I'm not in a rush to finisht the game. There is so many new things to try that I'm just taking my time. Normal mode feels a lot more harder in Halo 2 than in Halo 1.

Got a little something for everyone to think about here.
I was cruising the Bungie message boards, and RUMOR has it that the reason why Halo 2's ending seemed so incomplete and left you wanting more is....
because Bungie plans on releasing more of the game through X-box live. The rumor is that there will be an actual final level where you fight as the Master Chief instead of the Arbitar. Also, that this final level will come out on a demo disk for OXM subscribers.
of course this is merely a RUMOR, but would it really surprise you guys all that much? Microsoft doing it to increase their X-Box Live customer base while creating extra revenue as well.
Never said it should be 50 hours, nor an RPG. However, it should be longer then 8 hours and it shouldn't be beaten in one sitting. 25 hours is good for a single player campaign.
There are plenty of people who wanted the game for the single player, my friend included, and what he got was a good game, but very short.
Yeah, I know, unforunately he doesn't feel that the game warrants another time through single player campaign. He said that after beating the first Halo, he wanted to play through the compaign again and again because the levels were fun. He said that's not the case in this game, the levels weren't that fun and don't warrant another time through the campaign.
How is this a Halo bash? I said nothing about the game, I'm merely repeating what a friend of mine said who beat the game. I was watching him play the game and it looked neat. Nothing overly special, but neat none the less.
Well, if they expect people to play through the game multiple times, then they should have given it a higher replay value, which obviously it doesn't have for everyone. A good game should give a sense of satisfaction after beating it on normal mode, it shouldn't require you to play through it again and again to get that sense of satisfaction.
Who is my friend? Well, he's my friend, he's someone who loved the first Halo, played through it multiple times and beat it on legendary mode. So if he says that Halo 2 doesn't warrant another go around after beating it one time on normal, then I think something is wrong with the game. He does know his shit when it comes to gaming, and seeing as he's my friend, I am going to take his word on something like this since he's proved time and time again to me that he does indeed know what he's talking about, especially when it comes to Halo, and games in general.
