In the frist HALO game was fun. But this game make more fun. By addion online game play. And give it more bang by the buck by addion it. And it lay down to what would bring to HALO 3 would be. And even HALO 2 was one that lift us in clifth hanger. It was explained when they bring out HALO 3. And that the truth. And nothing but the truth.

Halo 2

Pros Cons
Amazing visuals Annoying audio
Intense action Poor storytelling
Addictive gameplay Not enough content
Fantastic multiplayer Repetitive gameplay
Just plain fun  

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!!!!!!!!!!"

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

Pros Cons
Amazing visuals Poor storytelling
Intense action  
Just plain fun  

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.

Xbox icon returns with greatness

Pros Cons
Amazing visuals Not enough content
Intense action  
Tight controls  

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.

Halo is back!

Pros Cons
Fantastic multiplayer Not enough content

This game is lots of fun, but too much like the first one. There are hardly any new weapons, and very short single player. Of course, it is Halo so it has to be good though. Amazing graphincs, great gameplay, amazing multiplayer, and fun story line.

Halo meh

Pros Cons
Intense action Ugly visuals
Fantastic multiplayer Doesn't live up to expectations
  Unresponsive controls

I hear it day after day, "halo RULES". Just don't believe the hype. In my humble opinion, Halo 2 is just another version of Halo 1, and that sucked too. FPS games just are challenged whenever migrating to a console. This game is no exception. Horrible controls, poor graphics and corny characters.

The Retarded Sibling

If you ask any Halo fan which was the worst game they will most definitely answer Halo 2. The hype for this game was incredible. People could not wait for this game to be released, but Bungie needed more time... The game was rushed and you can tell by playing it. But the one thing that made this game such a hit was.. the multiplayer. This was one of the first games to fully use the power of Xbox Live. The multiplayer was all anyone played when they played Halo. Even if you have heard of the bad story/campaign mode this game is a must buy for any Xbox or Xbox 360 owner.
