it was, gamestop was usin the french version on xbox as a demo while i was there.
the game is perfect. i wont give away any plot points (all i know is where the first level is based anyway), but i will tell about weapons and gameplay.
1.best weapon is the combat rifle, the covie carbine is very close thoogh
2.swords are SO MUCH FUN
3.dual weilding is amazing, but at close range, drop one gun and whack
4.grenades are VERY realistic (ever play americas army?)
5.gameplay in general is beyong belief

well, sorry, cause there is no game like it. it stands out on its own, way up on its own level of gameplay. the second one has graphics that more then just rival doomIIIs, gameplay that isnt even comparable to anything ive EVER heard of, a wonderful arsenal of weapons (but you can only carry 2, so its realistic) physics is insane this time around, and its challenging as hell (the multiplayer is good enough to make just about any game ever made feel ashamed of the lack of exquisitness in detail in the levels. oh, yeah, about the 2 weapon thing, thats if you dont dual weild (you cant really keep the third weapon though, when you switch to your other weapon you drop the third) dont play it on pc btw.

or go to the site........watch a few of the movies. halo2 owns halo1 many times over, and i bought an xbox for the sole reason of being able to play halo1 pretty much

So is it some kind of Counter Strike ? type ?

SWORDS ARE SO MUCH FUN. if you read about them you know about the one hit kill thing that sends them flying like 40 feet. do that to someone against a wall, and because of rag doll physics, thay just crash into it (if only the wall could break:)) it is perfect, nothing, and i mean NOTHING that i saw was bad, or even not that great looking, it really was PERFECT (and i have a critical eye for those kind of things)

CdocZ
11-06-2004, 03:06 PM
kind of like counterstrike. not completly, its a bit too on its own for that. but yeah, i guess. slick, do you have an xbox?

SlickHolden
11-06-2004, 03:08 PM
Nah just the old ps1 and the PC, But i think i might grab the first and have a play:D

CdocZ
11-06-2004, 03:11 PM
dont play halo1 on pc. especially the demo for it. pc isnt as social, and you cant do any of the cool tricks you can do with the controller. seriously tho, halo1 and halo2 are worth a used xbox (i see them around for under 130)

SlickHolden
11-06-2004, 03:16 PM
I owuldn't grab one for one game it's the same thing that holds me back from a ps2 i love the Gran turismo but everything else i like is also on pc, And i'm thinking i would be nuts to grab a ps2 just for GT:D And i spend to much on the pc to be honest it keeps me wallet low:p

I have been to one around the corner thats where i played counter strike, I went with my nephew he was 16 @ the time all the teenagers in there i felt old well i was to them 26:D
I was nerves then i started to kick there buts and they said to my nephew, Hey how come you bring the olds:p First time playing it i came 3rd outta 20 not bad:D

halo 2 is withought doubt a stellar game, but it is by no means perfect, i found some of the maps too large, meaning i had to walk a long way some of the time to get places. Anyhow it is the closest to a perfect game ive seen and played, but beware Half- Life 2 will topple H2 graphics probably and im guessing the single player will be a tad more in depth. However, its Halo 2's multiplayer will sweep the floor with all competitiors, because of all the fanboyz, CounterStrike Source may reamin the most popullated mulitplayer game, but the BEST will be Halo 2, it seems so fun, all the vehicles, CTF!!! and the Zanzibar map is the new Blood Gulch, trust me, each level, well most multiplayer maps have secrets that can be activated ie. doors, brridges etc.

Damn i cant wait, the game is no near to perfection, lol goodbye PS2 and gamecube :D

CdocZ
11-06-2004, 07:35 PM
the large halo2 maps are meant for 16 person games.....how many people did you have? (also, were there vehicles) and, how did you play it?

i was playing the single player campaign, the levels are on a massive scale.

Yeah I reckon Sony are quaking in their boots for fear of one game dominating the entire videogame market...

My prediction is that Halo2 will sit at the top of the charts for ages from all the Xbox owners sick of shit games finally being able to get one that's decent that they can show off. GTA SA will probably sit at number 2 for a while, and as usual Sony will have about 6 or 7 games in the top 10, compared to the Xbox's usual amount of 2 or 3

i rekon, lol thier jealous of Halo2, and Half - life 2, and Doom3, theyll all be on Xbox.

halo2 has already been #1 for over 2 months, kinda funny since its not out. then gta s/a came out and was on top for a week, then halo2 came back up.
i was playing the single player campaign, the levels are on a massive scale. oooooooh. yeah, the single player levels are pretty massive, and it can be annoying. i thought you meant multi

So you have only 1 game :confused:

For about a year or so yes, GT3 was my only ps2 game, i just recently bought Acecombat5, but still, i did by it for the sole purpose to play GT3. All my other games i get for Gamecube, because i've had that longer than my ps2, i have 10 or so games for gc.

wow.....now that halo2 has been out for a bit, and ive been able to do some single, and really explore the finer aspects of the game (pickup video gaming doesnt work too well, unless youve played the game before), ive realized just how awesome this game is. nothing i would change, except make it virtual reality so you could do any moves or whatever you wanted and make the blood effects ultra realistic (ever play a gta game?)

Great game and very entertaining but, It doesn't even compare to games like Unreal Tournement on the computer. I give the game a 4 out of 5. Also its nice to see they made it Xbox Live compatible, its a lot of fun playing folks around the world.

It's not bad, but I really don't see what's so great about it. Graphics and environment, yes they are really good, but controles, story, and what not aren't all that speacial. Heck, GoldenEye 007 on the nintendo 64 had better weapon aiming mechanisms.

I just have a hard time getting used to using the left joystick to move around.... before I used the arrow thumb pad.. AND.. I hate that the maps are SO huge.. I just have to play it more and then I'll know my way around much better. I just like to whomp on people.. I don't like losing.. :(

ive just rented a PS2 game called "KillZone" the single player missions kick halo 2's butt IMO, ive completed halo 2 many times, all difficultys, it was only a challenge because of my style of fighting..

killzone is amazing in single player, its so realistic about everything, you put your gun AWAY to climb ladders and you cant shoot whilst climbing, you have feet! and hands that grab ladders, and the sounds outclass halo 2 by so far its amusing, the AI work together as a team, and learn what works against your style of fighting, so i have since changed my styles many times over, there is a sprint feature, and mele attack, and many more. the guns are much funner to use then in Halo or Halo 2.

CdocZ
12-07-2004, 07:25 PM
iave played killzone, it does have an insane single. but after you beat it the first time, the games more or less worthless

um......your xbox must be retarded or something. in halo1 (on legendary only this happened), they were using the craziest tactics ive ever seen. they would frequently trap me and then rape me to death with violent streams of plasma from at least 2 directioncs, more commonly 3. and actually learning? well, i usually didnt give them much chance to learn (poor guys, they miss their heads) but they would try coming from one direction, or one tactic, and if i lived and pushed them back, they would immediatly try something else.
