Halo has been my favourite game of the past well few years. Its had a huge impact on me and what I now percieve to be a good game and a poor game.
Standards have risin for me bacause of Halo. We all have a game that we adore, Halo's mine.
I know find myself rummaging for any Halo 2 news I can find. Today for example, I found myself in GAME leafing through Edge, interested in the Halo 2 artice. I saw the pics and was astounded, but its the article itself that made me want to put everythin around me on hold and just read it. I normally don't buy Edge, I find it a bit "stuck up" and the attitude about it always seams to be far away from what games are all about- fun and entertainment.
I put the mag down and I walked out of the shop. I then spun around went back in and bought it simply for the halo 2 info. Something in my mind triggered and I knew I must read it.
Well the artice didn't really disapoint, it devulged a far bit of info that I previously didn't know. How they got the graphics so good, the new story, the trailer, new weapons etc. I liked the way it showed the pictures of new veichles, there are new ATV including snow jeeps, kungle warhogs with roll cages, new covanent veichle shadow+ some consept art of new creature "Brutes" and others I can't remember. :P
Best though was how gameplay will be deeper but still remaning the Halo feel and not being simply Halo+loads of extras. The info about how XboxLive will play a part and the gametype which places Spartans against Elites online during an airraid all sounded very exciting. There will be onlin deathmatch and stuff, but also online senariaos involving teamwork and objestives. Cool.
I find myself looking at bungie.com, reading stuff because I want to know.
Wantin to view the Halo 2 trailer, but I can't. Wanting to hear the Halo 2 music, but I can't.
I'm even considering gettin that Halo:Fall of Reach book thats about telling the whole backstory to the Halo series. Don't know where I can get it but anyway.
I await Halo 2 with ultra high antisipation. I wait oh just another year now...

I've watched the trailer several times and it amazing. When you think that these are in game graphics, you can't help but be extremely impressed.
Roll on late 2003 ! ;-))
