Halo 2 Anticipation Thread: Hype Vs. Reality

[Adam Stone]

24 hours non stop? Thats around 3 times throught the whole game..thats dedication.

hehe, okay, maybe 24hours was a slight exaggeration. ^_^

But hopefully? it will grip me from start to finish.

Game Informer is the worst gaming rag besides Gamepro. A 10/10 from them provides no indication as to the actual quality of a game.

I'll have my copy of Halo by 1 AM US Central Time. If there aren't NON-ILLEGAL impressions already posted, I'll give my two cents.

Now if you'll excuse me, there's an ice-cream truck driving through the base dormitory lot. I must now commence to run outside like a giddy school girl.

Some of the Live features look awesome.

i really dont wanna spoil everyones enthusiasm about the Halo 2 Live features (which to me are just all about statistics, boards, rankings and game customization) but i've just read the article and the only feature that might get me happy is content download. and that's because i hope they will provide some single player stuff too!

just as a heads up. completing the game on heroic unlocks a new level for live.

Mine hasn't shipped from VG+ - mightly peed'ed off about that.

[PeteJ]

So close now....mmmm. I'm hoping UK shops start getting their stock in soon so I can work on obtaining a copy early.

I'll be on Live all day Thursday and Friday anyway, I'm so excited about the online play.

[NeilMcRae]

They will get their stock today. Game in Harrow are opening at midnight to pick it up.

Neil.

[NeilMcRae]

correction - they have charged me but don't appear to have shipped it yet. What was the US release date?

[Bleeders]

9th November if memory serves.

EDIT - What did IGN give Halo 2? Can't view the site due to our enthusiastic firewall here. >_<

[PeteJ]

9.8

9.5 for presentation and graphics and 10 for the rest.

[Geoff D]

9.8 I believe.

[Bleeders]

Thanks fellas.
