Xbox 2 Plans on Schedule

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."

It is true that 90% of current Halo fans still play it only for the multiplayer. However game magazines were also raving about the single player campaign. For example, this is what gamespot had to say about the game:

Halo is a complete thrill ride from beginning to end, an experience perhaps best described as a 16-hour-plus version of the siege scene from the film Terminator 2.[...]The single-player experience in Halo is so strong that it's easy to regard the multiplayer side of the game as secondary, and to a large extent, it is.

This doesn't seem to me like a comment regarding the multiplayer, does it?. I still don't know if the reviewer was receiving oral sex while he was playing or something: Some of the game's areas were so poorly designed that they are only marginally better than the first era in Daikatana. While not a terrible game as a whole, (as you said, the multiplayer game is better than the single player) the reviewers did seem to be pretty wrong with this one.
