"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

But being able to do that when they're running around is quite hard. Dual wielding Needlers is great for the one that run around...

Oh PS anyone having fun on lengendary single player? I finished normal and heroic no trouble, however those pesky white-dual wielding elites are a bit of a problem now!

Anything works really, best i've found is carbine, one shot takes off the headplate, second takes em down!

Yeah, Chaos Theory looks the mutts.

Halo 2 on its single player merits is no more than a 7/10 game, its good but way short of my original expectation.

Well it's definatley not 10/10.

No LIVE co-op, no Rocket-Warthogs or Arctic Warthogs, no old-skool Pistol, Dodgy matchmaking system which is ok, but you can't pick the games you want to join, so always end up on Langrab Headlong.

Oh, and I hate having to press the white button just to talk to my teammates - it gets quite annoying when you're in a heated battle and you're trying to let your team know the enemy is closing in on the flag/planting the bomb whatever.

I'd say 8/10. And I'm still looking forward to TS3 and SC3 just as much as I was.

Even more, actually

Halo 2 has been out for week now, so what does everyone think now? Did we get the game that was promised by bungie/ms?

Sword, Brute shots. Hell, even dual plasma rifles work.

Just had a great time with creepy on waterworks.

Piing the vehicles on top of each other and then putting the explosive barrels next to them, and then shooting the huge rocks on the roof so they fall down into the middle of them.

Perhaps the most fun I've had on the game so far, would you agree creepy?

2 or 3 head shots with the carbine does the trick I find, or the brute shot is always handy when the brutes are around. If duel weilding then go for two brute plasma rifles as they are better then the standerd ones. If one charges you a good hit just before he crashes into you with the plasma sword or brute shot kills in one hit.

They're virtually the only weapon that is. What were you using before?
