The graphics on this are blah, and since its comming from microsoft the gameplay it just going to be the same. So they are going to have to increase the quality of it in some shape or form.

Well, the story of Halo is quite thrilling in my opinion. Of course if you just shoot around like some idiot and don't pay attention to cutscenes and the likes, it's not interesting.

Halo 2 had a nice cliffhanger at the end of the credits.


Btw. Bungie lets you download all cutscenes from Halo 2 for free :)

halo for the pc was terrible, after you got half the way through it. after the main enemy changed from the Covenant to the Flood, it got very samey and boring, and i still have never finished it. maybe i will go back to it after i have finished every other game in the world. however, LAN 2 player rocked!

If you believed Halo had a good story then I think you all need to play some Half Life 2.

I did. Its more like zelda when it comes to puzzles... and all I got out of that game was "OoOoOhhh gravity gun+ sawblades"....

$20 says you have only played the halo GAME.

Which is actually a sequal in the whole storyline, line....

read the book. :rolleyes:

On a somewhat different tangent, I heard a rumor that Halo 3 uses the same engine as Halo 2, except with all the pretties turned on.

Yeah Bungie has said on many occasions the Halo 2 engine was designed with the 360 in mind.
