"Yey! I got my CPU....I mean Xbox today...."

Cancelled my online order and decided to treck down to the shops and get one, I hate waiting.

So far I'm not at all impressed.....with the weight, only took me about 5 minutes to get home, in that short space of time I had to keep swapping arms that I was carrying the bag in because they were aching so much. Thank god the shops are only a few minutes from my house, i'd have had to get a taxi otherwise. What really made me laugh was the girl behind the till put the console in a bag and as she was passing it to me, the handles broke.

Anyway I got Halo (of course) MGS2: Substance and Jet Set Radio Future. So far from what i've played of Halo it's gonna be a bloody brilliant game, excellent mass battle type things and most of the guns rock my socks. ONe thing I don't like is the bit on the 2nd level where you have to drive the Warthog, those things handle terribly, i just wanted to get out and shoot stuff normally. Small gripe though because the rest of the stuff i've done rocked.

JSR: future from what i've played is gonna be just as good as the 1st game if not better, not particuarly enthralled by the new graffiti method or the lamp post climbing but i'll get used to it.

Haven't bothered with MGS2 yet.

So far so good then, first product i've ever owned from Microsoft that i've been completly satisfied with.

Enough of the crticisms of Halo, just completed 'Attack on the Control room' I think it was called and that bloody rocked. Some badass battles in the snow and those Ghosts are sweet to drive. Didn't even find the undegroud bts which repeated themselves boring in the slightest.

Anyone know how I can get my hands on one of those Banshees?

Noticed in the demo at the begginging that you can fly them, all I ever seem to do with them is shoot them down with rocket launchers. Hur hur I did earlier and the blown up ship smashed one of the soldiers in the face when it came down.

You misused what he was trying to say.

pftt

You haven't even understood what's going on. I don't think he was trying to force opinions. Try reading it again very, very slowly.

Oh yeah. I thought it was a game-type I'd missed.

Snuggly just used a figure of speech. You took it very literally.

A multiplayer map.

There's nothing stupid about what I said, you're just avoiding with another oh so witty remark because it's true and you have nothing to say.

Face it, the rules change depending on whether it suits you or not.



"When hypocrisy meets superiority complex"

Man, I miss IB. Now he could give good argument.

What's 'prisoner' in multi?

Ok.

I have a bit to say about MY opinion on Halo.

I don't really give a scrotum what you all think about MY opinion of Halo.

So listen.

I brought Halo last year with no expectations at all, I brought it because it seemed the only appealing title at the time. Shoved it in my Xbox and started playing.

Woa. It litrelly blew me away, Amazing Graphics, Weapons, AI, And a great storyline. Some levels were just damn annoying (the libary) and some were bloody brilliant (Silent Cartogrepher)

I'd never seen any veichles in an FPS game before, And the physics of them was just so cool! Driving around with your comrades aiding you. Comrades helping you out ect

The AI is superb. Full stop. Especially when the game is played on the infamous Legendary mode. Elites dive away from grenades, Dodge your fire, Instruct a group of grunts to search and destroy. Now you gotta admit, the AI in Halo is impressive.

Yes there is repeated textures. Oh well. Who really gives a tuck about them? I'm much more focused on the gameplay! Although I suppose a different set of rooms and corridors would of been nice.

The storyline is fantastic. Twists and turns as you progress. I was'nt expecting the flood at all, so it was a nice twist to the storyline. Especially doing the 343 Guilty Spark level, That was so tense, I was practiccly soiling myself going down thse lifts.

The weapons are amazing. Yes, amazing. Even the alien weapons. I love the sniper rifle and the pistol, Sniping grunts is so fun!

The graphics are very clear and concise. Very clear. No fuzzyness. Smooth, sleek, Clear, amazing. Dust clouds from grenades and rockets. Particles of debris strewn everywhere. Blood. Shooting a plasma rifle is very satisfying seeing the trail of debris behind it.

The reason why I find The Silent Cartgrephor great Tiltawhirl is because of the "Beach Landing". See that on legendary. Its on par with amazing!

Obviously the most praised part of Halo is the multiplayer. I've played 8 player System link, Prisoner + Rockets + 50 frag limit = Absolutely pure class. Frantic fun and sociable :P

Legendary. Has to be seen to be beleived. Absolutely stunning.

Halo is pure game-age
