and a STORY! The only multiplayer I take part in is co-op. Deathmatch, on the other hand, is too inane for my tastes.

[Taloniss]

I dunno about others, but for me, I like the competition of playing against other humans, and the fun that comes from it. Nothing beats sniping your friends while knocking back a few and having some laughs.

Halo rocks. Halo 2 is gonna rock. You doubters are nuts. This game is the only reason I own an X-box...... one of the best games of the Next generation systems.... next to MarioKart double dash...... This game is gonna rock everybody's world.... or totally flop..... The multiplayer alone will be worth the money.... and the Fact there putting it on X-box live.... makes me wanna drool..... *drools anyways* Halo2Halo2Halo2Halo2Halo2Halo2Halo2Halo2Halo2Halo2 Halo2Halo2Halo2Halo2

I only said that because im a PS2 fanboy

[ThirdMarioBro]

Everytjing on X-Box is over rated, because Microsoft pays for the ratings.

Deep pocker = high ratings

I ignore it for that reason. Power to those who like it. I don't. Don't think there's anything in the world that will ever convnce me either. In fact I know there isn't.

[MW8979]

Unless Microsoft uses their "deep pockets" to pay you to like them.

[Dane E5R]

That is one of the stupidest reasons in the world to ignore these games. Maybe I'm not kiddin' about some of you. :roll:

[Dr. Doom]

Yeah, dude, seriously. What about Sony? They royally screwed eve3ryone up the ass by making systems that stop working after 2 years and everybody still loves them.

[Mondo J. Gecko]

Halo rocks. Halo 2 is gonna rock...... or flop.
and that is all I have to say.... Unless someone says other wise :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

EDIT:

Hey, Gwgtrunks.. I thought you may be interested in this bit of info from Halo's official site:

"After two years at the top of the Xbox charts, Halo has finally proven the wise Confucian adage, "All other games can just piss off and die." And how did it achieve this Zen-like state of violent nirvana? By selling over FOUR MILLION copies worldwide, as of the end of December. That's right, and we don't mean four million shipped, or imagined, or promised, we mean, over four million copies, bought and paid for, by actual Earthmen."

Halo 2 will own all. Seriously just watch the video for it.
