WOW halo 2 sucks

[Kangy]

Yeah, I loved the new levels.

So far (I just left Earth, started the plasma sword bit) there's been no repitition I gave a shit about and the scarab was ****ing wonderful.

 

[Sgt.Igneri]

wtf? where is the city level shown on all the e3 trailers?

 

[Sparta]

wtf? where is the city level shown on all the e3 trailers?

Its not there anymore. They replaced it with a more authentic New Mombasa (more run down and deserted, and lots more desert)

 

[blackeye]

ya that city level is awsome in the e3 trailer but sadly its not in the game from what I have played so far. Right now I am following truth to get the key back. I hope i get to go back to earth and fight the cov though because that is what I was really hoping for, a story where everyone pulled togethor to defend earth from the cov, and the cov where just throwing everything they had at earth but somehow in the end master cheif saved the day, because of some amazing twist in the middle of the story, Kinda like the twist in the first halo where we meet the flood. From what I have played so far the flood levels arent that fun, sometimes you will love them and they are the best part of the game and other times you will hate them and they are the worst part of the game.
Although the story isnt the bad from what I have completed, it doesnt start off to interesting but the more you play it the more it starts to pick up.

Halo 2 single player was amazing, I am not done with it though. Just the feeling it gives you, it brought me into the game better than any RPG ever has. The clensing party and the ODSTs...damn those parts were sweet. So was the

Spoiler

library, with your team mates on the transport thing and the raiding flood, so sweet.

 

[Kangy]

I loved the 1st Master Chief cutscene, where's he dropping with the bomb.
But, for some reason, my game hasn't been saved ;_;

 

[Prone]

Yeah, the scarab was nice first time I saw it. Seeing it wandering down that hallway. Pete Parsons of Bungie played it live on the release party here and he died a couple of times. It was fun, all ppl in the audience shouting "DO IT AGAIN!!!" and he restarted and died again

I guess everybody has finished the first Halo on Legendary (that towards the PC user being stuck). It's a different game, challenging and all.

I just hated two things about Halo 1: Pilar of Autumn (first level) and "The Library" where you encounter the Flood the first time. On Legendary that took ages to complete for me...

Anyways, Halo 2 is very cool imo.

The hardest level on Legendary was "Truth and Reconciliation". Damn that was hard

 

[Baal]

The "city" level you guys are talking about is the one from E3 2004 Multiplayer right?

I think it was called "Zanzabar" right? The place in Africa.

So it's not in the final game?

We're talking about the single-player level shown at E3 2003.

i've been a halo fan ever since the xbox released and play halo LANS all the time and I waited in a 3 hour line to get my halo 2 at mid-night. Well im very very very disapointed in what bungie has accomplished with this game. It fells kinds like a expantion to halo or a moded PC version.

-Story line sucks my ASSHOLE.
-Ended is plain out DUMB AS SHIT
-took me 5 1/2 hours to complete (normal) by my self, and watching every cienametic.
-I didnt even get stuck on the game once!
-It felt like a huge 2,200 yard hallway with enemies (with same exact AI) in your way.
-Added few alien weapons.
-added 2 crap vehicles.
-added some lighting effects

and whalla there you have it im soo pissed i spent 50 bucks on this lard of poop. Oh well back to some halo 1 LANS next week. (oh and my halo buds hate Halo 2 too.)

They may have only added 2, but they changed all the vehicles in some way. Have you even played multiplayer? That is where it's all at.

Typical impressions for a HL fanboy

 

[Mattigus]

xbox live is ok....well if you played halo PC multiplayer then youve played halo 2 xbox live.

Wrong. The PC version online sucked. XBox Live is a lot better. You don't get the constant team-killing (If you get team-killed, you have the option to kick the shit-head out of the game.) Also, flying a Banshee doesn't totally own anything else in the game, and when 2 of them are fighting, they don't just fly in tight circles trying to shoot each other.

You have that, plus the vehicle hijacks (which really equalize vehicular play) and you have a totally different experience.

Online Halo 2 rules above any other online console game. It's the single player version that has me pissed off.

The Xbox Live version of Halo 2 is pretty cool, but i'd like to be given the option of having a server browser.

Its just Waterworks all the time whenever i choose Big Team Battle. Where's Zanzibar ? This makes Sparta a sad panda ;(

 

[Llama]

2 new vehicles lol, you sound more to me like a hl fanboy that played the game for 1 minute.

Every real LAN halo player knows this is halo 2 is pure mp godness (this made me forget about ut2004).

As for the story line its suckie but the gameplay....AWESOME

1/) Half Life Kicks Halo's ASS
2.) Halos Gameplay is shit
3.) Four Player LAN Is complete bullshit

Please don't enter the Halo forum if you DONT LIKE HALO

 

[destrukt]

exactly, the damn fanboys cam't keep themselves out.

i just started playing on live [on a friends accnt, i need to get my xbox 'fixed'].

 

[Warbie]

1/) Half Life Kicks Halo's ASS
2.) Halos Gameplay is shit
3.) Four Player LAN Is complete bullshit

1.) Wrong
2.) Still wrong
3.) Getting wronger

 

[Rotary]

Personally I hated both halo's. Yet here at college I play halo 2 on lan with buddies. Oh, no I dont own an Xbox. PS2 owner here. I find halo 2 a little better w/ the multiplayer. But I'd rather play CS:S or HL2 or even CS.

I feel the same way. I used to play Halo online @ my friends house almost every evening, but when I played Halo 2 it just felt like "Meh ..". It's the same old same old. I think that it's (if possible) even more repetetive than the first game (Singleplayer wise), and I haven't tried it online yet, as nobody I know have xbox live anymore.

I didn't like the game. I played it for 1,5 hours, and haven't touched it since. It was uncomfortable to play such a bad game.

Pro's:

None so far, but I hear the MP is nice

Con's:

Boring storyline
No changes
Horrific graphics (You can't expect more on the xbox though)
Horrible gameplay (SP) - To repetetive

 

[Direwolf]

The repetition comment caught me off guard. At no point does Halo 2 even approach some of the repetition levels found in Halo, especially the library. 1 and half hours would never be able to tell you that.

 

[Newbie's Journey]

first time to this section and find out that "halo 2 sucks" is the biggest thread in this forum. Interesting !

-Story line sucks my ASSHOLE.
HL2's story sucked imo
-Ended is plain out DUMB AS SHIT
See above
-took me 5 1/2 hours to complete (normal) by my self, and watching every cienametic.
While HL2 was longer...it felt like more of an empty experience
-I didnt even get stuck on the game once!
Died twice the entire way through and one was from a container falling on my head
-It felt like a huge 2,200 yard hallway with enemies (with same exact AI) in your way.
AI is worse in HL2
-Added few alien weapons.
HL2 had less weapons than HL1 and they weren't as good
-added 2 crap vehicles.
Added 2 horribly designed vehicles. Airboat was fun to knock bridge supports but both vehicles handled very unrealistically and pretty weak overall
-added some lighting effects
Good graphics in HL2 - no dispute over that

and whalla there you have it im soo pissed i spent 50 bucks on this lard of poop. Oh well back to some halo 1 LANS next week. (oh and my halo buds hate Halo 2 too.)

I could say the same about HL2...not completely correct...just as rediculus as your post...some things aren't too far from the truth in HL2 though.

 

[Foxtrot]

Halo 2 felt really rushed, and so did the story. Remember some of the trailers that showed Earth in ruin? It was from space and you could see parts of earth glowing with fire. I think they might have made a last minute decision to change the plot, because a lot of the game feels very rushed and sloppy.

 

[Newbie's Journey]

after i have played both, half life 2 story mode > halo 2 story mode x 100000000. ok for the moment halo2 multi is a bit more interesting cuz half life 2 doesn't have one yet. but soon, very soon, half life 2 is going to have tons and tons of mods, me i want natural selection source so much, the specialist source (if they are going to make it). also css is now the greatest tactical shooting game online. halo2 multi might be hot for a while but hl2 multi will be the future.

You kinow in America we have the freedom of religion.
Now there are
-Practices
-Beliefs
You can believe what you want, but practices are restricted.
As a practice might be sacerficing someone, you can't do that.
And somehow what i'm try to say is.

IF YOU THINK IT SUCKS, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF. IF YOU THINK IT ROCKS, KEEP IT YOURSELF. GOES FOR HALO AND HL SERIES. Sure if you want talk about it with the people that agree the same thing, but arugeing over it is just stupid. I've come to relize this.

I don't care who you are, don't argue about what game is better because thats an opinon SO THERES NO REASON TO. I can say, I think Ninja Turtles for the NES was the best, you might say no HL2 or Halo 2 is. But guess what? That was my opinon what your saying is that in my opinon HL2 or Halo 2 is the best but thats wrong, so theres no point in aruging. There is also no point in trying to START AN ARGUMENT. Ecspecially when YOU KNOW PEOPLE WILL ARGUE BACK.

So, if he thinks it sucks well think of it like this. Oh well he misses out ^_^. I also think that if you are trying to start an argument go in a diffrent forum like politics(aka arguing about Big things), or General Off-Topic Chat. It is your right to argue, but hey it's stupid as you arn't gonna change anyones opinon by bring an argument up.

SOOO THATS MY USELESS REPONSE WHICH IN NO WAY WILL AFFECT THE ARGUING HERE, BECAUSE IT WILL BE TOTALLY IGNORED.

 

[trizzm]

well I rented that game and finished it on medium, and it was the biggest let-down i've ever experienced. what the hell is supposed to be cool in that game? no nice scripted sequences AT ALL, repetitive gameplay, simplistic weaponry, primitive concept (ripoff of star wars basically), and less-than-impressive enemies and AI.

So now. why the HELL would I want to go and take the time to complete it on legendary, when the game is just glorified Contra gameplay, and there's never any reward, or just generally cool parts? getting my ass whopped a bit will actually make this drag of a game feel more like it was not made in the pre-HL era? let me not think so. that single player campaing is a total stinker. only the earth missions were remotely fun, and they didnt even last an hour. screw that shit.
multiplayer better be DAMNED good for the game to receive such praise, otherwise people are oficially morons. (oh wait they already are. explains it all )

i would have loved not to jump on the bandwagon of throwing shit at halo, but I actually regret spending 5$ to rent it, which is pretty damned bad.

 

[Direwolf]

I love how some people can't spot quality on any level, either in Hl2 or in Halo. Love it or hate it, some of the views expressed in this thread are just trash (yes, an opinion can still be bullshit), and either the result of incredibly sick minds or some kind of degenerative disease amongst the gaming population.
Neither are "bad" games. They're ranked up with the best of their class for good reason. Anyone who thinks differently really needs to take a step back and consider that it may not be the game that is broken, but their ideas about the game.

 

[Milo 7]

i just fininshed halo2 and i loved it

to bad u didnt get to fight humans a time as covenant that would have been cool.

i dont get it what ppl think is so great about the multiplayer, maybe its good for consoles? i dont know i havent played it dont have xboxlive i rather play online on my pc

but ive seen most of the online maps and they look pretty crappy and boring

 

[destrukt]

you never got stuck once playing it on normal .. play legendary than pro.

peopel can describe hl2 the way you described halo2, it's quite easy. in fact, you can do it with most games.

and with comments like this:

-Story line sucks my ASSHOLE.
-Ended is plain out DUMB AS SHIT

i think trying to follow the storyline gave you a headache.
