Its not about Online Co-Op
Posted By: Flawless Hobo <hoobs11@yahoo.co.uk>Date: 3/26/06 3:26 p.m.

In Response To: My semi-annual novel...replayability and teh Dukez (Ducain)

The reason I and many others don’t play Halo 2 campaign mode is because it simply isn’t fun, this is especially true when compared to Halo.

Halo doesn’t have online co-op yet I still play it from time to time. The reason is because the level design in Halo is much better, people were complaining about repetitive levels in Halo but I’d rather replay any 1 of them over every level in Halo 2.
Halo 2 is very linear in comparison; you have a set path to follow. However contrasting that with Halo where there are massive levels composed of diverse indoor and outdoor environments and the game is just more fun to play.
Halo 2 has a very claustrophobic feel narrow passages and even when you are given the option of using a vehicle the game feels like it is on rails as you’re forced into narrow caves/tunnels/bridges/valleys. Halo had a couple of vast landscapes and it felt like you always had a choice to walk through the vehicle based levels of Halo 2 would be arduous and incredibly boring.

The ironic thing is the E3 demo level of Halo 2 looked more like something from Halo than anything in the final game. Does any one know why it was dropped ???

For me Halo is far superior to Halo 2, although I agree with you all when you say the multiplayer in Halo 2 is better. I just hope Bungie manage to recapture the "feel" of Halo's campaign mode if/when Halo 3 comes around.
