Halo 2

I just beat the throne room where Master Chief gets dropped off by the talking plant from Little Shop of Horrors...on Legendary. The brutes are actually pretty easy when you use dual neddlers.

Now I'm the arbiter level that follows up after it. I'm sure that I'm most of the way through the game, i just hope the rest of this game doesn't completely dissappoint.

Oh and the health system sucks now because on legendary all you need is a few seconds to be completely back to full health. I always liked kickin ass knowing my health was in the red or yellow and that I could die with just one more shot.

The guide still posts him as "The only surviving Spartan." Obviously they haven't read the novels. If the people were looking toward the plot after the first Halo, imagine what they will b e looking forward to here. In Halo 2, where the storyline is a helluva lot better. Bungie kinda leaves you on the phrase:"What the hell happens next?!"

The most popular theory is that Earth is the Ark, not the ship MC is on, I mean it wouldn't make sense that the Covenent would've had the Ark in their posession the whole time and not have used it for their great journey. And another theory on Cortana is that she has become rampant and power hungry because in the Halo books it says that AI does that after 7 years. Or she is stalling to give MC time to destroy the Ark.

Anyone notice all the biblical terms used in the game? Halo? Covenant? The Ark and the Flood (Noah's Ark saved the good people from the Flood)? Wonder if this has something to do with the storyline & what happens next...

ARE THERE ANY UNLOCKIBLE FEATURES?? ANYONE??

I'm most of the way through the game on Legendary. I hope there is some sort of different ending like there was on the original game.

But then again, if they give me an added cut scene or something, i won't even know if it's extra or not because i never beat the game on regular, easy, or heroic in the first place.

Yes, apparently in Halo 3, Master Chief holds the Last Supper.

i'm kinda pissed they didnt include the other spartans. I mean, hell they survived reach and they dont get no stickin metals.

i'm pretty sure they do exist in the game since they are mentioned " I didnt think they'd send a spartan"

if only master chief was left they would just say master chief.

So...who else took off from work/school/potty training just to get or play Halo 2? I know that a lot of my friends did or wanted to. I was just wondering about you guys?

I got Halo 2, but I ain't that sad.

it's a video game.

People shouldn't take off school or work to play a video game.

Unless the new Leisure Suit Larry lets me actually see everything when I bring a chick home. 😎

I couldn't take a day off from work because I already going to use a day off for the holiday. If I coulda I woulda have taken a day off. Slave to Halo 2? Yeah! so what? is fun and is a hobby! So there!

i had it months ago 😛 so no need

how are you meant to tell if it's the MC anyway? 😛

Some of you are talking about Halo 3 and is a good posibility because of the cliff hangin ending of Halo 2. But most likely it will be for the Xbox 2.

btw-I don't see a point in buying the guide:

Yes, there's the MP map Foundation and there are some easter eggs too like the Giant Soccer ball on top of the roofs on Outskirts and there are skulls on a lot of the levels that each have special abilities, just a few are making your hud vanish and another making the enemy AI completely invisible.

as the arbiter says - not even the Prophets fully understand the technology they are dealing with, so how would they know what the Ark was for?

They know what the Ark is, that's why they're coming to Earth.

i heard that halo 2 was rubbish and too short in length and the ending was terrible. is it true

Just play it and judge for yourself.

erm. i dont have an X-Box

Don't you know anyone that owns an Xbox? or you could wait for the PC version to come out some time in the future.
