They can count me just a soon as the PC version is released.
I don't do consoles. TL |

Besides being able to wield "dual guns" I personally think that Halo1 is better game. Parts of the Halo2 plot just didn't make sense. On top of that you spend all of your time in Halo2 killing the aliens and now you have to play as them. Let’s not even talk about the disappointingly easy ending. Halo1 ended a mad climactic rush, Halo2 ended and I didn't even realize it. This is just the hype machine feeding itself.
To go even further I would venture that Hang'em high on Halo1 hasn't been duplicated in Halo2. Yes, Halo2 is optimized for wan while Halo1 isn't. |

I bought the $54.99 Collectors Edition and felt it was worth EVERY penny, and more so than Halo 1. I am playing on Xbox Live with Halo 2, and have put in SUBSTANTIALLY more playing time than Halo 1, meaning that I got more game for my money out of H2 than I did H1.
Now, I think it would be fair for those who may not be on Xbox Live to offer a campaign only version of H2 for a reduced price since they don't get the plethora of Live features. |

I must be one of the few that think that Halo is just yet another, very over-hyped, FPS.
I mean, it's not even that much fun of an FPS, no music to really get you going not to mention the very boring voice acting... I haven't played Halo2 yet, but I returned Halo 1 to EB for $12. |

"Dunno if I'd buy the collector's edition, it only seems to have extra promotional material and behind the scenes stuff, there's nothing different about the game itself."
The game is the exact same. The DVD has tons of behind the scenes stuff, showing you how they make it, and it shows you the entire team and what they go through to make this game. You would be surprised by how much thought went into this game...things you would never think of...so articulated. |
