Re: Heavy Criticism of Halo 2 *LOOOOONG*

In Response To: Heavy Criticism of Halo 2 *LOOOOONG* (pile o' nades)

: Conclusion

: Instead of a 10, a 11.7, or OXM's biased, hype-induced 9.7, which was lowered
: from a 10 only after playing the game, I give Halo 2 a 7.3.

: Halo 2 was over-hyped, and could not deliver on that hype. This game seems
: much more like Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter (sucks) than the game we were
: all expecting. If Bungie announces Halo 3, I am going to take anything
: that is said about it with a grain of salt.

: Halo 2 sucks.

: Look at that statement. No "!!!!11!!oneone!11!"s, and not in ALL
: CAPS.

: *dons flame retardant suit*

Okay... see, I was with you up until the Conclusion.

Then you lost me.

Yeah, there are some things to be critical of. But there are SO many decisions Bungie made perfectly, and ways in which the game exceeded my expectations... I agree with most of your criticism, but I can't follow the jump from "there are some things I don't like" to "Halo 2 sucks."

I also think that the multiplayer game shouldn't prop up the campaign mode. But... you never even mentioned multiplayer. And multiplayer is excellent, it's superlative, it's like having an IV consisting of one part adrenaline and two parts fun.

...honestly? It sucks? I think you ought to think about this again.
