In Response To: Re: New post at my blog The Oracle (1138) : I still don't get why people are upset over the ending! Half-Life 2 had a : cliffhanger and it was still a great game! So why can't people still like : Halo 2 even though it has a cliffhanger? Even The Empire Strikes Back had : a cliffhanger of some sorts (Irvin Kirschner said himself that it was an : emotional ending, but still, it's a cliffhanger), and people still liked : it. I even liked it as my favorite Star Wars movie (until May 19th 2005 : that is ;) Exactly... I really liked Halo 2's ending. It makes Halo 3 all the more exciting. :) : The pistol. In the hands of a pro, it's a killing machine. Yet in the hands : of a total newbie, it's a paperweight. Sure, people say it makes the game : balanced, but if you're someone who's just picked up Halo and is getting : owned left and right by it, it's not balanced at all from that point of : view. Same thing with Halo's weapon systems: To some it's balanced, to : some it's not balanced. Well, I think a lot of the people that say the pistol is balanced believe that the more skill a game takes, the more balanced it is, and the pistol takes a lot of skill. Now if only the people that think this way would stop complaining about it, or have an intelligent conversation/debate about it rather than flaming everybody who think otherwise after they post their "omfg bungie is teh suck!" thread. . . : I heartily agree with the fact that you stated that Halo 2 is a different : game and caters to different people; not everyone likes it, and it can't : please everyone. CE didn't please everyone either I'll bet. There were : people complaining about repetetive levels, unbalanced pistol, etc. And : now people are complaining about Halo 2. They're both great games in their : own right, but they will be forever pitted against each other and some : people only like one and try to get others on their side by only saying : the bad points of what they hate and the good points of what they like : without letting others weigh their own opinions (which I frown upon). And : I feel it isn't fair. Halo 2 and Halo CE are both amazing games. Halo 2 does take skill - it focuses more on teamwork and strategy, whereas Halo CE focused more on individual skill, like maneuvering and accuracy.
