I played it for a few hours yesterday. My friends and I got to teh point where we would play teh first one in co-op mode on Legendary, So I figured I would start Halo 2 on "Hard". And boy is it. It's probably about as hard as Legendary on teh original, and I almost started over on Normal. But I think Imma stick it out. I wuv some of teh new weapons. teh assualt rifle is drastically improved in teh Battle Rifle, and teh Beam rifle r0xx0rs my b0xx0rs.
And in Halo 2, there is no "health" you have your shields, and you can only take a few shots (depending on what you are being shot with) after your shields have depleted. teh guy at teh beginning says your shields charge faster, but I don't know about that. Maybe it's because of teh difficulty level. More later.

Yeah, that plasma beam, is teh shit, unless of course, teh other guy has it. That was what did me in many times while playing teh campaign. That and those F'ing cloaked elites sneaking up and whacking me in teh head.

Having now played Halo 2, though not extensively, I will admit that I enjoy, but as of yet, not as much as teh original.
teh whole customizable character maker is MUCH sweetness. *grins* I picked teh "mark of shame" as my crest, cuz uh, well, I suck.
Dual weilding's pretty nice too..I ended up killin' a guy or two with a couple of Magnums, which of course, made me feel like a bad ass, though I think my score was a grand total of 4 that round.
I also enjoy teh fact that you can have more than 2 teams, which is a HUGE improvement on teh first game. My friend Dani & I (two girls) ended up coming in second of three teams, which was pretty fuckin' sweet, considering we both suck. teh number 1 teams was made of teh three most experienced guys in teh apartment, so that was pretty much a given.
Kicking people outta vehicles is also an awesome addition, though I'm not quite talented enough to do so at teh moment.
My biggest complaint so far is that there's no zoom on like, anything but teh sniper rifle & teh rocket launcher. I used zoom extensively (with my pistol) in teh original game, and it feels like I'm fuckin' naked without it. I very much don't like that at all.
My second complaint is that all teh maps are fucking huge. Honestly, I stayed alive for like 5 minutes one round cuz I couldn't ever fucking FIND anyone. One or two huge maps are cool and fun, but ALL of them are just so big you can get lost!
Also, game creation, game joining, & system link set up is all a little more complex than teh original which doesn't endear it to me, but it's not something that'll make me hate it. One of teh coolest things that my friends found out though, is that you can quit outta a game, and then rejoin it without losing any of your kills. Or, you can add players during teh middle of a game through that process, which is uber-sweet as well.
*shrugs*
Over all, I'm excited for it's potential, but saddened because a lot of my favorite features are gone.

I got to play some multiplayer this weekend, and I must say it was indeed fun. I haven't taken teh time to play online yet, but I will sometime.
When you play multiplayer, you must play a match with juswt swords at least once. That shit was fun. You start out with a submachine gun, which is mediocre, but there are tons of swords lying around all over teh place. and you have grenades as well.

I've actually been wondering teh same, Wicked. It just looks like any other FPS with more weapons and decent graphics as its only saving grace to me. But I hate FPS's, so go figure.
