Some people think that Halo 2's campaign mode was worse than its predecessor, Halo:CE (or PC). In fact, it pretty much is true, but at the same time pretty much false. First of all, Halo 2 has less repeats than Halo:CE had. In Halo:CE used copy and paste to make the same things over and over and over again, which made it become pretty boring after awhile. Second, Halo 2 did a much better job at having a long time of intense fighting. In Halo:CE you could've had "30 seconds of fun" and in Halo 2 you have "30 seconds of fun" 100 times but all of them are different. That what makes Halo 2 different from Halo:CE in a good way. The bad thing is, it has an open ending which I personally like because it gives me something to think of for the next 3 years, but that's not good because it might get my grade down....whatever. The levels are also shorter than Halo:CE which can be good or bad. You also can play as the Arbiter which is pretty cool. Some people think the levels were really bad, but I found them interesting. It's only the matter of opinion.

No doubts about it, Halo 2 has a much better multiplayer than Halo:CE. With complete Xbox Live support, this is how Halo 2 blew all the other games out there. I don't think there's much to talk about really. There's a bunch of new maps including 2 maps from the original Halo. They included Battle Creek and Blood Gulch and called them Beaver Creek and Coagulation. Pretty interesting. They also added new multiplayer modes like Swords. Multiplayer is just awesome. You can also check your stats on Bungie.net.

There are awesome new weapons in Halo 2. I'll list a few....well actually all.
HUMAN WEAPONS
M6C Magnum Sidearm

This weapon is basically the good old M6D Pistol, but the Magnum doesn't have a scope which made it so deadly in Halo. This weapon can be duel weilded and can hold 12 bullets per magazine. This weapon is recommended for close combat work! PLACE HEADSHOTS ON YOUR ENEMIES WITH THIS WEAPON!!

The only strength of this weapon is its high rate of fire. Nothing else. That's why it's called the bullet hose. One bullet doesn't do much damage, but when this weapon is dual wielded, it can do tremendous damage when all shots are placed accurately.The weapon has TREMENDOUS recoil when fired continuously!!! The targeting reticle will keep on going up and up. This weapon has a EXTREMELY SLOW reload. It's not even funny, but it's worth it...sort of. This weapon is awesome, but like all awesome weapons...they have their downpoints. This weapon holds 60 bullets per magazine.

This weapon is supposedly the regular M16 rifle. It fires short 3 burst rounds and does some damage. It has a 2x scope so it makes it good for long range combat. Equip with a shotgun and you'll be going on a killing spree! This weapon holds 36 bullets per magazine.

NOthing different from the one from the original Halo. WHat else is there to say?

Nothing different from the original one...

Just like the rocket launcher in Halo jsut with one minor touch to it. THE HOMING ABILITY!! I won't even get into it. I'll let you have the fun to figure it out.

JUst like the one in Halo. Just not that it can be used to blow up vehicles!

I will update later..and by the way! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Bungie worked long and hard on this game and deserve all the credit they should have. This game was great and should become a classic. Laugh out loud. Oh well.
