Official HALO 2 thread

Ok well how is GTA 2 a sequel to GTA 1?  They are both pretty much exactly alike and use the same engine.

[Living-In-Clip]

Did MM and OOseven share some of the secert stash? We are all debating the merits of Halo 2 as a sequel and somehow GTA VC got brought up. I simply stated that if it uses the same engine , part of the same franchise and uses the same fundmental gameplay, then it has the exact same standards to live up to as a sequel and somehow that  has become to hard to grasp for some of you.

And RE:CV is not a friggin spinoff. It takes place in the timeline. It\'s a sequel, for cryin ****in out loud.

thats what i said

Weekly What\'s Update

Elite Operative asks: Will there be downloadable updates and maps? Will there be new Campaign stuff?

Yes. We have not announced a schedule yet, but we will be making new downloadable multiplayer maps. They rock too. I\'ve played a couple. There will likely never be downloadable Campaign content, however.

F-ck you Bungie.  F-ck you up your stupid asses.

heh..well i came in on the middle of it..but now i understand what you\'re sayin\'....it seemed the issue was whether the gta series were true sequels of each other, which they are not....but yea if it is a new game in the series..it has to live up to the same exact standards as if it was a true sequel...

JUST PLAYED HALO 2 2NITE!

all i can say is meh, i certainly ain\'t buing an XBOX for it like i was thinking i might.

I think i have a reason for this though, i only played like 30 mins of it because..................U CANT PLAY WITH MORE THAN ONE PERSON ON THE ONE LIVE ACCOUNT!!

this is completel crap - there must be a way around it, im probably sounding a littole crazy but let me explain:

my friend has his live account and it seems that he cannot let other peole (Guests) play in a ranked game and the only other way we can play is if we get a bunch of freinds on live to join a custom game - my question to u is - is there a sort of lobby thing (like in every other online game) where u can just join anyones game and the host can have as many players as he likes?????

I know i havent explained it righ but i hope u get my meaning - any sugestions?

Of course you can\'t play ranked games.  Sit back and think for a second.  That would mess up the whole ranking system.  

As far as a lobby aspect, I can see the problem.  But if you have any sort of friends list it\'s easy as pie.  It\'s as simple as your friend ,when playing ranked games, sending a friend invite to people he played with.  From then on he can normally get them in a custom game whenever he feels.

You can have up to 3 Guests on one LIVE account.

And there are no lobbies where you can just join a game in progress. Not exactly. Basically, HALO 2\'s Online experience involves you populating your Friends List on Matchmade games. From here, you make friends and/or invite them to your party, which allows you and these players to play Custom or Ranked matches together.

If you have a large Friends List, it should be quite easy to just scroll through and go on and join a Custom game in progress.

Not yet, that’s why I am saying clam down.

But still it CAN\'T be as big a disappointment than FABLE.

Somehow I don’t see Bungie being forced to make a public apology on how their game was PISS POOR,

It isn\'t.

I\'m more pissed because HALO will probably be milked and turned to shit when the team starts losing interest and going on to other projects or leaving altogether. That\'s what HALO 2\'s ending told me.

The ending itself wasn\'t horrible. Yes, it was abrupt, no questions from the first game, the books, or in HALO 2 itself were answered, and I guess I just wanted some ****in\' closure like Bungie told us there\'d be, I wanted Microsoft to let Bungie keep HALO in the back for a while and move on to something different. I don\'t want to see this franchise milked dry, then when it finally concludes nobody\'ll care except the obsessive folk at HBO.

I guess this is the part where you guys tell me "You should have expected it". Well, don\'t. I kind of did, I just wanted to stay in denial.

[EDIT] - Funny, just checked GA and saw a thread that summed up my feelings perfectly. Ryu\'s already joined in:
