this game rocks because frankly i am really good at it. i like how i can use two guns at once and the guns make a really cool sound. my favorite weapon is the needler because its purple and shoots out spines that home in to the aliens and purple is my favorite color. the only cons is i think this game is too easy because i already beat the game twice already.

Woohoo Woohoo WOOOOWOOOOOHOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWOOOHWHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Its amazing Its incredible, its Halo 2!and its finally here on Xbox. I love the new dual weilding. My favorite combination is the SMG and the magnum. And at last Halo has Xbox live. Its incredible online. And the system link. I also like the new breed of vehicles, weapons and covonant. But i prefered the Marines to the spartans. The grapics has certainly improved since the last Halo. And you can certainly jump higher. I remember when everyone was really excited about it coming out and now its ACTUALLY HERE after all that time.
I'm pretty annoyed that Microsoft aren't making any more Halo's. Im gonna miss them.

Must I say anything? This game ROCKS!! If you don't have it, it's either because you don't have an Xbox, or you suck. And if you don't have an Xbox, you suck! Buy it. Play it. Love it.

Halo 2 was a good game, exceptional by my standards, sure it was a hassle getting through the level with the lack of defenses... but geez...
I personally liked this game for these reasons
-Good gameplay, remniscent of Halo TwT
-Solid sound and graphics
-Good story
My gripes...
-Semi-repetitive gameplay
-Dual weilding clutters up the m***********g screen!
-The health system is harder to deal with... TwT but that's okay, Masta Chief's still gangsta...
P.-Friggin-S.- Samwise, you're entitled to your opinion, albeit a very idiotic one... but your misconception of us being "retards" is based off of non-concrete evidence and your lack of tolerance for other people's opinions. I understand that you believe we are, but seriously, go back to lonely nights with vaseline, kleenex and a copy of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", because with an attitude like that, you obviously have no friends, life, or parents to teach you manners that and you apparently need a girlfriend. Same goes to anyone else who rags a game and can't do any better. So to all of you I'd like to say you're not worth being called retarded because poor Terry Schiavo doesn't deserve to be associated with people unable to do stuff with a fully functioning brain, so shut up, and don't blow my Xbox high!

6. 13 BAMBOOZALING HEAD TO HEAD MAPS.

8. LESS OF FILTHY FLOOD THAN ORIGANULE.
9. YOU CAN TAKE OVER VIECLES INSTEAD OF WORRERING ABOUT JUST KILLING THE DRIVER AND NOT THE VIECLE.
10. CAN SWICH GUNS WITH MARINES INSTEAD OF KILLING THEM.
ENERGY SHIELD REBUTES INSREAD OF GETTING HEALTH.
11. IN HEAD TO HEAD YOU CAN CHOOSE IF YOU ARE A ELITE OR A MASTER CHIEF.
12. BASSICALY SAMECONTROLS AS ORIGANOL.
CONS:
1. NOT AS HARD AS FIRST HALO
2. PISTAL IS BAD
3. HIGH PRICE
TIP:
1. GET THIS GAME

10. IT IS GOOD TO HAVE GERNADES.
11. WHEN POSSIBLE USE A VIECLE OR TEURRENT BECAUSE OF UNLIMATED AMO.
12. IT IS BEST TO TAKE OUT VECHILS AND HUNTERS THAN BRUTES AND ELITES FOLLOWED BY JACKLES THAN GRUNTS AND FINALY DRONES AND PROPHETS.
13. LEADERS ARE PRABILY THE STRONGEST.

Thie game is a must it has a good soundtrack cinemas and gameplay it will keep you buisy just playing levels to mess around with the vehicles the only things bad about the game is they changed the asult rife model (i like the original assult rife better) and they made it so you play as a elite all else is fine halo 3 is going to be at e3 so all u xbox live players out there get the multi player expansion pack for 20 dollars (you need halo 2 to play) i think microsoft will make new features such as peaking around corners and new viechles dont think hallo series will end this franchies will be a very long and popular series.
spoiler alert
people are saying the story for halo 3 is master chief travels back in the past to kill the people or aliens that made halo but that would stink cuz it would be like pong a never ending battle so master chief will destroy it aliens will destroy master chief! and all those game he said stunk is NOT TRUE KOTOR IS FOR EVEN STAR WARS HATERS!it a very good game that has multiple paths and it is a hack and slash not turned based
GET THE FIRST BEFORE THE SECOND YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!

I am not an X-Box fan. I think buying one is a waste because you can buy a PC and do more with that. But since Halo 2 is going to port to PC, I decided to try it on X-Box.
Graphics- 10/10 The graphics are so detailed and elegant it is tearful. Honestly, they are some of the best that anyone could offer. Lighting effects are awesome (plasma explosions are cool) and character detail is exquisite. Blood and gore isn't that abundant, but cool anyways.
Gameplay- 10/10 Playing the game is so addictive, especially on X-Box Live. Since I played it at a friend's house, we played 8 player team fights for hours at a time. You have to be crafty to survive, and it pays to be familiar with the controls. The coolest mode is energy swords only.
Controls- 10/10 With the S-style controller, the game runs smoothly and it is easy to aim/fire. With the old D-style controller (obviously for people with bigger hands) the game is still easy to control. You won't have a problem controlling this game (unless you use a particulary bad 3rd party controller).
Story- 7/10 The whole story revolves about this thing called the Halo that the Covenant wants to destroy stuff. Earth wants to destroy the Halo. The story is pretty good, but not entirely original.
Sound- 10/10 The game audio is astounding, and voice acting is awardable. Some games have horrible voice acting, and this isn't one of them. Your ears won't bleed listening to this one.
Overall- 9.4/10 This game was excellent. It is a classic. It will be hard to improve it in any way. I hope that with a good graphics card and a good processor on PC, that this game can be closer to perfection than it already is.
Great graphics & storytelling

The graphics and story are top-notch, but I beat the game on Normal mode within a day at a lax pace. The fun value also goes away at the more extreme difficulty levels as the programmers make it almost satirical in toughness. Fortunately, it's engaging enough for one or two repeat plays.
My biggest problem is some of the controls, whereas you want to use two weapons sometimes the computer feels it best to throw one of them across the room at random. Overall, I guess it's a great game if you are a multiplayer freak, but add an NPC option next time!
