Posted by Zonk on from the next-next-gen dept.

Thanks to GamesIndustry.biz for their article regarding the manufacturing plans for the Xbox 2. "Speaking at a press conference, senior vice president Kenneth Kin said that ... manufacturing plans for Xbox 2 chips is 'proceeding according to plan,' scotching recent murmuring about a possible further delay to Microsoft's schedule for the system."

    I have to disagree; I really enjoyed to single player, so much so that I actually played the entire game through in a single sitting(!), and I subsequently finished it several more times with friends in coop mode, which is a LOT of fun.

    I do agree that the game is repetitive at times, but that's the only complaint I would make, and the story was engrossing enough that the repetitive level design didn't bother me. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what makes the game so good despite it's flaws, but it remains my favorite FPS game ever, and considering that most of the flaws were due to the pressure to release the game in time for the xbox launch, I think it's safe to assume that halo2 will be even better.
