: I played it for a little while (uuh. wait, it's night now? oh) and I feel
: totally tooled.

: It's like Halo going 200 mph through a hospital zone on fire. I'd say this is
: the game that makes me feel sorry for not having Live.

YES. Now I have played even more and the more I think about it, the more correct that quote feels =)

It's as if they took every single part of Halo down to a subatomic level and enhanced it a tiny little bit, and all that together became the awesome Halo 2.

Seriously, it even has a function I've always pretended was in Halo 1; you can jump onto a wraith, smash and bash and tear up a hole in its armor with your bare hands, and shove a grenade into the hole and jump off. (Starship Troopers, anyone?) How cool is that.

Every time I get killed, the people in the couch who are watching start cheering - because the deths in Halo 2 are SO INCREDIBLY AWESOME that you start wishing for someone to kill you just so you can watch them. Seriously.

I definitely think it lives up to the hype. The one and only thing that could lessen the game as far as I can tell at the moment, would be if it was too short. But I haven't finished it yet, so that remains to be seen.

OK, if I wanted to be nitpicky I could complain about, without going into any detail at all, a tiny part of the story that annoyed me. And some strange bug that makes bump mapping flicker off for a millisecond in some cutscenes.

Halo 2 is the most worthy sequel ever...or at least since Marathon 2. (Yes, it's worthier than Myth II.) It's so good it makes me want to bash my head against a brick wall after finishing it, hoping that it would induce amnesia so I could play again and it would be like the first time.

I can't believe that anybody could buy it and then be disappointed.

(And I miss the Halo forum.)
