This game gets repetitive...seriously... I vividly remember beating the first 7 or 8 missions, than taking it home,and forgetting about it!this game took me 3 months to beat! You know why? Because i dreaded playing it sometimes! It is so repetitive and boring! I forgot that i had it! On average, a game will take me a few days to a week to complete, but since i got a bunch of 2005's games, ive been overwhelmed! Repetitive games such as Halo 2 and Prince of Persia have made me think twice about games...Oh well, thank God for Brothers in Arms and the Warriors.
PS: Enter the Matrix took me 6 months to beat, only because i never played it: I was stuck on this one damned level that i couldnt beat!So i gave up for the first time on a game. Just saying...Jughead out
Good, but not worth 3 years

Halo 2 is good, but not great. Especially in multi player. i enjoyed the old split screen of up and down, instead of side by side.
At times, there's soo much confusion in the screen that I'm like "what's going on?"
The city scene reminds me a little of black hawk down.
The movie scenes are a little choppy.
however the story line seems a bit confusing, but still enjoyable.
Overall, Halo 2 is good, but not great.
Takes too much time

4 one thing ithink this game is bad and boring. I bought it thinking it would be good like aminal crosing or pokeman, but i was wrong. U shoot and hurt witch is just not good. the only good part is when mario comes in and beats the bad guy. though it is verry educational and teaches math and and english, its just not worth getting. i sudgest good games like pokeman dass and aminal crossing.
Graphics may be better - But this is a major setback.

Everything that was great about the first Masterpiece of HALO is DESTROYED in this game, it has lost all of its creativity and should have never been released. It has hard hard controls, basically redicouslously dark places, and its just highly over rated. DO NOT GET IT, this game sucks!. The only things good about it are - Being the Covenant, and having better graphics.
DISGRACEFUL

I bought this game for my 14-year-old niece, Annabel, based on the recommendation of the gentleman at the local "Electric Boutique" store. Given the strength of his praise, I would have expected the game to at least function. But my 14-year-old niece's computer couldn't play it, even with a Pentium Hard Drive.
This is disgusting, un-Christian behaviour typical of Microsoft. If they want my continued support as a customer, they're going to have to start testing their products.
Worst Game EVER!

This game is horrible. It takes very little skill. I haven't played this game in bout 3 months and I can still beat anybody that faces me. One of my friends is on halo-pros.com and I can still compete with him. The game gets very old very fast. Yeah sure you can snipe, stick ppl, no-scope from across the map, but you know what that proves? That your a lazy hobo that sits there all day playing Gaylo 2. You want a game that never gets old and takes a lot of skill? You buy Splinter Cell Chaos Theory.
To be played...

I am one of those kids who can't wait for the game. Well, it is Nov. 9th and I have it on my kitchen table... BUT I CAN'T PLAY ITS BECAUSE IT'S BEING SAVED FOR MY BIRTHDAY (in a couple weeks)!!! Anyways, just wanted to say that I am doing better in school and I'm doing ALL of my work right now to have the most time available to play this game NON-STOP!!! I stay up right now until 3 am to do all my homework in advance... SOON I'M GONNA BE UP TILL 3 AM PLAYIN' HALO 2!!!
I REALLY hope (heard rumors but not sure they're true) that you can pilot the pelican as I am a sweet ass pilot and am good at transporting ground troops at key locations.
<P.S.> Read the books, they explain a lot... even though the third book doesn't follow the second game... that is kinda gay but it still has a great ending.
DO NOT BUY FOR YOUR KIDLINGS!

Halo 2 will be the best. The graphics are so much better than the original. Multiplayer is going to be so much better. The Covenant Elite's sword is actually useable. You will also be allowed to paint your character any color. Maybe even a pink elite with black armor. This is a must buy for all Xbox owners.
