I dunno. It might just be that GR2's got the benefit of being new, and I'll be sick of it within a few weeks and back on Halo. I can't see that happening, though - I had a few games in Team Slayer the other night and absolutely hated it. The only reason I lasted for four games was because Supaglue had just got his Internet connection back online, wanted to play something and it's the only Live game that we've both got - if I hadn't have promised him some games, I'd have pissed off halfway through the first of them.
I had to mute at least one player in each of the four games. How much fun is that? The lag kept on killing me. The maps were the worst in the entire game - Midship and Warlock. We were getting dickheads on our own team (one of the members of our party was level 4 - cue lots of "I hope you play better than a 4" from wankers who then managed to get all of three kills themselves).
Custom games? The only custom game we play now is SWAT and that's because we've exhausted the others. Seriously, it doesn't matter which of the other gametypes we set up, everybody knows what everybody else will be doing, how they'll be playing it. There are no surprises left. SWAT's the only one that doesn't apply to.
And GR2 does SWAT. Its main purpose in versus games is SWAT. It does SWAT with a far superior set of maps. Play SWAT on Halo and you've got two maps to choose from for the game to be any good - Zanzibar, Headlong. Play SWAT on GR2 and it works on almost every single level going.
I've had just over seven months worth of games out of Halo 2. It's hardly surprising that it's dull as dishwater now, and I've certainly had my money's worth out of it, but dull it is. GR2 may not have the same sort of longevity, but right now it's a lot more enjoyable. When it dies out, I'll be moving onto something new, not going back to Halo.

some choice words after the game from our american opposition though... my favourite being:
"come and play a 1 on 1 and i'll **** you in the ass!"
followed by:
"think you're a man? play a 1 on 1 and i'll show you manly"
seems our american compatriots got a little hot and bothered from the mocking and confused us for big muscle marys who enjoy back door shenanigans. idiots. and they had 'cocks' for icons too... he sounded about 15 and his balls had just dropped, i was in tears!
