Wel, I guess Black is fun for a while and I really want to get it sometimes because I'm a curious person (and because I like to shoot stuff :)). But it is not on paar with Halo 2's singleplayer campaign, which is admittedly far above average although it wasn't quite as well crafted as Halo 1's campaign..

I was reading gamespot's review on Black, excited about picking a copy up tomorrow.

I read this interesting part:

"The eight levels in Black don't take long to complete. Experienced first-person shooter players will be able to blow through the game in six or seven hours the first time. The harder difficulty settings are, as you might expect, more difficult, though the primary difference is that you can't carry any health kits with you on these settings, so you won't be able to heal on command if things get rough. While you'll unlock black ops mode for beating the game on hard, as well as silver versions of the weapons, which have unlimited ammunition for use in any setting you beat the game on, there aren't any additional modes or multiplayer, and there isn't any serious replay value here. After playing through the game once on normal, it's tough to get excited about a second run-through on hard, let alone a third on black ops"

Sounds like my experience with Halo 2's storymode, short and sweet. The difference is that Halo 2 didn't give any reason to play over and over, and a least Black gives some reason (silver weapons, black ops), no matter how small.

The thing is, I still played Halo 2's story mode a million times through. I'm just curious, why give Black such a lower score? Because Halo has online play?

I'm still getting Black, looks awesome. Just wondering what your thought are on this, and why Black's campaign mode is so much worse than Halo's.

Edit: Changed title.

Man I am really starting to have doubts about my xbox. I got one for christmas becasue I never really got the chance to play one much. So far the games I have are:
Splinter cell chaos theory (pretty good)
crimson skies (gets old quick)
halo 1 (alrite, but does not make me say wow)
ninja gaiden (feels to much like an arcade game, i dk)
pgr2(havent fired it up yet)
I just got deux 2, i think thats the name anyways.
counterstrike (pc is better)
kotor
morrowind
Im soon getting halo 2

Well, Halo 2 is a crappy game but sometimes I play it. It's funny when you gather up all of your troops on a warthog and drive them around and not going anywhere. Then they get mad then kill you. Yeah, sometimes it's funny.
