  1. Halo 2 severely overrated... by dhakbar · · Score: 0, Troll

    So I've played Halo 2.

    My friends all love it, but I simply cannot be impressed by it... the offline campaign is okay, but the online gameplay is repetitive, boring, and inflexible. There can be no hope for a mod for Halo 2 that will offer fresh, new gameplay, so there is little hope that new life will be breathed into this already old, tired game.

    Playing an FPS on a console is missing the point entirely.

  2. Re:What a dissapointment by jmole · · Score: 1, Troll

    Well then, what makes Halo 2 so special that it should be regarded higher then other FPSs? Is it innovative? No. There is nothing new that has not already been used five years ago in FPSs on the PC or even console for that matter (Goldeneye64). Is it revolutionary? No. The graphics are subpar to other FPS shooters out there. They look like crap compared to PC FPSs. Nothing special or new with the weapons, vechiles, gameplay, physics, etc either. Is it evolutionary? No. Halo 2 is just a rehash of the first game. It does not set the bar for next generation FPSs.
