This game is absolutely amazing. The graphics and everything are the best. Now there are a couple of things that do need to be addressed.

When the creatures talk, sometimes you can understand them, sometimes you cant. I think i found the option for subtitles, and if i did then that is awesome.

THEY NEED A CUSTOMABLE MAP. They need a map builder. Hopefully they will give one as a content download. Hopefully.

Xbox live can sometimes be fast, or sometimes be slow. It's taken me, the longest of 5 min to get into a match on live. Gamers dont want to sit back for 5 min, they want to play NOW. They definitly should have fixed that.

The ending, I dont know if it was because i beat it on easy and there's more if i go harder, or what, but it kinda let me down. Not much play on earth and NO NEW HUMAN VEHICLES. That let me down so much. We were promised, at least 2 years ago, for human aircraft AT LEAST, and they failed to deliver that. Maybe, maybe not they will add that as a content download, we can only hope but that definitly let me down hardcore.

There was some more that probably needs to go in here but i can't think of it now. Even though those things need to be addressed, THIS GAME IS AWESOME. I can't tell you how awesome this game actually is. It is definitly worth your money.

Great Game

We owned and loved the first Halo, so we def. had to go out and get the second one. I can say it is well worth the money. You have more weapons, more vehicles you can use.The only down part I have seen thus far is the tank they offer goes so slow. Seem to take you forever to get anywhere. Other then that it's even better then the first one so far...

Riveting, Sexy, Amazing, Pushed the Xbox to its limits.

Pros:
I don't know why everyone doesn't like the ending; I guess it's just the stupid American way to rush through everything. I thought the ending set the Halo 3 up perfectly. And even though the campaign is short there is plenty of replay value, try finding the skulls or beating it on legendary, both very rewarding.
They made all the right adjustments to the old weapons balancing them out, and kept the new weapons within the ballpark. That was one of the very few problems with Halo the pistol made it to easy to kill people in multiplayer.
The new physics are a very cool addition not to the engine not to mention the stunning graphics. No kidding these graphics are some of the best graphics ever to touch the shooter realm, and they managed to keep the frame rates good for the nearly all the time you spend playing the game.
The sound is so incredible, and I loved the new music. With my surround sound speakers it really placed me directly in the game.
All the changes they made to the vehicles we perfect, right on the money. Now anyone on foot can take out any vehicle.
The multiplayer combined with Live extends the replay value to almost never ending. With the games new game-types and awesome levels how could anyone resist the addiction?
The cinematic scenes are very cool. If only some of them were pre-rendered.
I am pretty sure I covered most of the game awesome features, now for the cons.

Cons:
This is hardly a con but the game in the beginning took a little getting used to, they view had a different look to it, after a couple hours of playing the game, the problem was fixed.
There are some animation glitches when someone exits a vehicle right when being boarded, Hardly a problem.
You can fly/drive all of the vehicles, just like the wraith in halo you can there are some vehicles you should be able to pilot.
They didn't add the ATV, oh well. Maybe in Halo 3 there will be an ATV
Can't think of any other problems so I guess that's it the cons.

Lots of fun, but no big bang at the end.

I just finished HALO 2. It was a blast to play. It kept my attention the whole game. Unfortunately HALO 2 did not have a climactic ending as HALO did. There is a lot to be said about all hell braking loose on you while you are trying to drive from one end of the ship to the other before the clock runs out. In HALO 2, the last battle was just another level. I give HALO 2 a thumbs up, but it lacks the big bang ending.

Good, not THAT good.

This is a solid game, a bit better than the first one, but not the ground breaking game all the hype may have led you to believe. It's not quite as repetitive as Halo 1, but still a lot of recycling of level design. The level designs, while they are quite large, are average looking at best. Kinda bland. I would have liked smaller levels, with more detail. The controls of the game are fantastic. Probably the best of any FPS. The storyline is very good, but unfortunately the gameplay is never anything more than kill everything in sight. But, for all the weaknesses, the game is quite addictive.

Best game ever?

After Bungie's first legendary Xbox game, Halo, their sequel came out with high expectations. It's not easy to improve the best game ever. They did. New weapons, new vessels, new enemies, and a bunch of more new junk make this the new best game ever. The only shortcoming of the game is the campaign. It's pretty short. However, it's challenging trying to beat it on every difficulty, so players will stay with it. But, Halo: Combat Evolved's single player was long and good. It seems like Bungie rushed this one. Also, the game focuses on being an elite too much. Everyone just wants to play as Master Chief.

Besides that, everything else is exceptional. The graphics are unbelievable, and the story feels like a movie. The best thing, though, is the multiplayer. Besides taking on your friends in split screen, you can play via xbox live. This is easily the best multiplayer game ever. People will stay with this one for years.

The game is well worth it, if you plan on playing multiplayer. Bring on Halo 3.

Halo 2

Halo 2 has a slightly different gameplay than the first. It is still one of the greatest FPSs on the market!!!

For those of you who don't have a XBox, get one...

This by far the best game I have ever played and X-Box live makes it even better. I have lost sleep the past week and a half from this game. By the way, any challengers can look me up: DanGoody27. Later

One of the best games for XBOX

Halo 2 was one of (if not the) most anticipated video games ever and I found its wait well worth it. If you are looking for a great story, graphics, gameplay, multiplayer experience, etc, Halo 2 is the game for you.

To all those who get this game, I strongly recomend that you get XBOX Live (if you don't have it already), because the multiplayer experience on "Live" is phenomenal.

The only problem I found in the game was that the campaign was relatively short (yet very engaging). It has also been said by few that Halo 1 was a better game. Although I recomend both, if anyone were to ask me to choose (Halo 1 or Halo 2), I would pick Halo 2 in an instant. The incredibly engaging campaign and extremely exciting multiplayer make the game one of my favorites.
