Ok, I said most of the time we host but I\'ve played in games not hosting.  It ran smooth.

Also, relatively is a strong word.  Mind you your connection will matter but it seems that any broadband connection handles the game quite well.  The game seems to work better online, probably cause it was actually meant to be this time around.

Meijers broke the street date.

It\'s mine:

Understood but I am primarily a PC gamer and when you fire up something like Gamespy to be connected to games you get bombarded with ads (including timed ads upon startup), to the point of insanity.  There are 3rd party programs that were made by disgruntled PC gamers but the interface doesn\'t compete, and my favorite (All Seeing Eye) asks you every so often to buy the full version.

With the PS2 you get a sub-par interface and infrastructure.  When cheating was a problem with the Madden games (pressing pause and leaving etc..) we couldn\'t do a damn thing about it.  But since we pay MS they have to hear our complaints and make something change, watching for cheaters and deleting their account, etc..  You get what you pay for, but as you say, getting something for free is always nice.

Damnit!

extremely jealous of Nu!

EDIT:  Nu, are you pullin\' our dicks?

>>>9th post has the pic you posted!<<<

That bastard. He didn\'t even bother to find another host.

It\'s mine, Ginko. I originally posted them here, and here.. If you\'d like more proof, I\'m more than willing to take more.

no no, I believe you.  I just found it odd that he had the same pic but now that you\'ve cleared it up...I\'m still jealous.

why do u have 2 Nu?

One\'s for a friend.

I wish I could play it in English.

And is that you in the reflection of your tv?

Heh, no worries.  Lots of GAF told him to cut his nails so he took another pic of the box and its contents and posted it on GAF and it was stolen and hosted on Gamespot shortly after.  I think you might have told me before that you were Sai on GAF, Nu, but I must have forgotten.  I am Ryu there -- I post less frequently there then I do here, though I do spend a lot of time reading that crazy forum.  Congratulations on the pickup of the game though.  Us West Coasters will have to wait awhile for it though -- with the exception of your friend who you mailed the game to.  And yes, I did consider hijacking the shipment.    We don\'t have many mom and pop shops to break the street date for us here.  Generous of you to mail it to your friend.

I know GAF has lots of impressions, probably your own as well, but can we get some that are not spoiler intensive of the single player?  I\'d like to hear your opinionson it.

What\'s that fake receipt got to do with me?

Yep, yep.

I don\'t think I ever directly stated it. I did ask you on GAF a while back if you were the same Ryu that posts at Psx2C, and you answered yes.

I really don\'t know what to say. I said a bit about the enemies and the Marines on the impressions thread at GAF, but I don\'t know what else I can say without going into the details of the levels themselves, and I have a feeling people will get all bitchy about that.

Single Player and Multiplayer-- both considerably better than the first. In Single Player, less repetition, more interesting and frequent enemy encounters, and much more difficult(especially on Legendary, Christ).

And Multiplayer... Well, what else can I say? Based on what little I\'ve played on LIVE and XBC so far, the game is perfect online. I just wonder how it\'ll be when more users are on. Can\'t say I\'m not disappointed about the inability to search for a game(there are enough people with the game now, I just can\'t get to \'em is all. ), but I think it\'ll all work out once LIVE is populated with HALO 2 players.

There\'s going to be a period of adjustment for all you HALO vets. The game feels very different, and I\'m not just sayin\' it just for the hell of it. It almost doesn\'t feel like HALO. I don\'t know how many people are going to be accepting of these changes, but I\'m loving it.

Oh, that\'s another thing, maybe you can talk about the framerate.    Thanks for your words, though short, I still can\'t wait to get my hands on this game.
