Reason why is because I dont know whether i'll still like it on Live because I haven't been on there for yoinks.
With GTA coming tommorow, I dont know whether theres any point me getting Halo 2. I probably wont have time for it with coursework and stuff.
I have the money to pre-order it now but theres some other games I want to get just as much, like:
Need For Speed Underground 2
Football Manager 2085
Smackdown VS Raw
Def Jam 2
I think im starting to dislike games like Halo 2, Half Life, all Ninty games etc etc. I dont get games often so thats why I want to make the right choice as to whether I should get it or not.
So, I dont want any 'OMG, IF YOU HAVE AN XBOX YOU HAVE TO HAVE THIS' comments (thats for MSN ;)). I want a decent answer as to why you think it's gonna be so good.
Oh and tell me whether you think it'll be as good as everyone is saying.

I gather you're going to have to pre-order this...
To be so bothered about spending £30 on a game, it says to me that you're either mental or just very tight. You clearly aren't THAT intrested in the game and are probably only thinking about buying it because of the way others are getting excited about it.
Maybe you shoulod just stick to your PS2?
No online Co-op. Everything else you need to know can really be found in the Official Halo 2 thread - or just read any of Creepy's posts. That guy has Halo 2 information running through his veins.

GTA wasn't dissapointing, was it? Both IGN and Gamespot gave it a very good review and IGN even said it was the best PS2 game ever.
Anyway, I dont want to get into an argument about that.
I've pre-ordered Halo 2 and if I dont like it then i'll take it back. Can somebody give me some more info on the Live play? I know some of the features :
- Big maps.
- Lots of team work involved.
- Two weapons at the same time.
But thats it.
Have they announced any other Live features? And will it be using Live 3.0 features?
I'm not at all excited about it, but I think thats because I dont know much about what will be in it.
It really is THE game to play on Live. The amount of time Microsoft have spent designing not only the game but the servers and the whole online set-up is insane, this game will be like nothing else on Live so far.
If you put Def Jam 2, Need for Speed Underground and all those other average games ahead of it, you're quite clearly insane.
Halo 2 on the other hand is one of the most anticipated games ever. It will also probably be far less of a disappointment than GTA San Andreas, because it (GTA series) is over-hyped and wasn't really that great to begin with.
I don't really know how you can say you don't like games like Halo, Half Life 2 and all Nintendo games. They are incredibly different categories. Not only that, but you replace them on your wants list with games that are mediocre at best.
Pro Evo 4 incidentally.
