ok I'm a big Halo fan.I have Halo and I've seen Halo 2's 8 min demo and read all the news about the game. It has been Delayed for so long it was supposed to come out June 2002, 6 mos after Halo 1. then it was delayed to 2003 for more 1P play and multiplayer, then delayed til March 2004 for bots in multiplayer. OK, cool. Now they delay it til December 2004-Jan 2005. For NO REASON. They never said why they're doing it. Now Microsoft went too far, say goodbye to your fans. They cant do that, thats just taunting us. Halo 1 is so old and overplayed, its boring that no one cares anymore. Microsoft, say goodbye to your XBox.

Where did you read that they delayed it agian? The sites I go to say this April it will come out. The XBox site still says March 2004 infact but EB say April so I have no ideal on when it is coming out, but non have said 2005.

Bungie said it I think it was EGM, they said they'll release it when it's ready, but at least give us a reason(and a good one)!

I got a good reason. They want to make it perfect for us! I am hoping for co-op play for that was the best thing in the first Halo, yet they took it out on Halo PC which made all my friends and me mad! sO I am hoping they will put that in for Halo 2 and maybe make a patch for it on the PC! Just saw the due date go to June 1st 2004, which means that it isn't set yet, so you maybe right on your due date Marik...how sad but I'll still wait for this great game.

Well now I'm hearing December, and they'll put Co-op in Halo2, the PC version I think I know why, its hard for Co-op PC games. I bet after a few years a PC version of Halo 2 will come out too.....

Yea this game's finally out. I went to the midnight thing and got my copy(had to wait 3 hours in the coldbut its worth it) It's great in most directions, but it feels wrong on some. I love the campain, but it feels it dominates on vechiles too much, alot less shooting. The multiplayer is fun but it feels more difficult, and I think the guns could have been better. Some improves, like the needler, but some like the pistol and SMG's and Battle Rifle couls have been better. The vechiles are great, and the controls are the same mostly which is cool. They got wicked in depth with the story. I dunno what else to saybut if anyone has questions or comments, post awaw!

Yeah, the only main frets that I have is that... *SPOILER BELOW*
...The flood look too unrealistic. The little "popcorn flood" look like little brown blobs that kill you when they come close enough.
*/Spoiler*
Also, when you let the marines drive the hogs, they seem to either a) run over your own guys, b) drive into a wall and keep driving into it, or c) just flat out drive too slowly.
Also the voice acting is weak, especially with the grunts (They sounded much more realistic in Halo 1), and when the sgt. (or I think it was a sgt.) says the "When I called for re-enforcements, I didn't think they'll send a spartan." line, it sounds like someone just talking into a mic in a booth, with no inspiration what so ever.
Then again, these are just minor quibbles in an excellent game.

The voice acting for the aliens got worse because they had to change it. *Some Spoilers below*
In Book 3 "First Strike", Cortana found the data which was the language of the Covenant. She then transfered it to the Cheif's listening device or whatever, and he could hear them speak english and understand what they say, so no more "Wort wort wort!". *end some spoilers*
Anyway, i like either double magnums, double Covenant Plasma Rifles (NOT BRUTE VERSION), the Battlerifle or the Energy Sword. The Sword is always my first priority, but if its durability (Campaign mode) gets very low, i ditch it wherever i can. Then i use the Double Pistosl if i can find them. If not, then Double Covenant Plasma Rifles. If i cant or i need to aim accuratly to take out things like snipers, the Battle Rifle.

My favorite combo is either duel needlers, smg / magnum, duel plasma rifles, or plasma / magnum. You'd be suprised how quickly I'd rack up the kills (this has been only on lan, since my hub doesn't want to support XBL...

Two needlers def. I'm not big with the guns in this game. I'm excellent with a Ghost though.

I only use Needlers against the toughest of enemies, especialy Brutes. Other than that, i dont like it because they are slow. Even if they home in on the target, they are not very agile, so if they strafe, the needles will most likley miss...
Not to really discourage you. I just find it a good Campaign Dual Wield Weapon, not really a Multiplayer one.
My favorite Vehicles are, like everyone, the Ghost, the Scorpion Tank (why hate it?) and the Gauss Warthog (shoots a powerful Magnet Propelled bullet that does lotsa damage, instead of the minigun).
