Right, no chit chat in here, just two simple questions with yes or no answers.


1: Is Halo 2 single player as good as you hoped?

2: Is Halo 2 multiplayer as good as you hoped?

No scores. No comments. Just "yes" or "no".
Thankyou.

What? The banshee is a biatch to control and it's not very accurate at all, it's probably one of the vehicles that is good for hitting at other vehicles but crap at hitting single targets. The ghost is pretty good, but again very weak and the hog is annoying as hell and once you've lost the gunner someone will most likely nab it, seriously you need to get some better team mates or just play it more. On Live I've had no problems at all, then again Live is brilliant and we all work as a team.

Actually, it's quite a good combo.

Of course they have the advantage.

I'd rather be sitting in a Wraith or Scorpion than wandering around with a hand weapon.

The vehicles have much more powerful weapons than a player can carry and can move you around a level much faster than on foot.

To be fair every game needs a crap weapon, again I can kill people perfectly with a magnum, it's not too bad when you have two of them.

Crumble mate, what you are saying is basically that because the other team has all of the vehicles so they have the advantage? Bull. I've been in games with SR members and we have had no vehicles at all and still managed to take control. It's not a flaw with the game it's a flaw with how well your team makes use of the vehicles, sounds to me like teamwork isn't being used when you play, because we all don't have the probs you seem to be having!

The weapon variety is pretty good in Halo 2. Although some guns are utter crap:

Pistol > Magnum

And don't get me started on the Plasma Rifle.

I must admit, the guns are fairly balanced considering how many weapons and vehicles etc are in the game. I find it pretty easy to kill most people with any weapon, it's more to do with how good you are rather than which weapon you use, love the rocket launcher and plasma sword though.

Tilta, what kind of pathetic comment is that?

'Blow them up'

Jeez, it's not like I culd just stroll up to the enemy vehicles and place a well aimed plasma onto the vehicle without any care in the world.

There were 'other' enemies around me, ones that were actually trying to kill me.

It's not funny. It's rather irritating.

I'm not talking about one-on-ones. I'm talking about the majority of vehicles being owned by one team. Vehicles like Wraiths and Scorpions.

That gets annoying.
