I heard Master Chief is revealed to actually be a 15 year old Japanese girl if you beat it on Legendary!

well, i can just say, that even tho they're parisitic, they're also quite intelligent, since we've seen examples of them flying starships, and pelicans, too..  perhaps like a basic collective/hive consciousness

Spoiler:

Flying starships/Pelicans, if you want to call it that, ok. Landing them is another story altogether. They crashed In Amber Clad into the side of High Charity for ****s sake. And what the **** is up with the names of the Human ships?

Spoiler:

That Pelican landing in the cutscene wasn't real great either.

I don't think the game was really that epic...it was actually a lot smaller then Halo in terms of the playing area for campaign. I miss having space to work with.

But the Needler, oh how I love it now...

[Setekh]

ngtm1r, in what way do you mean it was a lot smaller? I thought there were many more different environments, and also the whole place was generally bigger (which was why vehicles were used so much).

By the way, Legendary is wicked hard. My brother and I going co-op on it can't even get past the first level.

Halo2 was really epic, Areas seems smaller because they aren't repetive areas in halo2

Same problem here. My bro and I have been trying and trying, but we're stuck in the area right before the second installation is detonated.

My uncle is going to be seeing a lot more of me once I get back

Hmm. I like my black one better...

Anyways, yes...

Spoiler:

The covenant Carbine sucks. Utterly. Use the Beam Rifle in every level possible.  Or the plasma sword...

There aren't enough levels with more than one magnum laying around. That gun rocks.

[phreak]

Spoiler:

The covie carbine sucks?  maybe you're just bad at aiming.

[Taristin]

Spoiler:

No, that's not it at all. I find that I can empty a clip into an elite and it'll barely break the elite's shield. Even if they're all head shots. The gun is uber crap.

Battle Rifle>Carbine

What's this about Crystal X-Boxes only being in Canada?

I got mine with Halo 2 bundled yesterday. Kicks some serious mother****ing ass.

Best thing is beating an Honor Guard unconscious with your own damn hands, taking his big frickin sword and slashing through legions of Covie troops while your support's about 200yards behind you, mocking the dead and dying Covenant troops.

Funniest thing I've encountered so far (I'm up to the Arbiter's "Find the Index" bit) is the support banter. I was in one of the lifts tracking the head of one of my support guys and he was like "Could you point that thing somewhere else?". And the whole "Who glassed Reach?" thing is damn funny.

In Halo you had space to work with normally; and you needed it, too, when 20+ Combat forms came swarming at you. Here, most combat takes place in confined areas and you lack room to manuver, which I regard as a bit of crapout when it comes to increasing difficulty. That and the nerfed weaponry annoys me no end. Even in the vehicle levels, you still don't have much room to manuver in most places where you get in a firefight.

On the other hand, the Needler>all other weapons.

[IceFire]

How are the weapons nerfed?  I've played Halo on X-Box for all of 30 seconds and I've played the Halo PC demo...whats changed?

[Thorn]

Pistol no longer has a scope, assault rifle is gone, replaced by the SMG (high rate of fire, no accuracy, nasty recoil, but can dual weild) and the Battle Rifle (scope, high damage, but limited to a 3 round burst) He's just looking for excuses to ***** because it's harder than the first. And no, the Needler is not better. Chews through ammo too quick. They all have their uses. As for the confined areas, thats no different than the first Halo. Besides, those levels you usually have access to plasma swords and shotguns. A plasma sword can pretty much cleave a Combat Form in half in a single hit.

[spaceman spiff]

personally, i don't have any complaints with halo 2... other than that my brother gets dizzy when i'm playing it cuz the bastard can't handle the "3D"ness of it, so i can't play multiplayer with him. and i don't have a second controller.

[Jetmech Jr.]

eh? Combat forms explode[/b] when hit by a Plasma sword. Elites take about 2-3 hits (two for shields, one for the Elite itself) and those god*mn Brutes take about 3-4 hits.
