I'm disappointed with Halo 2's ending... *May have spoilers*

I spent about 8 hours playing it, only to find that I'll have to wait for Halo 3... :grr:
..unless they tricked me, but I don't think so...

They relied too heavily on specular mapping and bump mapping in some areas... Brutes look ike cheap plastic toys...

And I felt like I was playing doom for a moment there...

But it was pretty damned cool to be the arbiter. The plasma sword rocks... the covenant carbine sucks. Majorly. But the beam rifle and sentinel beams are pretty good.


Oh.. And how the hell did Sarge survive? last I saw of him, he was on the ring hugging an elite...

I like being the arbiter, though....


And I cannot wait to test out te two month trial of xbox live that came with my metal cased version. :D

it came with all versions actually :D


A lot of people seem to dislike the elite parts though... They sound like fun to me though...

I guess what most people disliked ws that there seemed to be more elite levels tan spartan ones...

I liked them very much, though. They didn't fit with my idea of how H2 would be a logical continuation of H1, but I always enjoy playing a game from the other side's POV.

Plus, I guess being a fur and all, I have an attraction to anthropomorphic characters, and I think Elites are badass. ;D

The plasma sword kicks so much Terran ass! My multi char is an elite, rather than a spartan...

I feel i hav added the word anthropromorphic to the dictonary of the above average SG browser... :D

NH, did you get too much of a Stargate meets Doom 3 vibe from the game, too? I mean... 'false prophets'? *cough*Teal'c*cough*

NH = Night hammer. :p



And yes, if you're so blinded by your hatred for microsoft, then the only person suffering is you. Because Halo2 already grossed over 100 million dollars in sales.
