... for what it's worth.
Played about 2 hours last night (Gameplay delivery arrived yesterday), on single player, as I don't have broadband. And my verdict is...
...it's bloody good fun.
Nothing revolutionary. Nothing amazingly advanced over the first. Duel Weilding takes a bit of getting used to, and hi-jacking a ghost is great fun.
Graphically, it's better, but perhaps not the huge leap people were expecting. A.I is great, not sure if it's much of an improvement, as it was pretty good in the original game...
It's basically the first game, with a bit of spit and polish. If that's what you're hoping for, you won't be disappointed, in fact you'll love it. If you're expecting something revolutionary, you will be.
Basically, it's good fun. Sticking a plasma grenade on a brute and watching him run away and take others out is just as satisfying as it ever was.
Halo 2 is a polished, neat and tidy game. And that's what makes it so playable.
Suffice to say, I'm not disappointed, but then, I hadn't hyped it up as much as some....

Just jumped onto that Scarab from the bridge. Great game and the improved Ghost really does pack a punch.
