Halo 2 brings what made Halo: Combat Evolved a masterpiece and expands on it, mostly.

User Rating: 9.5 | Halo 2 XBOX
After waiting for 3 years, this game is finaly out, and it's just as amazing as Halo: Combat Evolved. The campaign has an engaging story and has you fighting for both sides with an ending that keeps you begging for more. The multiplayer is where this game truly shines as it took what made the Halo: Combat Evolved multiplayer great, makes a few tweaks and puts it online for everyone to play. The campaign picks up where Halo 1 left off. You fight in different environments and in few missions play as Arbiter, which is a cool idea but it just feels better playing as the chief and after a while, you just want the mission to end so you can play as the chief. The co-op mode makes it's way back into the game, of course but doesn't make it online. The multiplayer is once again, amazing and where if you ever played this game, will be spending most of your time in. Matchmaking and Custom Games are where it is truly at, the game's multiplayer provides hundreds and even thousands hours of playing time and every game will be different, so what are you waiting for, if you haven't played this game yet, you are truly missing out and should at least get a taste of what is, Halo 2.
