Halo 2/3

General Nosaj · 01-07-2005, 04:56 AM

I completed Halo 2 just after Christmas and thought it was great. Apart from the end which is obviously left open for the sequal. But I've heard that Halo 3 will come out in 2006 on the new X-Box 2! So a year to wait and a new console to buy! Why Microsoft why! (for the money obviously)

Because M$ specificaly bought Bungee to provide a killer game for the X-box launch. Makes sense they would use the same trick again, and with a cliff-hanger ending to boot.

Another reason to stick with the PC version. If there ever is one.

I would use my PC if it wasn't so crap and I can't afford a new one so the console is my only way to play the best games like Halo 2.

Personally I'm glad they're going this route, the XBox is LONG in the tooth. I'd hate to see Halo 3 come out and be little more than a rehash of Halo 2 because the hardware is antique.

If the XBox 2 plays out like the XBox did, it should be a reasonably hot box when released, no more than a few months behind PC's Graphics performance wise (instead of YEARS)... and I expect Halo 3 to take full advantage of all the wholesome performance goodness.

Halo 2.5 will be pre-installed on the HD version of XBox Next, featuring an actual ending. Something the original version kinda lacked.

And Halo 2 single player is more or less Halo single player.

My friend owns an X-box so I managed to finally play the multiplayer in this. While it was nice, looked good, and played well, driving the vehicles are really cool. I would say the game is a little overrated compared to reviews last year. Mind you I didn't play the single player campaign and still immensely enjoyed it.
