I'm really curious...when Halo 2 comes out, do you guys plan on jumping on XBox Live right away or do you guys plan on playing through the Campaign first?

I plan on playing through the Campaign first before anything...beat the game, get a taste of all the new weapons and vehicles, etc...and then learning all the multi-player maps afterwards. In fact, I plan on not even looking at the multi-player maps until I beat the Campaign.

I have a really close buddy and we play Halo like a religion, and we kinda made an oath and stuff

Oh yeah, check out the poll!

**Nameless** · 01-13-2004, 10:04 PM

I hate you.

**Snake Eyez** · 01-13-2004, 10:07 PM

I would play through the game to get myself used to the maps and weapons.

And I hate you to Max.

Multiplayer by day, campaign by night. If the game comes out on a weekday me and the of my close friends will skip school, buy it and take it home and system link. If it's on a weekend, or the following weekend after it comes out, we'll play a system link LAN with as many guys as we can. I'm sure at absolute least four people out of my friends will buy it. But I'll definitely play through the campaign whever I get a chance. It would pretty much by simultaneous, but I really can't wait to hack into mutliplayer.

hehe....Feel the hate! Woo hoo!

I just didn't want to irritate anyone (well, not too much, anyway) about posting another Halo 2 thread...but, this one hasn't been done yet...

The dude I was referring to in the beginning of the thread, my close buddy who plays Halo with me all the time, were talking about this. We actually made an oath to play the Campaign and not even look at the multi-player maps until we beat the Campaign.

Not to worry, dudes...I'll be playing on XBL, likely, the next day as I plan on taking the day off and beating the Campaign the same day

Oh yeah...on Legendary, too...

shocking. maximus makes another halo 2 thread.

And yes, this one has been done before.

I'll probably spend a day or two on campaign, just to get it out of my system (still pumped from the E3 vid). Then I'll check out the live action.

I hear that...sounds like you have a good plan. Trust me, it's going to be tough to try and not check out the multi-player maps when I first get it

Alright, dude...you'll be the first I'll hunt down when I get on XBL with Halo 2.

**ScorpionX** · 01-13-2004, 10:44 PM

Screw campaign, that can wait. I'm going to learn all the MP maps and new strategies. Not to mention I will probably lan for days after it comes out

n00b You even remembered to include the n00b poll! No n00b thread would be complete without the n00b poll

I am going to hopefully play through the whole campaign first, but Im sure I wont be able to last the whole way before I get sidetracked by live.

You know while you in the mission, you are gonna get an invite to play it on live... Who is going to be able to decline an invite to play on live?

**Angell** · 01-13-2004, 11:11 PM

I wont be able to resist jumping on live

**themoosearmy** · 01-14-2004, 12:47 AM

Definately finish the campaign first, thats what I did for Halo 1. I'd like to get used to all the new stuff.

**Brimstone D.** · 01-14-2004, 12:52 AM

Maximus-XBA is officially 10,290 days old today...Just pointless facts..

**Yankeez** · 01-14-2004, 01:08 AM

**Shadow20002** · 01-14-2004, 08:53 AM

holy....this is what we don't really know....

**thrAsher** · 01-14-2004, 09:05 AM

Another Halo 2 thread? Why would you guys even buy this game? It's not like the first one was all that.....

Okay! Joking! Just joking. Don't tear my ears off, Maximus.

Since Halo's story was one of the more compelling parts of the game, I'm sure I'll give the campaign a go first. I don't know if I'll finish it before I hop online for some mayhem, though. It'll be hard not too go online right away. I really can't wait to play as an Elite and strike terror in the hearts of the human forces.

Just got me thinking....I wonder how many people will call in sick or ask for the day off when Halo 2 drops. I know I'm taking a week off for Fable.

**Salmonaitor** · 01-14-2004, 09:22 AM

I'd like to play through the campaign first, but I'm not nearly as good a campaigner as I am a multiplayer, so I don't think I'll be able to wait. Plus, my buddies wouldn't let me finnish, we're all too excited to start kickin' each others butts. One thing I am going to do, is rent out the party room at our curling club and have a massive LAN pary the weekend after it comes out.
