Halo 2 sucks

[S4ur0n27]

bisexual.

The Romans from Julius Caesar's era hated it, though.

[avenger69ie]

thats probably why they hated the greeks too, Not only were the greeks of that day fashionably gay, but they were pedophiles by todays standards.

Adult men being regularly married to 13 year old girls and younger.

However the gay stuff was not just reserved to town and village, it was widespread throughout the greek army, one of the most fearsome of its time.

[S4ur0n27]

Greece was part of the roman empire in those days.

And Romans were also marrying young girls. Usually they got married at 12-15. Most were set up by the nobles, too, to keep their bloodlines clean.

[Wolfman Walt]

Most countries generally married young girls up until something like the 1700's. Infact, in most places the age of consent is still dramatically low compared to "American Standards."

Uh, you know the Spartans, right? Well their army was based on this some sort of a relationship-network-thingy. An older warrior takes a young lover and trains him and when they fight together, they've fallen in love and fight fiersomely for each other. When the old goof dies, the young guy takes a lover and trains him etc. etc.

They were the toughest warriors of that time; beat up everyone threatening them. And they were gay OMG IRONY.

[Megatron]

no way, Gangis Karn and his army were the toughest army ever except mabye the united states marines. they had arrow launchers and shit.

[Subhuman]

Kashluk is right, though. The Greeks thought a warrior would fight more fiercely if he was battling alongside his lover, and they were right. The Spartans pwned.

Kashluk is right, though. The Greeks thought a warrior would fight more fiercely if he was battling alongside his lover, and they were right. The Spartans pwned.

Until God turned them all into pillars of salt.

[Megatron]

and it sort of degraded into a gay mafia and chit. Gay Mafia. Gay Mafia. A Gay Mafia.

And a warrior would fight more fiercely if he had a bleeding butthole apeshits. The gay spartan liked to buttfuck his enemies to death after battle and therefore, eventually died out and were replaced with fiercer mongol viking pirate assholes who wore better armour and silk and shit.

[Subhuman]

TEH WIN.

[S4ur0n27]

you can't beat canadian trappers

[Megatron]

the greeks died out because the men didnt have wombs

[S4ur0n27]

no, because of the women

So, about Halo 2, anyone played it?

I have read about some people finishing it the same day they bought it.

meh. spoiler.

Played it, finished it. It did take about ~10 hours to finish. Moved onto Legendary. Halo on legendary in co-op was fairly enjoyable, but the real shit kicker for Halo 2 is that when EITHER player dies in legendary co-op the game restarts to the last known checkpoint.

Ability to mount vechiles is pretty cool. Wraiths are no longer impossible to kill unless you had lots of rocket ammo or a vechile. Then again, it works the other way around also with the enemy mounting your own vechiles. Grenades have been toned down LOTS. Unless you manage to stick an elite with a plasma gren he won't die, and their explosion radius is pathetic. Pistol has been nerfed also, loosing it's scope and firepower, but fires faster. It's the new needler. Speaking of the needler, it's stick crap. Aliens now have snipers, which 1 hit kill you on Legendary and can seem to hit anything. And when you have entire areas with about 20 of the little fuckers it's just horrid game design. The physical world has been updated, you can push over crates, etc now. There's a couple of more vechiles in the game also, but most only appear once during the game (guass warthog, cov jeep thingy) with most of the vechile sections being on ghosts.

Ammo is an absolute bitch. The Battle Rifle (basically the new pistol, except in rifle form) only holds a total of 140-odd rounds. SMG (assault rifle) only holds about 300. Looking around for ammo constantly sucks.

Story line sucked, and the ending sucked much harder. It bascially ends with the MC on a ship going to earth which can annihilate the universe then....the end.

The AI hasn't changed much, it still bears some kind of tactical mind.

Overall, it's nothing new, it's just a couple of little bits and pieces (like all vechiles are destructable) and the addition of the power sword, and the ability to play covenant with turn on able active camoflauge instead of a flash light....which lasts about 10 seconds.

[Mr. Teatime]

Spoil the game if you want, I'm not buying it.

[Wolfman Walt]

I only played Halo 2 on multiplayer. Yes it's fun......for a console game. Theres still somethings though that suck hard. And I mean real hard. In a lot of ways, the first game is a lot better.

As stainless mentioned, grenades now suck. Frags now seem to have a long ass time to explode meaning it's hard as hell to kill people with em. The only really chance you have to kill with grenades (Outside of freak accidents) is by sticking with plasma, and even thats hard.

My biggest critique is jumping. In the first game jumping was pretty realistic all things considered. Now you jump about 20 feet into the air. This makes it really annoying, especially when people bunny hop constantly.

Weapon selection has increased but most of em seem more ineffective compared to last game. With the exception to the Sub machine gun which appears to have gotten better, especially when Akimbo'd. Needlers (which sucked last time) are suprisingly good when Akimbo'd and are my favorite weapon combination. Other then that, most of the new weapons are shitty.

Another big thing is that almost EVERY map is a recycle from the last game with maybe 1 or 2 differances. So basically X-Box players waited 4 or so years for a recycled multiplayer mode with 4 more weapons and better graphics.

Also worth mentioning, apperantly Halo 2 has a lower frame rate to compensate for the better graphics. As such, if you suffer from motion sickness (like some of my friends) don't expect to be able to play Halo 2 like you could Halo 1.
