I bought the pc Halo version last week because I dont have a console system, and I must say that on the high side, it does have some great battles that put you in the thick of it, one expecially comes to mind is the silent cartographer level where the cutscene has your ship and many others about to land on the beach and you can see out the bay doors that the enemy is fighting down there and you get put right in the thick of it, good stuff and of course the very end was a tense moment that was pretty cool.

On the negative side is flat out the repetitious levels and backtracking too much, Bungies argument was "but it would only be 5 levels long if we kept everything different", well I say SO what, I would rather have a awesome short experience rather then a long dragged out crappy one.

overall, not a bad game.

Now for halo2...will it be more fun then halflife2?? I doubt it and the proof is in the reviews for it....

Can we please stop with these Halo 2 threads? First of all we do have a general gaming section where any games other than Half-Life 2 are meant to be discussed and second we have had enough of these threads from people saying Halo 2 will be better than HL2 or vice versa.

PLEASE STOP WITH THESE THREADS!
 
The proof is that Halo 2 is a consol game, while Half-Life 2 is a PC game.

i think the staff here need to make a sticky thread about this or include a post about it in an existing thread.. so at least that way theres no excuse for creating Halo2 threads in this section.
 
Argh no more Halo2 threads , do this in a halo forum or on other games section on this site. aaaargh it will just start move halo2 vs half life 2 threads!

That means your post to :D.
But they must do something, this is even more annoying than all those politics stuff from last week.
 
At least TRY to aim for the general gaming forum. Even though we have enough bloody Halo threads already. :|
 
My advice is: People will always look up to Halo as a benchmark and will never buy a PC because they are not as open minded and look upon us as "dumb shits".

Thats fine. Their the ones who'll never experience the best this medium has to offer. Leave them to their own world. We just need HL2 on the 'Box and see the magazines and fanboys try to cover it up, because when it comes down to it, if the reviews are spot on, Halo 2 is in the dust.

I went to bed last night wht positive reviews of Halo 2 in my head by all the major sites and magazines. Now the lesser sites are saying overrated and early feedback suggest it sucks. Need I say more?
 
Halo threads deserve an INSTANT deletion, or to be moved somewhere else, like a large virtual garbage can, for example.
 
Once again..

Would the mods please start cracking down on this crap?

i come to HALFLIFE2.net for half life 2 news... not to see some xbox whores and valve bitches bitch slapping eachother.
 
where are the people who said that they played the leaked halo 2 and it was "crap" now?...i guess reading the reviews by people who are professional gamers and not fanboys,gamespot,gamespy,ign...etc:)
 
They were rounded up and shot by the forum police.
 
so far it is fun,but the Ravenholm bink alone kicks the crap out of it

Professional gamers?

You do realise your statement has a major flaw...

you are implying that only professional gamers can see how good a game is, and thus a normal gamer wont...

problem being 99.9999999999999% of gamers are normal gamers.
 
Whats even funnier is most "professional gamers" game on the PC.
 
People, I posted this thread just to explain that I was tired of hearing about halo so I checked it out myself. I am a PC gamer and will always be a pc gamer. It was Ok and the second one according to reviews brings a few new things to the table, but overall its one of the same game. Which just go to show how REALLY different console games are and how limiting they are and how ridulous the claim of halo2 vs halflife 2 really is. I have not played halflife 2 but from what I have seen and heard there is not even a comparison between the two , its a embarressment to even have halo 2 being comparred to halflife 2.

Anyone can review a game or movie, its not rocket science, because *gasp* we all have brains.
 
my point is that halo 2 is a brilliant game,same as hl2 im sure is,now can we all get along?:)
 
We can get along when the Halo threads go back to the "General Games Chat" forum or a real Halo forum. This is a "Half-Life 2 Discussion" forum.
 
No offense to the Penny arcade writers, but they seriosly are just some arogant pompous dickheads who bitch about everything...Halo was a good game, had flaws, but was great non the less

yes they bitch about games that I like too
but some are really funny like this
 
i agree stop with the halo threads already
and stop bitching about the penny arcade blokes, they are teh funny shit
they bag out some games i like to, but i always see the reason they are bagging it out and can usually agree
and they're attitude about halo is the exact same as mine, i didnt mind it, but because everyone hypes it so much, you kinda have to go extreme when your dissing it to make anyone pay any attention, which is what they did
 
I also agree that Halo threads should stop now..cause HL2 is out in a week so....Halo 2 will be completely overshadowed.

And....Halo 2 is an example of a game that was extremely overrated and did not live up to it's hype. (at least for some reviewers).
