Official HALO 2 thread

Wow, any game that makes mm NOT act like a cynical asshat DEFINATELY deserves a second look.

 Half-Life 2 is just going to be balls out f-cking awesome regardless though.  I can\'t wait to play with the gravity gun.

THAT and the fact that you can play the first one with the source engine.

/me can\'t wait till pay day so that i can pick this bad boy up.

p.s.
Anyone know if there will be a Team Fortress source ?

heh, Team Fortress. Now THAT brings back memories.

What is really ridiculous is that I have a magazine from almost 5(?) years back with screenshots and a write up on "Team Fortress 2".

Heh, TF2, I believe, was one of E3\'s games of the show way back when.  How pathetic is that?

My quote that Nu posted sums up pretty much how I feel about this one, but one other point I\'d like to add -- if it was all about the shooting and atmosphere of the game and story didn\'t matter in the slightest, then Doom 3 would be the game of the year.  We all know how that one turned out though...

haha yeah I know

I\'m a massive Halo fan and even I was dissapointed by the ending, and it pains me to say that

The onyl part I disagree with is the books, I tired to read the fall of reach but found it unbearable.

I dunno, perhaps for me when I invest the time in reading a book I want the literature to be top notch.

I\'m not trying to sound like a book worm or nothing but I just found the books to be totally laughable.

to each his own tho.

I never looked into any of the books after so I didn\'t know there was a 2nd one out until a few minutes ago when I read that there was :P

Beating the game left me very un-fulfilled tho so i\'m thinking about picking up both books (even the one I dislike so much) and read them and hopefully they can give me my halo fix

I guess I could compare my wanting of the books now to when you get really horny and you can\'t find the good porno so you have to settle for the b grade porno

Like Ryu said, atmosphere only get\'s you so far and ID proved that with Doom 3. Another problem is that I never thought the Halo universe had much an atmosphere to begin with. Another alien invasion! Oh no! I am spoiled, I guess. Games like Half-Life 2 have experience and  gameplay.

HALO doesn\'t have gameplay?

Heh, lets not get started on that one.

If by gameplay, you mean uninspired and void of any soul, then yes, Halo has gameplay in spades. Now, if you mean gameplay as in inspired, having soul and being fun, then no, Halo doesn\'t have. So, I guess in conclusion, it comes down to what you consider gameplay.

Oh shit.  If I didn\'t appreciate the drama of people infuriating each other over videogames on a message board, and if I was a civil and law abiding moderator, it would be a good decision to delete LiC\'s post.  Yet, I can\'t seem to bring myself to hit the delete button.  I wonder why that is...  *grabs popcorn*

I like both, it\'s possible.

yes...but Half-life 2 has the bonus of having….

Half Life 2’s game play
Counter strike source’s Game play
Day of Defeat source’s game play
Half life Source’s game play

So you can see its kind of out numbered

I suppose if that were anything other than his opinion this could go somewhere.
