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.

2nd Best in the trilogy

This game is the 2nd best in the Halo trilogy. 1 was incredible, 2 was great, and 3 was dissapointing. Get this edition. Way cooler looking box and cool bonus disk.

Amazing, action packed game

Well, here, in 2008, this game really isn't remembered/played much. WELL! I don't have an Xbox 360...I used to, but I turned it in. Now I regret that...but I didn't have a hard drive or xbox live...so it was boring. ANYWAYS! Halo 2 (from my experience and from everyone I know) is WAY better than Halo 3. Halo 3 is an OK game, but it was disapointing in every way. Halo 2 on the other hand isn't. The glitches in this game are so much fun-super jumping, escaping multiplayer/campaign levels...they're great. They took that out in Halo 3. The campaign in this game isn't the greatest, but for some reason I never get bored of beating it. I do agree they needed to add bots, but it's still a great game. I'm not one for graphics but the graphics are pretty good. Halo 2 is my second favorite game in the world. My first favorite is Gears of War...which will soon be Gears of War 2 (OH YEAH!) Halo 2 limited edition just comes with a bonus DVD explaining the creation of the game...which I find it very interesting. And the other plus is the silver, metal box. It's not that big of a deal, but I'd spend that extra money on it. The Halo 2 map pack comes with some sweet new multiplayer levels, E3 trailer, regular Halo E3 movie, a Hunter and Grunt sound check (supposively hysterical) and a few other things. The dual weild is pretty sweet. I don't have a regular Xbox anymore, which I am soon to get one specifically for this game! If you get a 360, DO NOT GET HALO 3! HALO 3=LAME! GET GEARS OF WAR AND OBLIVION AND BIOSHOCK! But I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GAME! It's the greates first person shooter out there in the gaming world, and it definetley made it's mark, if not more, in the history of gaming. It is new (well...not now haha) and fresh (like I said, now it's not) and it is very fun, never gets old, and it woops Halo 3's butt!

More of the same

Few changes from Halo. If you did like Halo I would recommend getting the sequel of course.

real fun

MULTI-PLAYER

First of all, I really enjoyed the first game and am not about to choose which one is better. They both PWN.

Secondly, I have some news for you: SINGLE PLAYER IS PRETTY BAD, it held my interest for roughly an hour on normal... and about three on legendary

Thirdly....... MULTI-PLAYER IS THE MOST PERFECT GAMING EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD. A few words, get some friends, get Live, get multiplayer. Halo 2's multiplayer is perfectly balanced, the maps are awesome, and it will take you a loooong time to get bored, around 400 hours. The multiplayer in this game is so overwhelmingly amazing that I dont even care that the single player merits a two star rating. Teamwork is valued, weapons all have their roles, and gameplay is never repetitive also, very strategic.

BUY THIS GAME, IF YOU ARE PLAYING SOMETHING ELSE OTHER THAN HALO 1 YOU ARE MISSING OUT!!!

Much Much Better

I was severly pissed off when I bought Halo 1.it was too easy short and boring.My favorite example of boring is the library wow marching around shooting things that looked like retarted trees.
In Halo 2 all my problems with the game where fixed.It was harder it had more action and not to mention the opening level is Badass.
Oh and for you jerks who say if you hated Halo1 why did you buy halo 2.I bought halo 2 because my friend told me it was harder so me and him made a bet.Unfortunatly I lost skeptical that halo 2 was just as horrible.
if you ask me though about FPS games Half life is king Doom follows close by and then Halo.

Halo 2 is an overall great game. Though, there are some things that are problems. The graphics in the game, and mostly in the cut scenes are pretty ugly. Also, as in the first Halo, the level designs are very very repetitive. Just like in Halo CE, you will find yourself confused as to where your gong and that Have I already been here? feeling. The other problem is that while the gameplay is truley fantastic, the single player campaign is very short. Expect to beat the game in 10 hours or less.
The multiplayer portion of the game is quite good. Many diferent types of gameplay and a variety of a few good maps makes this one FPS multiplayer game to get.
Aside from the graphics, level design, and longetivity of the campaign, Halo 2 is just as great in terms of gameplay and intersting storyline as the first. Making this a mandatory purchase for XBOX owners.

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.
