*SPOILER ALERT*

if you haven't completed halo, shut down your PC NOW!!!

anyway, now that's over...wow!

now that's the kind of ending that only comes once in a century. i mean, it's frantic, fun and dangerous, so nothing is wrong with it - and the end cutscene cleverly leaves the game open to tons of sequels. Xbox owners know that Halo 2 is coming soon, and hopefully to the PC thereafter.

so, what did you all think?

The rolling demo for the original Halo was might impressive, too. It was the reason I bought the Xbox. Big disappointment all round, really.

Multiplayer on the same screen is a dead loss!

Have played co-op a few times, and it was fun for a while.

At my mate's house we have three XBoxes, and their neighbours have another two. All have Halo, and all have at least three pads. They're all linked up on the network thingy, so we often get 10-12 players or more on Halo.

That is bloody awesome, let me tell you.

When you can't see the other people on the same screen, yes! Knowing where the other person/people is/are ruins it for me personally.

I only know two other people who have an Xbox, who feel the same. And unfortunately none of us have either the money or the room to buy and install second TVs just for gaming!

True, I suppose. Can't you just wear an eyepatch or something?
