Do you think that Halo 2 could quite possibly be the most anticipated game in the history of video games?
Seriously think about it....we've been in a fever pitch since the FIRST Halo came out...now 2 months before the release and we've got the ARG, Ilovebees.com and rumors of a new book coming out soon....if you choose to vote No, which game do u consider the most highly anticipated game ever? :watchout:

uh, yea. i once said this in class, and my teacher (being a pc gamer) just said, uh, i wouldnt go that far.
I told him to back up his argument, and he told me to stop wasting the classes time.
I vote yea, i cant think of any other game that has generate so much hype before this one.

Honestly, the most anticipated game of all time for every console, well, that's a hard one right there - being that your on an XBox site, it's a stupid question to ask actually. But if you look at other communities like PS2, who has followers anticipating SOCOM2, GTA3/VC, or the next Final Fantasy, or GameCube gamers waiting for Metroid Prime 2 like it's the next version of crack - it's all about what console you are with.
I can tell you this for certain - gamers that don't have an XBox are not likely to go an buy an Xbox now that Halo2 is out - well, some will, but if they didn't after playing or hearing about the first one, it'll be hard for them to change sides, unless they push XboxLive more and more with this game. PS2 gamers can give a rat's ass that this is the best FPS to date - because many don't play that system for shooters. Same goes with the Nintendo nuts.

I think it is, I mean, I don't even here nearly as much talk about HL2 as Halo 2. Around freinds...on forums...on TV...in adds! Its everywhere! Coming to take over our lives!

Casper u'd be surprised. We had a few dozen people pre ording HALO2 and dont own an XBOX. Or they'll buy an XBOX witt Halo and pre order Halo2. Ive had people come in that have never played halo and cant wait till Halo2 comes out. Yea there are a few people with a Xbox that havent played Halo. But yea i think it might just be the GOAT.

If anything, they are most likely PC gamers - what store do you work for? Maybe try and take a poll if possible, I'd be very curious if it was against what I'm assuming - I would assume that if anything, it'd lean more from PC -> Xbox than PS2 or Gamecube -> Xbox , just my assumption at least.

Halo 2 will be the greatest console game of this generation and hold that title until we're a year or 2 into the lives of the next gen consoles.

Funcoland is expecting 500 preorders per store. That's definately a record never seen before, whether you're a PS2 fanboy or not.

Definitely the most anticipated for Xbox...but i think half life 2 or doom 3 had bigger hype. Like casper said, each console has it's on big hyped up game(s)

i think its getting blown out of proportion i mean seriously how many threads do we need expressing how cool or awesome we THINK halo 2 will be? Yeah its gonna be cool and all but im not expecting the lunar landing, jesus. I bet it gets hyped up so much and when it doesnt deliver in some aspects people are gonna cry and ***** just like every game that comes out.

I know 5 people (4 ps2 gamers) that bought Xbox solely because they came to a LAN and played Halo.
Like was said before, the numbers speak for themselves. Halo 4million + copies sold, Halo 2, about a million preorders.

I just ask everyone this, what game would you rather play than Halo 2?
Amen.

How about I restate the question in a way that might make sense to you.....If you're a true gamer, you'll probably have owned more than one console or gaming system in your life....with that said...out of ANY console EVER has there ever been a game as hyped as this?!
