In Response To: Here's how I responded (mercury)

: solidmercury wrote: "Jazo, Halo is still there. Bungie wasn't remaking

: of Halo, I don't need two.

: They didn't change Halo. They made Halo 2 pretty much from scratch, and it
: had different ingredients. Peanut butter and chocolate chip are both
: cookies, but the flavors are very different. If you think chocolate chip
: is better, eat chocolate chip. Some of us like both. Excuse the analogy,
: but thats how things are."

: Why would you write the perfect novel, then go on to write a critically
: berated non-fiction? You moved on from the novel, and didn't want it to
: define you; you needed variety.

: Bungie didn't change anything, because Halo 2 is not Halo with a new gloss
: of paint. Halo 2 is it's own game, yes it continues the series, but it
: does so while being autonomous in its style.

: I want to see games being pushed to do new and interesting things. I don't
: want to play sequel after sequel of the same engine, with the same
: gameplay, and the same tired style of story. Halo 2 makes mistakes while
: trying to build toward something. So what, at least it tries.

: Halo 2 will never be enjoyable to you if you keep comparing it to Halo. Play
: Halo for the Halo experience, and play Halo 2 for the Halo 2 experience.
: Both are fun in their own rite. Both have their own autonomous problems.
: One might appeal more to you, and thats great, but one appeals to me.

: Back to the analogy, if you hate peanut butter cookies simply because you
: like the way the chocolate chip cookies taste, and you wish all cookies
: tasted that way, you're missing out on something great. But no one said
: you had to like peanut butter.

: Wow, now I'm hungry. Think I'll go have a cookie.

You have very very strong points and I agree with you. However what I hate is that my Halo 1 disc that I love sits and collects dust unless my friends and I decide to bust it out for fun at the occasional lan. I can't just get my Halo 1 fix at any time like I could with Halo 2 if I so desired. I know Halo PC is there, but my computer power combined with my shoddy DSL makes that a bad experience. I can't hop on XBC because no one is ever on there either.

Halo 2 has the Live treatment and it deserves it. However while doing this it pretty much killed Halo 1. I guess that is why I still cannot move on and appreciate Halo 2 to its fullest.
