"So, your Halo opinions?"

I finally got this working on Snuggly's PC, and it rocks. there was something slightly odd about the graphics though. Not sure if they were better or worse - just...different? The gameplay itself is absolutely fantastic. Watching someone climb into one of those Banshees, fly around whilst shooting and then get blown out of the sky by a tank is stunningly beautiful to watch. Can't wait to play it again.

damn i feel so cool.

whenever a TK appears, and i see that he is intentionally shooting others, i kick in my 'kick the sh*t outta him' scheme, where i'll personally set aside my task to hunt down and kill the TK in an ins**tant. but that dis**tracts me, but i like it. the las**t TK i met left within minutes of me doin' it. the las**t words he said were "i hate you", so i kinda feel guilty. well, he was verging on TK in the game before, where i was sat in a ghos**t carrying the flag, and there was a s**talemate going on, so i hid - and he comes along and s**tarts shooting me...

Damn annoying when your playing in teams and the other side has both of them, and with the rest of their team as snipers. It's almost impossible to down them.

hmm, i reckon halo single player has it's appeal too, because it's simple, but rocks! for example, it's hilarious to hear the elite's voice, and splicing them in the back with a needler when they're not looking is satisfying. not to mention the needler's effect when lots are stuck on someone. the sound is similar to smashing glass, and the visual effect is nice to look at, even though, like other things, it's simple.

a mate has it and said he didn't think there's a co-op mode on it, is this true, because if so that's terrible, my favourite aspect of halo on xbox was playing co-op.

And it looks like MS will be doing a bundle which packages the Halo game, Midtown Madness 3 and a console with a pad for 139.99 from 24th October if certain sites news stories are correct.

Well, judging by the comments the Xbox version seems all round "nicer", so come Xmas (along with a shiny new Xbox from the money given by Momma and Pappa) I'll be picking up a copy of Halo too.

Yup, yup and yup.

HL2 and MP2 (both Metroid and old Payne boy) shall be more than enough.

Although Metroid Prime 2 ain't for quite a while.

I.e eons.

Halo, good but nothing special. Personally I don't find anything appealing about the sequel, just another FPS to me, besides I have plenty of FPS to pay attension to over the coming months.

Its two years old, and yet people still rave about it. Thereby tis expected to be judged evenly now.

Ha. Halo 2? Just watch the vid when the audience cheer when Master Chief gets two (YES TWO! OH MY GOD!) guns. Sickening.

:P

:D

Bear in mind that it was Xbox's killer LAUNCH app. you guys are playing a game that's two years old. Part of it's appeal was that it brought a game type (FPS) to a console in a near perfect way. On the PC it's another in a long line of FPS games, but it's real appeal was that on a machine costing a fraction of a PC's price people could play a near perfect FPS.

Now Halo 2.... any of you non-Xbox owners seen the E3 trailer ? :D
