Insightfully Critical Fan Review of Halo 2

Anonymous the Cowardly Lion writes "While browsing the tome of data that is the online-Halo-community I came across 7hr33.org, a group apparently known for their pioneering work in the Tricks scene (contemporaries of the infamous Warthog Jump). What caught my eye was their critique of Halo 2 from December 2004: The Page of Woah|Woe. It's a little too in-depth for the casual player at first, but by the final third it really encapsulates the reactions of core players to the sequel." From the article: "The assessment is in: Halo 2 is... well, different. And I don't mean that in an entirely negative fashion. A lot of the changes are for the better, and we should certainly hope so. Online play, dual-wielding, boarding, the energy sword, stunning new vistas, and a compelling story arch... in many ways, H2 is a phenomenal game. There isn't another like it."

    Yeah, there sure aren't that many FPS's out there that are so crappy. Except maybe Halo 1. All they did was make YASFPS( yet another shitty fps ), and throw it down on the console to take up the place formerly occupied by goldeney. It doesn't hold a candle to to PC fps games, nor fpses in general for that matter. I haven't met anyone yet who both likes halo a lot and also has a great deal of experience playing goldeneye, quake2, half-life 1 and counter-strike. It only seems to be popular among those people who have no fps culture.
