Halo

[gunning1]

Does anybody here like Halo for the X-Box?

 

[spycatcher34]

Yeah played a few times. Seems solid. Think the sales shows that. IS it still #1?

 

[gunning1]

I don't know if it's #1, but I do know that it was the fastest game to sell over 1 million copies. (I think)

 

[spycatcher34]

I dont normally like the shhot everything in site games but this one was... fun.

 

[WarlordMatt]

I saw some guys playing Halo in an electronics store. Looked pretty cool to me (the airplanes look really sweet)

my fav mission in halo is the "Two Betrayals"
its a good challenge, not extremely hard, wiiddeee range of weapons to get including rocket launchers, and the vehicle selection is awesome.
they are-
That jeep thing,
the Ghost(a strong hover cannon)
the Banshee- an awesome aircraft

my fav part of the mission is when you need to destroy the 2nd pulse generator. you have to hop in all of these vehicles and destroy other animals and blast away machines n cars and crap
especially when you enter the banshee, it makes for some good air to air combat. yes, dogfights just like jet fighters.

and when you play cooperative mode on this mission? damn that game rocks

 

[gunning1]

I have to agree with you that co-op rocks.
My favorite levels, in order:
1. Assault on the Control Room
2. Two Betrayals.
3. Whatever the 3rd level is. (haven't played in a while)

 

[Raven1er]

i think its silent cartographer
here is my fav in order
1)Two betrayals
2)Silent Cartographer
3)The Maw

 

[gunning1]

Actually, I think the Silent Cartogropher is the fourth one.

 

[Raven1er]

maybe

 

[gunning1]

I just figured out that the third level is Truth and Reconciliation.

 

[Raven1er]

aah..ok

Halo 2 this November. what do you all think?

Hey, this thread is nearly two years old.

When I see all the trailers and screenshots for Halo 2, I see... Halo. Other than the different colored Master Chefs, Elites, and graphics I honestly don't see any real changes from the first Halo. I asked a friend of mine who is hyped for Halo 2 and he wasn't able to bring up any real changes Halo 2 does to the series. So I think it's safe for me to say that Halo 2 will mostly just be more of the same. Now don't get me wrong, that is in no way a bad thing. I can see very much why Halo fans would be hyped up about this. For me, I'm not really an FPS fan (only enjoyed Goldeneye... and Timesplitters 2) so I'll pass.

theres xbl 3.0 on it, new weapons, maps, etc
i consider it "the second book" regarding its story. big changes indeed to some of the gameplay.

yeah, i was brave enough to resurface this thread =P

There's dual wielding, plasma swords, vehicle jacking, online play, more vehicles, weapons, covenant vehicles, new maps.

Altough I consider Halo fairly overrated, but a good game.

My brother ordered the Halo 2 special edition at GameStop I think halo isn't that good but so many people do.

Online play, more vehicles/weapons/maps/swords are all a given when making a sequel. So I guess that makes three real changes: dual wielding, vehicle jacking, and different colored Master Chefs. Anything else?

 

[Raven1er]

Lord knows some of the restaurants around my place need Master Chefs.
But I know what'cha mean. Halo 1 also had different color variations, except Halo 2 will have custom decals. Insignias, Emblems, etc. will be available.

They've discussed melee combos, a bunch of new abilities when using various vehicles, (like speed boosting) and destructible vehicles. (In the original, all vehicles were completely indestructible in MP. You could hit them with six rockets at once and the vehicle would survive. In SP, some vehicles were completely indestructible, and others were only destructible when there was a driver inside.
