So, I jsut passed Halo 2. I know what you're thinking, I have no life, and it's true, I have had no life for the past 3 days straight. I played it on normal mode, and don't have any plans playing it again on heroic or legendary. Why you might ask? because the ending sucks. It really does suck. I waited YEARS for Halo 2, and what do they do? They end it with a cliffhanger! And not just a small cliffhanger like Halo 1, they end the game...in the MIDDLE of the campaign! And WTF, where did all the Earth levels go? I was so excited to play on earth, and all I got was a tiny bit, which sucked anyways.

And now, for all of you who want to know what happens in the game, here are the spoilers (in tl/dr mode):

You play as both Master Chief and the Elite Chief (the Arbitor) who was head of operations on Halo 1, and is in trouble with the Covenant head honchos, the Prophets, for letting Halo 1 be destroyed. They find another Halo, yada yada yada, the Elites are cast down by the Brutes, the Brutes become traitors, Master Chief and the Arbitor become allies in their quest to stop the multiple Halos around the galaxy from activitating and destroying all species that can harbor the flood...which is pretty much everything. The Hunters and Elites also join the Arbitor to defeat the Prophets and the Brutes. The Arbitor and pals defeat the head Brute just in time to stop Halo from being activated, and then find out that all Halos just got put on stand-by mode and can be activated by a remote, and then right before you're about to find out where the remote is, THE GAME ENDS. wtf mate. The last cinematics scene shows Master Chief aboard a Covenant ship heading towards earth. The End.

So, there you have it in an EXTREMELY condensed version. I'm incredibly dissappointed in the ending. I wanted some closure. Now I'm going to have to wait a couple more years for Halo 3, and trust me, there WILL be another Halo because if there isn't every Bungie employee will be lynched.

**At least the multiplayer kicks ***.

My hate list for Halo 2:
*the new life bar. I liked shield/helth better than just 1 bar.
*the ending
*the flood, I hated the flood in the first Halo. I almost threw up when I saw it again in Halo 2.
*the brute force. The Covenant think human weapons are primitave because they use explosives, yet they have a non-plasma grenade launcher? At least the melee is awsome.
*the ending
*too few Earth levels
*the ending
*the pistol. They should have at least had a small amount of zoom on it.
*the flood
*the shotgun. way toned down. makes me sad.


I would put a list of what I like, but it's way too many.

welcome to the club. Me and a buddy played nine hours straight on the co-op mode only to be let down by the ending.

[quik]

Did you expect to orgasm or something at the ending?

It was alright, ended adbruptly, but I think it was kinda dramatic.

[Can_Opener]

The ending does kinda suck...but what makes me more angry is the stupid multiplayer setup. All I want to do is play some freaking Coagulation with a bunch of vehicles with 16 people, but I can't because I don't have enough people on my friends list online. And if I try to use the stupid matchmaking way of playing, there is only a 1/12 chance of even playing Coagulation, and then the maptype is some CTF bs...Bungie screwed this game up beyond belief and I cannot explain how pissed off I am because of it. Plus most of the new maps are retarded, you can hardly even differentiate between what is a wall texture and what is a player, and they arent even semi-mirrored...rant over.

[atm743]

well is the online play atleast fun???

[B.A.M.]

well they obviously left a clif hanger so that if/ when Halo 3 comes out you want to get it so you can finish the story

Thats what I thought.

You really have to get used to all this new stuff, its really hard when we all have been playin Halo since it came out.

[PyRo]

I'm glad I don't play those games :)

[Bolter]

yeah PC games are a great deal better IMO.

[logamus]

remember, its just a game. and if you dedicated 3 solid days of your life to play a stinkin video game, you have bigger issues than how lame the ending was.

[trains are bad]

I played a videogame for 17 hours straight when I was 16. Those were the days.

[Can_Opener]

Thing is, it doesn't take 3 solid days to beat it, it takes less than 10 hours.

[CaptaiN_JacK]

When I said 3 days straight, I meant I played on 3 consecutive days for about 4 hours each day. It was definetly a good marketing idea by Bungie, because if you bought and played the story mode on Halo 2, you will almost definetly buy Halo 3. They bad thing is, it won't come out for at least 2 years probably.

And to all of you who think it is stupid that I am making a big deal out of this, think of it this way. I've waited years for this game to come out.

[Will Wood]

I didn't mind the flood, but I think they looked stupid! Halo 1 Flood > Halo 2 Flood

I thought all the weapon changes were good. Didn't mind that.

Not enough earth levels? NOT ENOUGH MASTER CHEIF!!
I was that damn Arbiter for like the whole frigging game. When it ended I was like WTF. I wanted to play Master Cheif one last time. But Nooo.

And who the hell is that big monster?



I had fun playing the game, but it was nothing like I would have expected it to be.
I beleive it was a good game, average old game. It was just waay over hyped... which doesn't make the game bad when it doesn't live up.
It was a good game, regardless of what it was supposed to be. I was greatly dissapointed though, that must be said.

[gimp]

Yeah, I just beat it today. The ending was lousy.

Like Will said, you don't get to play as master chief enough. I wanted to play on earth more. I don't have a clue what that big monster thing was either. Everytime a cutscene came on a bunch of people would come into the room and I wouldn't hear it. When the game ended I had no clue it was gonna. I was like uhh, what happened to my game?

It's a good game. It's just like halo but with some extra weapons and stuff. There was a modded version of halo where you could change weapons, and it had different levels for multiplayer and stuff, and that was probably more fun than this. I wish they had more multiplayer levels.

GTA: San Andreas is way better.
