Multiplayer Takes a Revolutionary Turn!

While the single player in Halo 2 is lacking and does not really compare to that of the original, the game play is still action packed. The creators kept the same game elements and using the idea of "if it ain't broke, leave it", the game turned out all for the better. The multiplayer, however, makes up for the lack of single player. WIth all new maps as well as the Xbox Live service, the game is hard to beat. A matchmaking system has been introduced that has never been seen before. Also, a complex ranking system has been created so you can see how well your doing on H2's site, bungie.net. The special edition box has a dvd with tons of info. However, if you are not an avid halo fan or interested in the making of the game, you should not waste your money on the special edition and just go for the original game. Also, the multiplayer experience is really only complete with Xbox Live service which is sold seperately!

Disappointed

Too short, too dark and dreary, too boring due to repetitive gameplay (and, what's with unloading 2 or 3 clips just to kill a baddie??? even when I'm shooting them in the head!?! then spend all your time looking for ammo, geez). I actually liked the cut scenes/story better than the play. The levels I liked the best were too short (on Earth, outside) and the others were a pain to get through due to unattractive/UGLY settings that ran for miles and miles and miles. And the Flood are just plain annoying. I want more realistic play with a greater variety of environments. It's that simple. Plus, I'd like immature idiots not to play on Xbox live.

Truely Amazing

First of all I must say I dont own halo 2, infact i dont even own a xbox (i have better things to do with $150). However I did play this at my friends house who owns it and the xbox. First of all we played the copertive story mode, it sucked. We got bored after 10 min. and then we played his little brother's v-smile (yeah that thing on the annoying commerical). That was more fun than this game. A little later I got bored and I decided to give halo another try, so i hit the single player story mode. It was fun for about 10 minutes, but then I got bored again. The levels all seem kindof the same, with the same plot for each -- kill everything that moves, then find your way through a maze of hallways and doors. On the positive side, the graphics are amazing (for a console anyway), and the AI is decent for once. If you have a good computer, check out half life or doom 3, they kick the heck out of this game. And if you have a ps2, get gta san andreas, now thats a good game.

I am a 15 year old Halo addict but find halo 2 a bit lacking

Like many I was super hyped for the Nov. 9th release of what was to be the best xbox game of all time. I went to my local bestbuy and preordered the special edition copy of the game, making sure I would get it on Nov 9th. Then came the day I'd been waiting for, and I went to get the game and quickly ran over to my friends house(my box was broken) to play some 2 player deathmatch at coagulation(new blood gulch). After playing for 5 mins and seeing everything new, I noticed I was not having too much fun and felt there was a lot missing. It cold be the lack of a decent pistol or some new weapon imbalences, but it didn't feel right. It is not a ad game by any means, but I suggest a rental before purchase. Don't make a decision you might regret like I did.

I'm also still waiting

I'm also still waiting. Pre-order a week ago and said it will ship it out to me on November 9. NOVEMBER 9!!!!! I can get it somewhere else on November 9... not November 12.

By the way to the kid you asked way Halo 2 is rated "M". It's rated "M" for violence, blood and gore and language.

Why waste your money.

I have both xbox and ps2, i just got halo2 and have been playing killzone for a while. wow halo2 sucks compared to the calibur of killzone. PS2 has the better of the two out now. Killzone is the game of this era. Don't waste your money OR time on this crapolla. Go PS2 in this battle.

Well, I finally beat the single player amidst hours of school work, and I have this to say. The game is repettive of the original and the ending is aweful. The only thing you have to look forward to is another game, which bungie will probably ruin even more. As far as the online stuff goes, I cant say much. I havent been able to play cuz my school wont let me connect to live in my room, but I heard it is pretty good(coming from a meber of the clan I belong to). All in all it is a good game, but dont expect any crazy new stuff....you run around shot hide and shot again.

All I got was the DVD disc instead of the game disc. So what if it was stated in the description that the package does not contain the game disc. It should be listed and sold under the DVD disc category instead of games. I search under games and this thing was the first one that was listed. Who reads every fine print anyway?

All I Can Say is WOW.

This game is so awesome. This has got to be the best game ever created. The special features on the other disk are pretty dang cool too. All the other games never even imagined being as great as this one. Multiplayer is awesome and something hilarious always happens if your playing with at least 4 people but any less than 4 is still awesome. This game is a must-have for anyone with an Xbox.
