Halo 2

coryroo24 · 01-20-2004, 11:25 AM

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.

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:

*JameO* · 01-20-2004, 02:27 PM

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!

*cqb101* · 01-20-2004, 02:46 PM

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

*Kid Icarus* · 01-20-2004, 03:15 PM

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* · 01-20-2004, 03:34 PM

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* · 01-20-2004, 03:46 PM

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

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

You guys are all idiots.

Nah, I'm kiddin'.

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.

*Taloniss* · 01-20-2004, 06:47 PM

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.

I thought it was Half Life 2's code that was stolen. Did Halo's get stolen as well?

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* · 01-21-2004, 09:34 AM

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~~ · 01-21-2004, 11:01 AM

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.

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.

Mondo J. Gecko · 01-21-2004, 02:06 PM

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
