This game is amazing! A single player maybe with too many plot twists but is still a whole lotta fun, the best FPS multiplayer ever and too many in-game secrets to list. You first start of on a UNSC spaceship like in the first game, then you go Earth, then you go where you have been before, on Halo, but not the same one and many more places. There is now more scenery, weapons, enemies, vehicles and betrayals than before.

First of, the graphics. They rule! The exquisite detail on the weapons, the particle effects on exploding vehicles and the scenery will blow you away at least once. Then you have the environmental accuracy. Trees blow in the wind, leaves come off when shot and now, there are animal like beings namely birds and fish.

Then there is the A.I. They are now even cleverer than before and will find cover and get into abandoned vehicles lying around. You can now swap weapons between each other. Give a Marine a Rocket Launcher or an Elite a Energy Sword and they will thank you for being generous. Give them a Plasma Pistol and they will complain.

Now for the multiplayer:

There are now some new maps including remakes of Battle Creek (now beaver creek) and the rightly so famous bloodgulch now coaglagation).
There are now more game types with the return of Slayer, CTF and Oddball there is now Assault, territories, and Juggernaut which is now separate rather than an oddball variant in H1. There is now also Xbox Live multiplayer which i hear is awesome but I can't comment on it because I don't have it.

Overall this is one of the best games on the xbox so I recommend you get it now and I mean right now if you haven't got it already!

    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
