In Response To: Re: A few deep breaths *SP* (Louis Wu) : I didn't see the original thread until after it was locked either - but I
: Randy didn't pan the game - he said it didn't live up to what he was
: Yes, Halo 2 is prettier. It has more guns, more environments, more music,
: But on some gut level... the Halo 2 campaign isn't as much fun as the Halo
: I don't think anyone's gonna argue that I'm not a Halo fan. I love the game,
: You've complained that people are dissing Halo without saying what's wrong
: Eh. I didn't want to get into this until we finished a review. More later. I thought I was the only one that couldn't figure out why I wasn't "gripped" with the Halo 2 campaign. So many of us have actually bonded with the characters and in Halo 2 I/we don't really know who these characters are anymore. What really threw me with the covenant characters was the Shakespearean dialogue from the Elites, I even heard one with a slight English accent and one sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger ??? After playing through on Legendary the biggest gripe I have with the game is why Bungie would make the Master Chief so damn weak. In the original game the MC was roughly equal to the Elites in shield strength and over all power, now the MC is weaker then a Grunt and can be put down with just a few shots. For me, once I stop admiring the visuals and the music I have serious doubts that I'll be playing Halo 2 all that often. Maybe Bungie will go back and take a good hard look at the original game IF they plan on making Halo 3.
