"OFFICIAL HALO 2 THREAD"

Sorry but i'm p***ed off at Halo 2 littering the Xbox forum. So i'm making yet another one (sorry) which will be used for everything Halo 2 related such as:

Halo 2 Questions
Any Halo 2 Links
General Halo 2 chat
Your Opinions on the game
You can even set up Xbox Live games with people when the game hits the shelves (whooppee)

And I will post any and all current info on Halo 2

P.S. Please use this as the main HALO 2 TOPIC forum so hundreds of 'halo' thread don't clog up the, erm 'wonderful' Xbox forum

Danke

There we go :) although it'll get silly if everyone has to do it, maybe a thread for people who have actually played the game to talk about it.

Methinks you should put a spoiler warning in that post for the people who don't want SECRETS revealed.

NOT PLAYED THE GAME YET? DO NOT READ THIS POST OR OTHER THREADS REGARDING HALO 2 AFTER RELEASE DATE OTHERWISE YOUR ENJOYMENT WILL BE RUINED BY PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THE GAME - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Okay me and my brother just finished playing coop, i think we were playing for almost 6 hours. We got very far, I guess it's a change when you switch to the bad guys as well. Though still tough as you're shooting your own kind. After 4 hours you do get a little bored doing the same thing, blasting 100s aliens doesnt seem so fun after awhile. That and the game gets so dark you can easily get lost or get stuck and not realise what to do to proceed.

I'm off to sleep now my brother only has about 7 hours to get some sleep before he goes off to work.

Best to buy the game in the morning rather than mess up your sleeping pattern :P

My advice to those who want it, try using long range weapons get rid of most before hard, the old chuck a grenade and leg it works still, try to steal vehicles any chance you get. If your enemy isnt an alien/human/machine then use a shotgun to their head and make sure it's dead. All those lazers you blast will have no affect. Oh and swords are very powerful aslong as your allies dont get in the way. Use them when you can rather than using guns all the time.

edit : so yeah downside a lot of the maps seemed the same, far too open, i did enjoy fighting in the cramped pathways on spaceships and amongst the trees. But if you're playing it for so many hours it just gets 'meh' I want something different, on a beach or, in a forest, or in a building, or city, something different.

So I'm guessing the Flood do in fact return then - every other enemy in Halo was a generic Covenant. Flood were the only 'different' enemies.

we'll see! But I'm gonna go to sleep in a corss position!

You're holding your nuts and crossing your fingers at the same time?

Wouldn't be suprised if you're forever talking in choir boy like tones for the rest of your life, if you do that all night.

I just watched the final countdown, but the timer's gone to "-1 Days 23 Hrs 59 Mins 27 Secs" when it reached '0' I don't get it :-S

Halo 2 has landed, but I won't be able to play it until firday/saturday. If it arrives tommorow I will jump for joy. I'm holding my nuts, crossing my fingers and doing some prayers. We'll see.


I hate everyone who has the game until I have it in my hands ;-)

Yeah but nothing to bad, but its getting more noticeable because everyone talks about the reptitiveness in Halo, but game is top-notch so far, some really wierd plot twists and a awful explanation of the return of some enemies but the graphics and gameplay are amazing.

Had a few hours on Multiplayer with a mate and the maps are really good, especially when your running around with an Energy Sword. Wooooo. Hopefully some of you will be on for LIVE tomorrow afternoon.

Good, yet bad.

Just samey textures/walls etc?

I meant the repetitve levels are not as bad as the Library from Halo. Just some similar things
