Its true, this game was way over hyped. I absolutely hated the 1st level. The levels get better though as the game moves on. I dont like how the Covenant speak english, but I understand why its in the game. The dialogue of your human soldiers in campaign mode is so cheesy that sometimes you want to shoot them to get them to shut up. And Cortana is so freaking annoying that I wanted to rip my head off. Too bad you cant shut her up. In HALO 1 the soldiers said cool stuff while fighting, Cortana was cool, and the Covenant spoke their own language. While playing as the Covenant Arbiter though, your alien comrades do say cool stuff. The human guns suck! I loved the machine gun in HALO 1 and I never swapped it. It sounded like a real gun and had a big clip and lots of reserve ammo.

Okay, I did love all the Covenant weapons. In fact I only used alien guns through the whole game. Mostly because you dont have to reload with a lot of them. With the human guns you get blown away trying to reload because they dont have to reload. I also loved driving the good selection of alien vehicles. Basically, this game made a huge leap as far as the Covenant is concerned. There are a lot of cool guns and vehicles for them. But, the game made a few steps back in human department. There aren't many cool human guns or vehicles. And that is crazy because the game should be about the Master Chief first and Covenant second. To me, HALO 2 isn't as fun as HALO. I tried to go back and play a few levels but its just not as fun. I haven't tried online play yet, so maybe that saves this game. If you have LIVE maybe you should buy it, but if not you should be able to rent it twice and beat it and save some money. One last thing, I HATE THE FLOOD !!! They dont die!

I just died from Boredom Syndrome

I played this game once and wanted to throw myself out the window to get more entertainment. This is the lamest game that has ever surfaced since Halo. Halo 2 just plain SUCKS. It should be called Gaylo.

It's not the hype about the game that makes me not want to play it, it's just the fact that is sucks. It's a horrible game. Glitchy, grainy, and just plain stupid. I'm sure I offended all the Halo nerds out there when I said it sucked and it's a horrible game. Well, I'm being truthful. Here are some reasons why it is the worst game ever next to Extreme Paintbrawl:

-The guy walks with his legs bent 100% of the time. No one I see walks like their crouching.
-The guns are horrible for that time period. LETS SEE SOME LASER ACTION. Geez, it's 2500+AD, wouldn't you think they'd ditch the bullets?
-Both games start out the same. The aliens ambush the humans off guard and kill them all and it's up to the (lamest name ever) Master Chief to d3s7r0y them all!
-The graphics make your eyes bleed
-It's on the X-Box (Worst console next to the Virtual Boy)
-It's endorced by Microsoft
-Enemy/Ally AI are horrible
-It's all everyone talks about which makes it more stupid
-You WILL get diagnosed with Boredom Syndrome.
-Story is laughable
-The mere fact that one person in a clown suit saves the world time and time again is laughable
-The same enemies over and over again (Not like the godly Contra 3 game where they had over 30 types of enemies)
-Physics are horrible
-The fact they made books out of this game is laughable and just another ploy to get more money
-The fact that they're making a movie out of the three games is the stupidest idea ever created
-The only thing that comes out of his mouth is (I need a weapon). I mean, how lame is that? Be a real hero and don't say anything (ie: Mario, the Doom Guy, The Contra warriors, etc)
-Half-Life 2 surpasses this game by leaps and bounds.
-The fact that people will repeatedly send me hate-mail about my awesome review
-The ability to jump 10 miles from a Worthog with your sword = LAME
-It's still priced $45+

Get the picture people? Get a lighter, burn the game and X-Box until it's unplayable. Then buy a Gamecube with Resident Evil 4. You'll truely have MORE fun with that than a X-Box and Gaylo 2.

This game sux

I give it an F. Absolutely horrible. Don't waste your money. This is a glorified expansion pack.

Halo 2 is an awesome game. But I dont think that I have ever played the Single player version. If you buy Halo 2... Dont even bother with the normal mode. Buy Xbox live. You can make lots of friends. Level 50 is the highest. You can make montages, too. My brother is in his room 24/7. So if you want to buy Halo 2... Buy Xbox live, too.

Enough Said.

This game is rad.
Especially with XBox Live.

Otherwise, it's only semi-rad.

Great Game and Waiting for Halo 3 to come out!

I think Halo 2 is the best game I have ever played since Half-Life, and Metroid because the way Microsoft designed this game It's very cool and the weapon designs are nice. I actually did see the trailer for Halo 3 and I can't wait for it to come out. I give Halo 2 a 5!

Best Multiplayer Game ever

Like I said, the best multiplayer game ever. I play it all the time, I work in fire/rescue and when we get down-time at the station, you can probably find us all playing HALO 2, even the Chief

Horrid- Overhyped Game

After playing the game with my cousin and reading the online reviews I would have to say that this game pretty much sucked the big one. OMG, Bungie, what the hell are you thinking putting this game out there after we, the buyers, had to wait 2+ yrs to play. I mean don't get me wrong, the graphics, the voice-over and the weapons were awesome. But, the ending? Come on now, I saved up big time to get this and had pre-ordered months in advance to receive the "Game of the Year" please! The original, Halo, beats this one in to. Also, I didn't like playing between the Convenant and as Master Chief. Pick one side and stick with it. They should make it like this: First play as Master Chief then after beating the game as a human give the option to play as the convenant or maybe...The Flood. Oh, Bungie, if you're reading this: Make an ending that the gamer will like and not one the blows.

Best shooter ever!!!!!!!!!

Hi, My name is Andrew. And I am a big fan of halo so naturaly I bought halo 2. Any way this game countinues the story of Halo frow where it left off in the first Halo. You start off bye fighting the covenent envaders that are now on Earth. So yoou get to hide behind burned and broken buildings, blow up cars on the street. (the cars are empty of course). So thats a few cool things about fighting on Earth.

Some new cool things about Halo 2 is that you can steal vehichels so if someone is driving toward you with a ghost you can jump on the front of the Ghost and kick the guy of and the take it for your self. You can do this to Tanks,warthogs,Ghosts,specters,wraths,and banshees. so it makes for a lot of fun on multiplayer. Plus more statigey in single player. and multiplayer.

You also have a ton of new weapons like.The SMG (sub machine gun), br55 rifle, Covenent carbine, Particle beam rigle, Brute shot, fuel rod gun, coveant Energy sword and a few others.

The new drivable vehicles are the M12 warthog LAAV, the Banshee, the Wrath, the spectre, and the shadow.

Also this Halo has Xbox live so you can compeat over the net with friends or enemys. So all together it is a great Great game. I am not the best writer but I no that this is one of the best titles in history. hands down
