I want a copy but i am not going to bother picking it yet because i am not staying at my house so i don't have a high speed connection.
I have also heard that connecting to Live is miserable.

God damn this game is cool.  I spent all night playing it instead of sleeping.  You can play more than 2 player coop.  Now I'm just waiting for school to be over so I can play 3 player coop.

Oh man, I haven't been able to stop playing this.  Me and 3 of my other friends have been playing this non-stop since yesterday.  One of my friends is even going so far as to buy an X Box, Halo 2, X Box live, the Halo headset, and that FPS coontroller they released a while ago just because of this game.  We haven't even gone on live yet because we are all still getting used to the new maps.  What a great game.

Dont worry , everybody else online is still getting used to them as well Wink

The only wait is when you are in the "lobby" doing an optisearch for a game. Other than that , I didnt experience any lag during game play  |D

I am a level 2 at the moment and getting close to level 3. Last night I played with a guy who was level 9 allready Shocked

What is with the levels? All the kids i know told me they are level 4's. What is it the more matches you play in and win the higher your level goes up?

Why do practically ALL online games have to have level systems? Why can't we all be equal when it comes to killing each other or anything else that moves?

P.S. don't worry, I have no idea what i'm talking about and refuse to delete my own written words, so just ignore it.

Well I guess you get exp points for winning at different things. And so many more points for doing certain "acts" in said game. I am still a level 2 , but I have not played as much as some people...... My clan did play in and win its first clan match last night !

But if you get the strat guide it explains the exp system.

I haven't been able to play this since Tuesday and it's starting to get to me.  I told my girlfriend that I would design a website for one of her class projects, and then found out that It had to be done by Monday at 8:00 am.  This probably wouldn't be so bad, but I've never made a website before in my life.

Hopefully I'll get it done with before football on Sunday so I can get some four player action in before work on Monday.

Well, I got my hands on a copy of Halo 2 last night.  After playing it (multiplayer, and co-op) 5 hours or so I've come to a simple formula:

Halo + new weapons + new aliens + new story + some new moves = Halo 2

Overall, it's a fun game.  But is it any better than Halo?  No, not really.  I find dual-weilding weapons kinda useless, and really annoying.

It's a pretty similar game to the first, and really, if I saw somebody playing it I wouldn't be able to distinguish between the two unless he was dual weilding.  

A lot of the things I hated with the first Halo stuck around:
-The very confusing and non intuitive manor of which you control vehicles
-The ability to only carry 2 (well, now 3) weapons at a time
-Mediocre graphics (I've never understood why people say Halo's graphics blows them away)
-Crappy voice acting
-Annoying high pitched hiccupping/giggling alien things
-Level design - they are OK, but not good

Since I'm not a HUGE fan of FPS in general (especially not on consoles), I'd have to rate it 5/5.  I would give the first Halo a relative rating of 4.9/5.  I still rate FPS against my all-time favourite - Duke Nukem 3D - of which I would rate 10/10 (in FPS terms).

Halo 2 makes an okay party game, but not something I could sit and play on my own for very long without getting bored.

You're fps of all time is Duke Nukem, and you're saying the level design in Halo 2 is just ok? Duel weilding is far from useless as well but I'm not going to go
on about this, since you said you're not a big fps fan.
I picked H2 up at midnight on the ninth, I'll post pictures of the whole thing soon
as I can, probably later in the week. Beat the campaign mode tonight, but I guess cant discuss that yet...
Oh and if anyone mentions GoldenEye in this
thread, I'm going to flip you off as hard as I can.

Duel wielding is the only way to servive online.
And you can cut through anything if you have your target in sight.
