lol. You can crap on it all you want, i still enjoyed it.

Oh what i actually find disappointing about Halo 2 is the AI. Its all prescprited. So no matter what you do, there will always be the same movement in enemies.. so basically you know where they are if you have played the level at least once. basically it renders the difficulties to the pointless stage, since you know where they are at. Now i shall shit on Halo 2's AI.

I noticed that to a little speciely when i replayed a level you knew where they would go so you can ambush them.

MGS2 story was wonderful,the only problem with that game was Raiden,he isnt even a bug compared to Snake.

MGS2 is still on of the best games i have played even though you played most as Raiden.

Halo 2 had a nice open feel even if it was forcing you to go one way; you still felt like you had choices. Others do that but Halo 1 and 2 did it very well.

Well this topic isn't about MGS2 so I'm going to stop my bashing of it till later.

Take it to a MGS topic but thats not safe for your health. MGS fans less sensible than me might get angry at you.

The only thing Halo 2 did for me that was good was that it made wanna read the Halo 2 book if there is one. I read the first book,it was pretty good.

I read the first book that was about when Master Chief live up to they come to Halo. What is the name of the other books?

The Flood by WCD is it also a halo book?

Yes the Flood is the second book. It's basicly the game just readable it includes shield recovery and all that jazz, so it's a pretty good adaptation. The third is First Strike which is by Eric Nylund and takes place right after the first halo game.

Any clue if Nylund or the other guy is gonna write more halo books?

I must say the first book was so intresting.

I'm gonna get the Flood and the fact that i havent finished halo 1 is a plus cause i dont know what happens.
