Looks a great game. I think Half Life 2 will be better though :)

Single player not as good as halo 1, multiplayer kicks ass! (Also halo2 has very nice graphical updates, along with new weapons wehicles and abilities: love jumping onto tanks and ripping the enemy out of it :D).
Someone make me a sig :)

anyone here play doom 3? Remember how good those graphics were? Halo 2\'s graphics are better.

Have you played the game? Have you watched the fmv?  It doesn\'t look that good when you\'re looking at it and the the texures pop up half way through the cinematic.
I\'m not racist, I hate everyone equally.

From experience, I know the next comment by a PS 2 or gamecube fanboy will be, \"So? That isn\'t saying much\" or something along those lines. But as an xbox user I have to dissagree with Cirdan here.

Halo hasn\'t brung any new technology to games. The engine is old dated and about to die from exaustion. Halo isn\'t a new type of game either, bringing nothing to the gaming community except a legion of fanboys. If you play halo 1 on PC and compare it to the likes of Doom 3 or any other good PC game, you will see that halo does not look good at all in comparison, nor has it ever. Multiplayer was nothing new, just something for the xbox fanboys to swarm too.

For the best xbox game, I would have to give it to splinter cell. Hands down. It\'s a beautiful game which looks photo realistic at times. The realist stays true in the physics, the stealth use, and the AI. It\'s advanced shadow and lighting have influenced everything down to Thief III (adding a new 3rd person view for a first time in the series). Splinter cell is just hands down the best stealth game, and hands down the best xbox game.

I\'m back.... Perhaps in black.

HALO 2 - 100 million dollars in one day!
 It seems Microsoft is on the right way with their games ;)
 
 Bill Gates:
 \"In the first 24 hours we\'ll have an opening that\'s [more] popular than any motion picture has ever had in history.\"
 
 They estimate around 5 million copies sold in the 1st month in the whole world.
 
 Hell that\'s a record! ...

 Ah btw, it seems Half Life 2 is out yet. Err, in theory, because some stores just couldn\'t wait until 16th September. Well, so the lucky ones that bought it can\'t play until 16th of September, because it needs a Steam log-in before playing it. Anyway ... Halo 2 > HL 2.
 Though, Source is nice ;)

Some would say graphics make a game but I say storyline :P Either way not much for the sci-fi FPS scene. Star Wars will be my only scifi FPS :P

Annah: Yeah, you can buy it already. Loads of people have bought it on Steam and dl\'d it through there. We all get unlocked on tuesday :) It\'s a really great idea for them to have done that.

I just got halo 2, it is sweet, the engine is totally updated and the graphics are better than doom 3\'s, the controlls actually work. I like it... a LOT.

 Suggestions? Where should I buy it from? Ah, and most of the sites won\'t send items to Romania (due to our hackers damn them) ...

 EDIT - JellyWerker, delete your email address from the sig. Do you want it to be a spam breeding place? :P
