: 8) : JH < Couldn't agree more, you put into words what I could only think. I think the worst thing about this whole ordeal is that I've been left in the exact place I started! Waiting patiently and checking everyday for updates like many of you was what I'd been doing for a good long time and finally the game ships. Two days later I find myself looking on the web again with that same anxious feeling as before waiting for tidbits about the new Halo, only now it's Halo 3. Halo 2 was suppossed to occupy my time like the first one, I thought I'd be immersed in the game and that would be all I played until....well ever, I guess. But the feeling I got from Halo CE was lacking and like many of you I can't quiet pinpoint the reason. Halo 2 is a great game for sure, but it was lacking what Halo CE had...whatever that is. Even the E3 demo had what Halo CE had, for some reason though Halo 2 just didn't. Like I said it's still a wonderful game but so many little things just bother me about it whereas it was the little things that made Halo CE so great and that made the game feel like a whole, nearly perfect experience in the first place. I don't know....gaaaa....
