Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Wasn't Microsoft supposed to release it on the same day the Xbox 360 was released?

Mayn U wanna be like me but U can't be me cuz U ain't got ma swagga on.

No, the day the PS3 was released. This way they could try and steal some of the sales. But it didn't work out like that.

I can't wait for this! I'm deffinantly getting it when it comes out. \'

I can't wait. I've loved the Halo series. Halo 1 had awesome single player and Halo 2 had awesome multiplayer. I'm looking forward to the 3rd.

If it's anything like 2, believe me, I can wait.

 

 

 

Please tell me why? Halo 2 has got to be the most played game on Xbox Live.. I just can't see anything wrong with it really - I myself played it online for about 5 months. :oops:

Allow Chris Butcher, technical lead on Halo 3, describe Halo 2:

 

Halo came together in 4 -5 weeks polishing period at the end. No more than that. That's the period in which we really had the perfect storm. The team was all there, everything was working great, and the entire game came together in that period. One of things that's stuns me when I think about and I can't believe its true, we had none of that for Halo 2. Take that polish period and completely get rid of it. We miscalculated we screwed up, we came down to the wire and just lost all of that. So Halo 2 is far less than it could and should be in many ways because of that."

 

He went on to talk about the multiplayer saying

 

̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅEven the multiplayer experience is a pale shadow of what it could and should have been if we got the timing of our schedule right. It's astounding to me. I f**king cannot play Halo2 multiplayer. I cannot do it. And that's why I know Halo 3 will be so much better.

 

 

 

It was such a let down, in my shared opinion, that it was barely better than Halo. Glitches galore, shallow, really shallow plot, and not to mention most of the Xbox live population have about as much maturity as a wet cat (can't be helped), Halo 2 was, pretty much, dreadful.

 

 

 

I really hope they don't screw up 3, and it looks like they've seen the error of their ways.

 

Talking about Halo 2 as the most complete multiplayer is total bullcrap. Try a real FPS like Halflife, CS:S or something.

I misunderstood what Bubsa said :wall:

 

 

 

Yep, May 16th ought to be very interesting.

I know it's an opinion. I passed it off as an opinion, gave reasons for my opinion, and showed others who had the same opinion.

 

 

 

I never said anything about what others thought. :| I couldn't really care less what your opinion of the game is.

Bull. We all know what 'teh bubsa says is fact! Fact I say!

The creaters of Halo 2 admitted they screwed up, and that they we're going to deliver good on Halo 3. And since part 1 was great, I don't see why we shouldn't give them the benefit of the doubt (or w/e way you say it, I drank too much)

:lol: .

 

 

 

I am giving them the benifit of the doubt but i'm not really holding my breath for it.

 

 

 

I enjoyed the first halo's multiplayer a bit but really disliked most of the single player in it. Granted that was probaly just tech issues but a lot of the levels were just very long and boring.

 

 

 

 

 

We shall see what this one brings.

Hey, it's the queen's birthday only once a year. I'll gladly take the oppurtinity. :P

I'll agree with you on the maturity part, and kind of on the glitches (Though I love doing glitches *just* in a game made for it) But he really doesn't say why it was all that bad. Sure it may have copied off of other game types, but that's usually what all FPSs are. But IMO, H3 will be better.

they better keep the beam rifle in the game...my fav weapon lol

May 16th ought to be interesting. Online beta comes out for those lucky people who got it. I'll be playing it on my friend's 360 as I never took the time to reserve Crackdown.

I got myself a multi player beta-card so that'll be fun. Also I've watched some trailers, making off's, etc. and it really looks awesome - both the multi player (love the way the added some offence-defence levels) and the single player!

The link isnt working :( But i cant wait till it comes out. I think ill try the public beta once it comes out. Hopefully it will be free to download and play :D

If you need the link you can catch it at a couple places:

 

Gametrailers

 

Gamevideos

 

Joystiq (Youtube) <-- With commentary

 

Hope that helps :)

You're completely right, I misunderstood you. Sorry.

 

 

 

I never said anything about what others thought. I couldn't really care less what your opinion of the game is.
That being said I care what your opinion of the game is; I think that's why I jumped on your post so quickly. :|

 

Once again, my mistake.
