Halo 2

First off, this game is pretty impressive. The singleplayer kinda sucks but it's still fun to play co-op with a friend or friends. I haven't played Xbox Live but only because I don't have Live otherwise of course I would play it on Live. The singleplayer is kinda crappy because you play more as the Arbiter than you play as good 'ol Masta Chief. The best mulitiplayer maps are definetely "Zanzibar" and "Coagulation". I like mainly the the maps that have vehicles but the Wraith and the Scorpion dominate on the multiplayer experience. My favorite activity when I kill someone (preferably splatters), I jump out of the vehicle then I "teabag" the hell out of their dead body. My favorite vehicles are definetely the Warthog, Banshee, and of course the Ghost. This game is great and if you don't have it then you should go stick your head in a hole and burn your Xbox. Thank you for your time and "Masta Chief PWNS all!!!!!!!!!!"

funtastic

This halo is more better than than the old and my fav. weopon is the sniper because I'm more of a stealthy player in the game.

No one dies harder than Master Chief... except John McClane

Master Chief is back to really stick it to the Covenant. I'm gonna just point out the game's only real flaw right now: the story. Can anyone tell me what it's about? Seriously it's confusing as all hell. That minor complaint aside, this is about an intense of a shooter you're gonna find on the original Xbox. To quote Metallica's "Disposable Heroes", the slaughter never ends. Whether you're controlling Master Chief or the Arbiter you practically fight whatever the Covenant or the Flood throw at you by yourself. The dual wielding of hand guns is a nice touch and adds a bit of strategy to what would otherwise be another run and gun shooter. That, and the vechicle combat and rechargeable shield (which other shooters would shamelessly copy), really seperate it from the other FPSes of the time. This baby sold like hot cakes, and with good reason; it's intense and addicting beyond belief. (Oh yeah, the online play didn't hurt either.) It's hard to imagine how well that giant black box would sell without this flagship franchise. With nothing else to add, I'm go on record and say there's no greater pleasure than to rape the Flood and the Brutes. ARRRGGGHHH I hate those cheap little bastards with a passion.

best besides halo 3

ALL PROS NO CONS WICKED GAME. EVERYTHING ROCKS EXCEPT FOR ONE TEENY THING. THE LOAD TIME IS ENDLESS. IT IS AND ABYSS OF NEVERENDING HELL

Xbox icon returns with greatness

Halo 1 established the xbox as a console capable of greatness. Now Bungie brings about the sequal, Halo 2. The same great controls are carried over from Halo. This time 2 guns can be use at once. This a great addition, more firepower. The battle is brought to earth this time. Going into buildings brings a new level of realism to the game. The aliens look great. The single player mode is very short but the multiplayer mode is deep as ever. The ending with a promise of master chief going after the aliens was infair though. Why could not the game continue for more levels with those battles.

This second effort brings all the high quality of Halo and improves them a bit. Great game.
