SR sending off my Halo 2 + Live pack.

Yes, I know I'm behind everyone else, but it's amazing I'm getting it at all.

Now all I need to do is find time to play on it and find a TV to link it up to Live in my study. And, no, I can't afford a wireless connection.

Still, I would recommend this pack for anyone without both Halo 2 and Live yet, £49.99 for both together. It's fast disappearing though...

Exactly - fixed the faults of the first game, and people hate it!

Halo 1 wasn't genius. Halo 2 wasn't either.

But why do people hate H2 so much? 'Oh it's so crap'. But it isn't....quite obviously, it's a great game. Online it's miles better yes, but I laugh at people who whine about it being awful, when it quite clearly isn't, it just isn't what we/it wanted/should it to/of (of) been.

If you see.

Nah, there was nothing in the slightest genius about the first game.

Impressive outdoors sections and cool vehicles, but the rest of the single player was rubbish.

Halo 2 Live RULES. End of! Capture The Flag's one of my favourite on Zanzibar. I'm really good at getting the flag :-)

It's annoying playing people online who don't have a headset. Games like RS3 especially, you know? It's a game you need to communicate in. Some people who have a headset don't even talk, it's so annoying!

That makes about as much sense as Michael Jackson being in charge of a Creche...

Halo 2 Single Player is still 10 times better than most other FPS games out there and the multi-player online rocks (which is a pity as I still haven't got a TV in my study to connect it up and have to rely on playing on someone else's live account).

But the first game was pure genius. Halo 2 improved on that genius... but took the original genius away, thus making it crap.

The single player's pretty cack, but I can't imagine how people who loved the first game can think this.

It's a hell of a lot more varied and intresting than the first game was in single player.

It's not as bad as everyone says it is, more it's a disappointment.

Live is brilliance though.
