"Should i keep my x box?"

i bought an x box on launch day with halo, which i was over the moon with it since then ive bought project gotham racing and ISS2, my brother has a PS2 and max payne so even though i really like max payne i didnt bother to buy it for the x box.

then about a month ago i bought a game cube cos i really wanted super monkey ball and super smash bros after playing them on my friends cube, the cube seems to have some really great games coming out, like mario sunshine, metroid prime, and the resident evil series, which im gonna get, but as the x box doesnt really seem to have many good games at the moment i was gonna sell it (supposed to sell it to my bro at end of sept) but i really wanna get halo2 when it comes out so now im having second thoughts about selling it.

can anyone help me, and give me sum good reasons to hang onto it? ie new games, or online info etc,

thanks

I don't think so, I speak my mind and what I think. And I think Halo's better than any GameCube game at the moment, but overall, the GameCube's got a better selection. I thought Metal Gear Solid 2 was extremely overhyped, and found loads of faults. The same with Halo, though I thought it was a bit better.

That's a PS2 game I've slated, and an X-Box one, and I think it's true that most people will have their own opinions.

IN one word yes keep your box have you seen the launch line up? Its amazing!!

Each one of those 6 seem to be good options.

But has anyone noticed the BIGGEST bug ever in halo Co-operative mode?

The one that when you have a large group of enemies near a 'load point' in a mpa. One of the players runs in the middle of all the enemies whilst the other player runs back to the last 'load point' which will send the player who is (was) in the middle of the enemies back to where the 'load point' takes off. Why this you ask? Just try going back the area where all the enemies were. Youll find that all enemies that were in seeing range of the 'suicide player' will have dissapeared. It kinda ruins the game. But its worth mentioning as a seventh option to your scenario.

hmmmmmmm

i guess

your

right

Just been reading the previous posts in this thread, and i must say what Garbe and Mants have said is true.

Halo is an awesome game, to make it even better notch the difficulty level up to legendary, Now thats a challenge, but its really involving and addictive.

I've already completed the game in Normal and Heroic mode, but I want more. Out of the 4 difficulty settings if beleive Legendary gives you the challenge and involvement that Halo deserves.

Today i found myself hiding behind a rock, with a unsuspecting group of Grunts (weakest covenant, but in numbers on legendary they can be difficult) so do i: -

1.Throw a fragmentation grenade
2.Throw a plasma grenade at a grunt and watch him squirm as he runs into the crowd?
3.Ambush them with my Assault Rifle
4.Get help from marines, who are currently waiting behind me
5.Take out the grunts one by one with a sniper rifle
6.Run over them all in my warthog

So many choices, even more then them, Thats why i love Halo so much.

I take it you meant Garbe? I will go have a look now, but if it is long me eyes might not stay open to read it all :) if not I will reply yes!

garde me and you are the only ones in the all the foroms :( so can you read my tory in future of gaming chat called Local floridian exhausted after long day of gaming

If Halo was on the GameCube it would be the Perfect Dark beater, but because it isn't faults are picked out (although very hard to find) and then they are magnified by 1 million other comments which have no significance to the game itself, I have been guilty of this myself over the years so I don't blame them, but I learned quickly that jelousy isn't a characteristic that I want to carry though life.

p.s I aren't calling you jelous, I will leave that down to yourselves, but I admit my faults and I have reconstructed my attitude towards life, admitting to faults in my opinion is admirable and is a positive characteristic that shouldn't be looked down on! I would like to see Resident Evil on the Xbox, but I will have to wait for my GCSE's to finish before getting a GameCube, I am slightly envious but not in a way that I would goa round criticising the game, infact I have nothing but praise for what looks to be a superb re-make!
