*SPOILER ALERT*
if you haven't completed halo, shut down your PC NOW!!!
anyway, now that's over...wow!
now that's the kind of ending that only comes once in a century. i mean, it's frantic, fun and dangerous, so nothing is wrong with it - and the end cutscene cleverly leaves the game open to tons of sequels. Xbox owners know that Halo 2 is coming soon, and hopefully to the PC thereafter.
so, what did you all think?

At my mate's house we have three XBoxes, and their neighbours have another two. All have Halo, and all have at least three pads. They're all linked up on the network thingy, so we often get 10-12 players or more on Halo.
That is bloody awesome, let me tell you.

Explain to me what a Frozen Throne is...please.
Nothing compares to 4v4 Frozen Throne.
What yo on aboot mon!? Multiplayer is wicked! 4 people battling it out in their tiny little corner! 16 people linked up (although I have yet to do this), it's fricking awesome! Fun fun fun,.
Multiplayer on the same screen is a dead loss!
Have played co-op a few times, and it was fun for a while.

Do you ever play it multiplayer though? Changes the game completely. co-op is mighty fun too!
The rolling demo for the original Halo was might impressive, too. It was the reason I bought the Xbox. Big disappointment all round, really.
That rolling demo for Halo 2 looked very promising. It was on Earth and it had a city with bridges and roads and stuff. Not as life-like as Half Life 2 - more futuristic and "concrete jungley".
I played it on XBOX for a while over XMAS (see how I did that?) last year. The levels (notably the idoor ones) were so incredibly tedious, I though the game had gone wrongor something, constantly repeating the same small areas of map time and time again.
It's a pretty game, and plays fluidly, but damn, they'd better emply better level designers if they want me to be interested in the sequel.

Heh, they could have at least stretched out an interesting level. The new multiplayer levels on PC are ace though - more than make up for the 10ish crap ones you get on the console version.
