Hey,
I have a question. How many people have Halo 2, and how would you
rate it on a scale from 1 to 10?
I'm just curious, because I'm thinking about renting it.

i received it for christmas. i finished it within one week of casual
playing. it was a good game, but overall the impact was nowhere near as
powerful as the original game. i also thought the ending was weak. i'm
not on Live!, so i cannot speak from that perspective. it's definitely
worth renting. as for buying... well... hmm.

I have it. I think its just a bit below the original Halo, mostly because the
story-line seemed a bit short to me. I give it an 8.

But JEEZ! Rent the damn thing and find out for yourself.

Depends on if you have Live!

Rent if you do not, buy the game if you do (or plan to)if you do and
enjoy online play.

I would suggest buy it if you have broadband since this comes with
2months trial live. You can cancel it after 2 months if you wish and
sell the game and whatever money you end up spending, it will be worth
it for 2 months.

The game is about online play only, IMHO.

Halo 2 should go down as a big disappointment. The Campaign fails to
deliver an experience that is substantially better than the original.
Online is an ever bigger disappointment though. The gameplay is great
but it is the rampant cheating that kills the whole experience.
Passing flags through walls, grabbing flags through floors, dying with
the flag and spawning back at your base with it...too many to name.
Disappointing because it is a great online game.

If I could play matchmaking and opt out of CTF I would. I have a huge
friends list but when you play for stats you can't control who you will
lay against. I would rather play other games for stats than play a
custom game.

H2 has some improvements over Halo in the single-player campaign.
Duel-wielding weapons, lock-on rocket launchers, no-death jumps from any
heights, no med packs, minimal load times, new enemies. But as has been
written, the story has some twists which are good, but the ending is just
plain frustrating.

However, multiplayer is where H2 shines. The on-line portion is absolutely
addicting. If you have XBL, then H2 is a must.

I haven't touched single player in both games. But i've thrashed
multiplayer/system link/live to death. So for me, defintiely worth the
price of admission.

Don't you have anyone on your friends list? You don't have to play with
strangers all the time.
If you don't like CTF, why do you play it?

OK, to each his own. I like playing for stats about 10% of the time.
I have more fun playing with people I know. AFAIK, most of my friends are
legit players. I have a few who like to discover glitches and I enjoy doing
that also, but I don't use them in rumble pit matches.
I guess I've been lucky. I've only played one game with cheaters... using
the dummy warthog glitch or whatever its called.

Zanzibar? Throwing it thru the bars of the gate isn't too outrageous of an
explaination. Where else can this be done?

I don't know how to do it, but if you're ever playing CTF on Coagulation and
see an empty warthog headed for your base, you're about to lose.

Oh I'm totally curious now. Details, please. What does the empty warthog
do?
