Welp before i start, I had my share of playing halo2 online for about errr...2,.....3,.......(eff it) I played online since the day I bought it. and yes ima veteran (PM me if you want proof). For those who will just now buy it, the learning curve for online has become very difficult to learn, especially when your always battling against seasoned vets. The gameplay is unlike any other FPS. Cnat really explain, but the style of the game brings its own creativity. The sound is ok. Nuthin spectacular (like Condemned) just your standard war sounds. The only thing that's good about it, is the Covanent voices. lol they have the funniest unexpected voices. The music is somewhat on-point. As me being a producer, I look out for the music and ambience, because it really brings out the essence of the game. But nonetheless you can tell that the music was put into high effort. The graphics are great at a cerain extent. When watching a gameplay video, it kina throws you off, because when the scenes change, you can see when the textures are being loaded (which shows that halo 2 graphics were a lil high standard for the xbox). But when playing a campaign, or multi, the graphics are great. The only downfall in the gameplay, is that if you play on a huge map, the character view distance becomes difficult (expecially if you love sniping). The value of this game is self explanatory. if you dont know, then you really need to get a copy and see for yourself. BUT the value is only high because of the multiplayer. Sadly the campaign is terrible. Too short of a story, and a dissapointing ending. Clearly the previous Halo dominates in the Campaign mode. But to wrap it up, just buy the game. its worth any price.

Halo 2 is a worthy sequel to Halo. While the story does lack in some parts, overall, the game is still excellent, one of the best games ever. To get the bad points out of the way, i didn't like the single player campaig... Read Full Review
