I couldn't wait for this game to come out ever since I beat the first one. When it did come out however, I was even more excited! :[) I don't see why people were complaining about the game, because Bungie already said they went overbudget! Besides that, people are complaining because of the cutscenes and how they are... well... fantastic looking, and choppy. They are fantastic because they are BEAUTIFUL, OBVIOUSLY!!! But even with that, the pictures become cut off sometimes, but you know what I say? IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, DON'T LOOK AT IT!!! I love this game because of the stunning gameplay graphics and the actual gameplay!!! Bungie kinda rushed it near release date (if you've watched the special edition DVD "The making of Halo 2", then you know what I'm talking about...) which is probably why they weren't able to test the game out to see that. They are however going to release a patch on XBox live ( :( I don't have it...) to get rid of the "choppiness" of the cutscenes. Despite all of these complaints... 10/10!!!
