Halo 2 Review (continued)

BRAVO MICROSOFT, 2 DAYS TILL HALO 3!!!!
Contrary to most people, I like the ending. It leaves room for a Halo 3, which while on the 360 will have 3x the capabilities of the original XBOX.
I must admit that at first I was confused by the ending, since I was so eager to play more I skipped the cut-scenes. Two years later, I play Halo 1 WITHOUT skipping the cut-scenes. I was excited to go on to 2. Then I realized how much of a cliffhanger 2 offers; It makes the cliffhanger from Star Wars 5-6 look like a Mario game (which by the way, is awesome, but never has cliffhangers). Since 3 will be out on the 360 in 2 days, I cannot wait to battle in the finest graphics and speeds available. FINISH THIS FIGHT!!!!!!

The best hell shooter around
why play Halo? don't ask me. but it's graphics are the best (only because i dont have a ps3 or a 360) and the plot will leave you drooling for the next one.
The good things:
1.instead of sticking solely on the master chief bungie gave a new name to the covenent; The Arbiter. altough the name sounds strangely boring it suits him well.
2.Master chief has a fancy more hell shooter looking suit that i thoght looked like a major improvement from the old one.
3.the new weapons were great and i love the homing rocket (great for other spartains and Banshees!) along with the plasma energy lasts longer unlike halo 1.
4.the background annd the foreground were amazing. tons of details into everything.
The bad
1.there is a annoying glitch where people disappear and appear in the cut scenes
2.The poor assault rifle (what happened to it?)
3.all of a sudden it makes the humans look as if they're winning and then... good-bye earth!

HALO II
To start it is not the original HALO, it lacks the interface and subtles of strategy and tactics. It is a game where "more" is pervalent. More firepower, dual-whield, more guns, more vehicles, more characters, more drama, more explosions, more levels, more and more. I dislike more.
I prefer the simple story of finding yourself marooned on an unexplainable and enigmatic ring, searching for information, fighting to survive and to overcome.
HALO II is too caught up with itself. The first game did not know itself as a blockbuster...it was simple, effective, entertaining. HALO DOS is a hyperactive verison of Die Hard films.
One pro it has is Xbox Live. You can fight your friends online, if you prefer competitive play. The maps are anywere from decent to outstanding.

It's Great!
Halo2 is a worthy sequel to Halo. I was not disappointed. (At least not until the end when I realized I would have to wait for a Halo 3! I am disappointed that I have to buy Xbox 360 just to play Halo3 - but that's another review!) I was a little disconcerted by the dual role play (as the Arbiter, as well as Master Chief) at first, but it grew on me. I love the dual wielding but miss the assault rifle. I like that one may commandeer a vehicle including Covenant vehicles.
