Halo 2 Preview

**Shadow20002** · 10-17-2003

One game to rule them all, one game to make all other games look like piles of: what’s the word I’m looking for? Oh yes: CRAP! Halo 2! What? Yes, Halo 2, sequel to the number 1 game Halo, sequel to the big cha bang, sequel to the greatest game on the Xbox and one of the greatest games of all time. Halo redefined the way we play first-person shooters on the console. It was a giant leap for gamers and developers. We were all amazed at the incredible visuals and the striking gameplay! Halo 2 looks bigger, better and…. what the hell did I just see dual machine guns!! Halo achieved much success and press. It was evident to all gamers that Halo 2 would appear in the near future. Halo 2 is the most anticipated game of 2004! The trailers, video highlights, and screenshots have shown us, that the glorious Halo has very much improved. The all new revamped advanced graphical engine showed the world of gaming the ability and true power of the Xbox. Halo 2, of course, will have new weapons, new vehicles, new graphics, and a new level of first person shooter goodness that we as Halo fans have longed for since the release of the first Halo. There is no doubt about it, this game looks like heaven!

I read the entire article...it was fun to read only because I love hearing about Halo 2, but, there was nothing new that I noticed...except that there will be no bots in Halo 2's multi-play. Which doesn't bug me at all, personally...but, it may bug a few other people.

no bots? NO BOTS? Halo 2 has now made my festering putrid crappish waste of self space list. I though it was supposed to be better, and they cant even look out for those of us with XBL. Damn bungie and Halo 2 to hell and back, then damn then to an eternal ass beating complaments of me!

j/k....Halo 2 will still be the shizznit, and since i beat Halo the other day i need some Halo 2 goodness NOW!

**SnoochyBoochy** · 10-18-2003

no bots?!?! awww shucks....

**Variation-XBA** · 10-18-2003

I thought you were serious at first Vip

**TheRiddleBoX** · 10-18-2003

Without bots, anyone who DOESNT have XBL will be kind of sad, and the game will not be worth getting...I can picture an 8on8 all bots, on something like BG CTF...It would be SWEET. But, then again, XBC might be populated with Halo 2, there will be more people playing Halo 2 on there than any other game more than likely. Those who have XBL, they will enjoy the game.

**Shadow20002** · 10-18-2003

Yeah, no bots just make me feel a little sad for it.

You're kidding! well, looks like that wont get game of the year. I think Halo 2 is going to get it over HL2 lol

**l Maximus l** · 10-18-2003

I have no problem with the lack of bots in Halo 2's multi-player. Not because I have XBox Live...but, that's the way the first one was...and it's more incentive to get a bunch of dudes together for System Link gaming. I prefer it that way because that's one of the things that made Halo so amazing...it's the experience with bros, no hoes, and brew in rows and rows

**RenoXG** · 10-18-2003

my favourite description of Halo 2:

"Halo 2 is a lot like Halo, only it's Halo on fire, going 130 miles per hour through a hospital zone, being chased by helicopters and ninjas," explained Jason Jones, head of Bungie Studios. "And the ninjas are all on fire, too."

**TheRiddleBoX** · 10-18-2003

yea, but bots keep the game FRESH. Like Counter-Strike... Let's say your internet goes out...It will keep the excitement in the game. One Player would get old one day if you dont have Broadband. Having bots will motivate more people to get it.

**l Maximus l** · 10-18-2003

lol

For some reason, I don't think Halo 2 is going to be unsuccessful by lacking bots in multi-player

This game is going to be the single biggest selling game on XBox to date and will likely be game of the year just like the original Halo. It's games like Halo where other developers than Bungie can't touch....the benchmark is set so high...and it's just going higher with Halo 2.

In some sick and wierd way, Halo 2 is actually going to improve my quality of life

**JJaX** · 10-18-2003

I love these game sites that throw up "Reviews" summing up all the info every halo fan already knows....

id have to agree. I think halo 1 multiplayer was one of the greatest things ever. I would rather play halo one on one then 8 on 8 UC. Halo's quality is just that much better.

for guys with no live, how did you play halo 1 multiplayer? lan parties, homies coming over or even XBC. well, that means your just going to have to continue to do so. And i do not have a biased opinion, cause id ont even have live anymore.

so there, halo 2 will rox my sox.

And as a great man once said,
