And then we can look forward to the two-year old engine not running well on brand-new PCs.

What systems is Halo 2 available for?
A

Halo 2 is being made for the Xbox only at this time.

That's disappointing, because I enjoyed mercilessly beating the shit out of everyone on the Death Island map online. God, I stopped playing that game because I had such a ridiculous advantage, not only due to my mad skilllllz lo1lerskate, but due to the fact that hosting a game gave the host an obscene advantage. The game was pretty balanced other than that, though. I could easily take down a banshee with a pistol, so no biggie there.

In other words, it's disgraceful journalism, but hey.

MS didnt release it because they want everyones subscription to sexboxlive to expire so they HAVE to buy a new subscription to play the MP on halo2

That is why i'm not going to buy it.

THats the biggest load of bullshit ive ever heard you say.

Reminds me of politics.

says you pooperscooper.

Maybe MS hates irish people, too.

The pistol was... very strange. It was like the poor mans sniper rifle. And the assault rifle was about as useful as a roll of toilet paper. At least with a roll of toilet paper it could be used to wipe ass instead of suck ass.

And that is why Halo's weapons were pretty strange.

I played Halo on the computer, and it was fucking shit.

maybe you're an idiot?


its not a question of hate or love, its all about money, you small minded clown.

Clown, but not small minded.

You just seem to love those conspiracy theories a lot.

tell me how and why I "seem to love those conspiracy theories a lot"

edit: please

Aneurysm hating you, MS's stuff about Xbox live registrations. It concord with your general attitude.

your theory basis is just two instances, hardly worthy of being called a conspiracy.
when did i say aneurysm hates me?

if you dont believe MS is after your money, you entitled to that opinion but to me you truly are smallminded in that belief.

if you dont mind telling me, what is my general attitude?
I'd really like to know lol

OH LOLOL shut the fuck up you goddamn queer.

Saying MS delayed their game of 6 months just to get people to subscribe is kind of naive.

I was also referring to aneurysm's "racism", which you made a big case of yourself.

hate and racism arent the same thing, ok?

I don't think there's anything REVOLUTIONARY about Halo 2's gameplay -- it's an extension of what Halo 1 offered.

The main attraction of the game is the Xbox Live support.

Why should we trust a dark jedi?

Eh, since I don't have an X-Box, Halo 2 is a no-no until they port it to PC. And when I have a new processor and graphics card. And maybe a new hard drive, my 80 gig is hitting the 2 year mark.

In a brief summary :

A-

+ Excellent gameplay
+ Great delivery
+ Plasma sword pwns j00
+ Huge multiplayer
+ Interesting story
- Short, overly linear campaign
- Aggravating cliff-hanger
- Not revolutionary, but REALLY good

lol homophobe

get your facts straight before accusing me of being bent.

Calling me naive is your opinion, you can state what you want, it doesnt make it true, same can be said for my comments about MS, But, this has been an ongoing rumour for months, which i have heard in many different media circles. Believe it or dont, Your choice.

aneurysm's "racism", has nothing to do with this topic, And i certainly didnt bring it up here.
try to stay the right bandwagon, preferably one you can understand S4ur0n27

heres another hug for ye and a beer for when its legal for you to drink
