HALO 2 is out!!!! - Page 4 - Nubblies.net Forums

Mr. Blonde · 11-08-2004, 05:12 PM

Yeah, i think i know what you mean. They are just two dif. types of games, FPS and uhh...i dont even know what you would call GTA...action RPG? Truth is, i've never played a GTA game thoroughly, because i've never owned a playstation console, and I guess i never found that much interest in it. I'll pry give San Andreas a try sooner or later

Halo 2 Review

GTA: San Andreas Review

I was just kinda trying to be an asshole though. The truth is that this is simply one reviewing place's opinion...and that .1 really isn't much of a difference at all.

That said, San Andreas is definitely better (even though I've never played Halo).

Mr. Blonde · 11-08-2004, 09:36 PM

Due to deciding to be a smart, responsible college student, I will not be picking up Halo 2 at 12:01 at the mall tonight.

While this decision greatly disappoints me, I have to get up at 7 in the morning for work, and then work all day until 2, where I have a test, then I have a meeting downtown, then back to my apt. to work on my hw for the week.

I will pick up the game tomorrow afternoon, seeing as how thats the soonest I could play it, but still...i wanted to pick 'er up tonight.

fat_retard · 11-08-2004, 10:20 PM

San andreas is definitely better. Maily because it is actually innovative and something new. Halo is just another console FPS that people got hooked on, its really nothing new at all.

buckeye · 11-09-2004, 03:15 AM

okay fat_retard you dont know what you're talking about it. Regardless of the scores the thing that makes h2 better than san andreas is the fact you can play it online. You can play it much longer than you would a game with just a single player campaign.

Also its hardly innovative/new incase you didnt notice its still running off the sames graphic engine used in GTA III, and is essentially the same game except for bigger areas, different areas, and more things you can do. GTA III was revolutionary, GTA San Andreas is just its offspring.

As of now ive been playing the game for 4 hours. The game suprised me i thought it wouldnt be able to replace halo's multiplayer (due to built in noob friendly features) but i was quickly proven wrong. Halo2 is the next game ill be hooked on. Id also strongly recommend setting the battle rifle as your default weapon, and the pistol or smg as the backup. Its much more fun that way (is similar to generic setting in halo), and doesnt make you have to go around and search for a good weapon from the start.

buckeye · 11-09-2004, 03:15 AM

ohh as of 12:30 ill be on live under the name buckeye717 if you wanna play j-up.

Mr. Blonde · 11-09-2004, 03:20 AM

yeah...i said i wasnt going to go...but i did anyways...and there were def. over 300 people outside fo the Muncie Mall...i gotta get up at 7 people, fuck that. I'm still pissed though. Fuck you, fellow consumers.

Mr. Blonde · 11-09-2004, 11:48 AM

This is driving me insane...i NEED that fucking game...and theres no possibility even for me to get it until 1:00

Nathan · 11-09-2004, 01:26 PM

What am I missing..? I played Halo 1 and didn't think it was all great, whats the big deal with the Halo craze?

Saint DH · 11-09-2004, 03:45 PM

Yeah Halo sucks.

Mr. Blonde · 11-09-2004, 03:52 PM

Eh. Some people don't like it. I'll get back with you later tonight with the final sales THE FIRST DAY from the the millions of people who do like it, however.

I'm going to go pick it up now. ciao.

Ive played Halo 1 twice. None of my close friends have an xbox, so maybe that has alot to do with me never really getting into it. The first time I played it was over at my old friends house. There were 4 of us and were playing multiplayer together, I suppose it was kinda fun, but nothing blew my mind away.

Then the 2nd time I played it was at my cousins, he insisted that I played the game, so I think me and him ran through the last level of the game together, or one of the lasts.

I remember the goldeneye craze in the N64, but that was before I ever experienced online FPS games. I just dont see why someone would rather play a FPS on the console with a controller, over a mouse and keyboard. Its so much easier to play on the computer, and generally looks much better as well.

Mr. Blonde · 11-09-2004, 06:14 PM

I'm playing it now, and i'm nutting at the concept of dual weild.

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 11-10-2004, 12:00 AM

whether or not to invest in an Xbox so late in its cycle just because halo 2 is coming on out, or should I not. plus i'll probably buy the new mortal kombat game because i was the shit at it on ps2, and i don't have a dvd player.

Is it worth it?
Those that say they hate the first halo i don't want your opinion.

In addition, I could trade it in for full value when the Xbox 2 comes out (suppossedly next summer (2005)) thus making it $150 cheaper. I couldn't really pass that up for a measling $20. You also can get 2 free games that are pretty good with the Xbox purchase (NCAA Football 2005 and a tennis game). I'd go for it if I were you.

Mr. Blonde · 11-12-2004, 06:55 PM

I am so pissed off at the ending...goddammit...has anbody else beaten it yet? Now I have to wait god knows how long for the next one to come out...and its such a cliffhanger too!

nope, playing a shitton of multiplayer.

what maps did you unlock?

Mr. Blonde · 11-12-2004, 09:49 PM

Beat in on Normal, starting in heroic in a couple days...uhh i didnt notice any new maps, but i didnt really pay much att. to what was there before..maybe have you beat on heroic and legendary first?

Schroeder · 11-14-2004, 03:22 AM

Halo 2 is out.... and it's being used to crack down on modded xbox's!!!!

Not, at all they've been cracking down on modded xboxs using Live since day 1 of its release, its nothing new. I know someone that works for Microsofts Xbox division, and he gives me all my games for free, there is no need for me to mod my xbox.

Mr. Blonde
After you beat a certain difficulty level you unlock more multiplayer maps, and weapons. I just dont know which one does it, ive heard Legendary unlocks all 3 maps, but ive also heard that each difficulty level above easy unlocks a map.

UB
You're right, thats why it sold more copies on its first night than any other video game in history. Acutally its gross sales ( 125 million) for that first night was more than any movie blockbuster in history on its first night. Yeah halo does suck.

Do any of you guys got Xbox Live yet?

Mr. Blonde · 11-14-2004, 06:56 PM

Yeah, i'm working Heroic right now.

I'll get live when I get some more $$, I know i have the 2 mos. free w/ halo 2, but i don't have a headset, so i dont' think i can even use it

buckeye · 11-15-2004, 12:22 AM

you can use it without a headset. You can hear other players talk through the tv, you just cant talk back, which is just about useless in multiplayer.

Mr. Blonde · 11-16-2004, 12:52 PM

Kinda disheartening news. No wonder I havent gotten the new map yet(apparently there is only one to unlock).

Unlockable: Foundation Multilplayer Map (w/ Glitch)
Unlock the hidden Foundation level by completing the single player campaign on any difficulty. Due to a serious glitch in the game (and one that will not be corrected), you will need to do the following to unlock the Foundation map for a specific profile:
Start a co-op game with a profile with access to the last episode (The Great Journey) and a completely fresh profile (i.e., one that has not even started the campaign game).

Fight to through the last episode until the players need to board Banshees to progress.

Have the new profile player perform a barrel roll (both directions) and a Loop-the-loop (stick down and A button).

Complete the game as usual and the new profile will have access to the Foundation Map. Since profiles may be renamed, you can delete your old profile and rename your new profile w/ the new map.
