i only have 1 word: awesome

the game is goin to be so cool everyone's going to explode from too much cool!

**Squeek** · 07-4-2004, 12:23 PM

I hated the first and thus have no incentive to purchase a sequel.

On the other hand, Half-Life 2 could be $150 and I'd still buy it.

The first one didn't impress me enough.

GuidoHunter · 07-4-2004, 12:28 PM

Holy goddamn, it's going to be the best twentieth birthday present ever. I loved the first one and still play competitively, but this one is just going to blow the first out of the water. It is soooooo preordered. Whenever I open up that case, I'm expecting a large boot on a spring to pop out and kick me in the face. No lie, I want this game.

I might want it. Not as much as HL2, though.

Or Gothic 3.

Or Die Nacht des Raben.

I didn't really like Halo that much. I don't see why the game is so revered - there really isn't anything in it that hadn't been done before in a better way.

Not to mention that I don't even have an Xbox, and have never had a good reason to get one.

Google -> Bungie -> Halo 2

I think it looks much nicer than most games I see.

Thats a download site for the Gameplay Video found in the audio/video section of that website.

The only proper way to describe this game is: Goddamned sexy.

Yeah it has good graphics... but it's just another FPS to add to the pile. Halo wasn't anything special, and Halo 2 looks like the exact same thing, but with dual-wielding.

Jam930 · 07-4-2004, 01:36 PM

Well if people like it and have fun, what's the problem? Aren't most games like copies of previous.

Strategy... adventure...
... and the other kinds.

**Moogy** · 07-4-2004, 01:38 PM

Yeah, but most games add something new to the genre.

FPSes just copy off of every other FPS.

Except for Metroid Prime. I have to thank Retro for not making MP a lame, generic FPS like every other FPS on the market today.

QreepyBORIS · 07-4-2004, 02:17 PM

JKII was pretty original. In my opinion.

GuidoHunter · 07-4-2004, 02:45 PM

Halo was plenty innovative. No other FPS had a good vehicle system, such an emphasis on the pistol, a wonderful close-combat and grenade system, and slow, methodical gameplay like Halo. Obviously, since it's a sequel, Halo 2 will be like the original, but there a whole lot more than just dual-wielding. All the weapons have been completely revamped, vehicles are new destructible, there's a new melee attack system, just to name the ones on the top of my head. Halo is based more on strategy than any other FPS I've seen, and Halo 2 will far exceed Halo in that department.

Metroid Prime was allowed to be such a great FPS because there was no multiplayer intent. They could do whatever the hell they wanted and adapt the single player mode to Samus, but they would have had to redo the game for player-player competitions. I don't meant to knock MP, as it was a wonderful game, but that's why you're able to set it aside from all other FPS's.

I don't see why people get freaked out about Halo, or Halo 2. They are only just video games after all, and some people get way too involved. I do like Halo, but im not extremely excited about it. HL 2 got me mad tho, production was delayed due to a source code theft.

Express · 07-4-2004, 08:14 PM

Halo 2 some were talking about half life 2 well the first one wasnt special at all 2 doesnt seem very great at all either i dont know why people like that so much just like the final fantasu series.
