Halo 2 Ready to Ship
Thanks to pdawerks who alerted us to the post on the Bungie site stating that Halo 2 is ready to ship. It's filled with typical Bungie humor. "If you create a clan, do it because you intend to use it, and enjoy the camaraderie that Clan membership brings. We have systems in place to deal with "dead" or unused Clans. Unpleasant, pointy systems that reek of rust and blood and horror. Think Silent Hill meets Autocomplete."
Halo 2, the l33test sci-fi Xbox Live Video Game eva.
You are probably just a troll... but you never know.
WTF.
This post gets an "insightful," yet my statement on simply not liking it is modded as a troll?
*rolls eyes*
Yeah, thanks mods.
Frankly, I felt the game was an overly repetative FPS with facy guns and pretty animation. It didnt hook for me, and I still dont see the appeal of it.
no
I especially loved moving around like someone in a wheelchair. Controlling a FPS game with that tiny joystick is great. It reminds me of the days when I played doom I with friends and we all used the keyboards (without the mouse), so we all basically sucked.
Ooh, it was great having that super-low resolution too. I mean, nothing is better than having a wheelchair-laden myopic space marine, battling what appear to be giant squirrels with plasma grenade after plasma grenade. I think the level designers had just finished playing Duke Nukem, and wanted to create a version of that, but without the cool sound effects and funny jokes.
For a real game, try UT2004 (on Linux, say). You can play against 16 people while speaking to them via your headset, and there's no yearly fee! Oh, also, you get to move like a non-disabled person.
Half-life 2 and Doom 3 do not compete with Halo 2, they're PC games and Halo 2 is Xbox-only.
Yes, I'm quite sure that no gamer would ever have to choose between Halo 2 and Doom 3 or Half-Life 2, since as you have astutely pointed out they currently run on different hardware. I mean, we all know that saying that all three are competing for limited gaming money is just impossible, right? Oh, to be as rich as you apparently are, never to worry about things like 'budget' and 'cost'. It must be nice to only have to worry about what system a game runs on when determining whether to purchase it.
How on Earth could anyone think that a FPS would be in competition with two other FPSs?
