Wow, I thought Halo 2 was going to get a 9.8 or above. Oh well, 9.7 sounds good to me.

Wait, the ending is bad? I thought it would be interesting.

I think he means that the game eventually comes to an end. At least thats what I hope...:confused:

[Forerunner]

Those Biased Jerks!!! Not giving Halo 2 a 10.00!!! For shame!

I am not sure what you mean, but the mini review that joeschmoe posted had the ending as a negative.

Hahahaha, I agree.

[Cross_Fire]

...but the mini review that joeschmoe posted had the ending as a negative.
Perhaps earth gets blown up in the end.

Or maybe Chief sacrifices himself in the end.

Other wise I cant see what could be so bad.

I don't think those are bad endings. Those seem pretty good to me.

[Cross_Fire]

Whos side are u fighting on?

[TheGreatBrain]

Well certainly a good sign, but as I learned from "Age of Mythology", games arn't always as "bomb" as reviews make them out to be.

[Battlecruiser]

Whos side are u fighting on?
I am saying the magazine is wrong, if the ending is that Earth is destroyed or Master Chief sacrifices himself, because I think that would be a good ending.

You should see the New Blood Gulch :)


No, from what I read, it

Spolier




















Leaves it open to a Halo 3

[Forerunner]

There's a shocker. ;)

[Battlecruiser]

To tell you the truth, it was for me. But I will just have to see.

[Spartan-II]

I would be mad if the master cheif sacrificed himself. That would seem really lame to me.

[Battlecruiser]

Well, if there really was a reason to, it wouldn't be that lame, although I would be mad that there would be no more Halos, unless they somehow change the perspective (i.e. A new game from the Covenant point of view, or some other Spartan).

[bluemicrobyte]

Ok heres what I REALLY want to know: when will Halo 2 be made for the PC? Thats the only way I'll be able to play it, and I really wanna play it!

(note: If my question isnt answered here I'm makin a whole new thread about it...)

[Seal]

remember, critics are not to be trusted. they are always biased to some direction.

I could've sworn that Bungie said no Halo 2 for PC, but that might just be a ploy to make people not wait for the PC version and buy it now. You never know, and unless someone can sight sources, it's meaningless to discuss it.

[bluemicrobyte]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooo


I hope they know this just means I'm not buying Halo2......didn't someone say you could download it?..............

/me lurks off into shadows to download *cough* starcraft utilities *cough*

It wouldn't suprise me at all if it was ported to the pc. Milking the gamer.

[bluemicrobyte]

well as soon as I hear word that it's gonna be on the PC I'm headin down to the computer store to pick up the latest video card...speaking of which...

/me heads to tech annex to post in his video card thread

* bluemicrobyte heads to tech annex to post in his video card thread*wishes microbyte would buy an Xbox*
I would buy an Xbox just to play halo2, plus there are other good games! (Like Halo ^^)

[bluemicrobyte]

/me would never buy an X-box!!

never!!! and bungies stupid to only make halo for xbox, even if people do buy an xbox just to play it, bungie doesnt get any extra money, only microsoft does...right?

besides, I'll bet there are a ton of other people just like me, refusing to buy an xbox.

[Forerunner]

Seeing has Bungie is Microsoft's bitch, having Halo only for Xox isn't their choice. :D

[Battlecruiser]

never!!! and bungies stupid to only make halo for xbox, even if people do buy an xbox just to play it, bungie doesnt get any extra money, only microsoft does...right?

Bungie is property of Microsoft.

[Spartan-II]

Plus microsoft pays bungie So i dont see how it affects them any.

[bluemicrobyte]

well, that makes microsoft even more stupid than they already are!!!!

[Forerunner]

... how?

[Battlecruiser]

Can you back up the information? Or are you just saying because you don't like Microsoft. Or maybe it is because you want to raise your postcount. I find it funny that you have the second most posts in this thread, and yet, you don't even plan on getting Halo 2 for xbox, but this thread is a review for games that are coming for Xbox, and more specifically Halo 2.

[Forerunner]

*looks for where to give karma*

...

*curses to the warboards lords*


well put.

[Spartan-II]

Ll for once the mighty forerunner have nothing to really add..

[bluemicrobyte]

My point is: There are many, many people who will only play games on the PC, (and there are many people who will only play games on consoles) and by only making a great game like Halo2 only available on a console, Microsoft will most likely not get nearly as much money as they did with the original Halo game. Sure, they might get a few hundred or maybe even a few thousand people to buy an xbox, but if they were to make a PC version they would get at least a million copies sold for the PC alone. Also, because it's not available for PC I'm sure there will be plenty of people who illegally use pirated versions of the game on an xbox emulator (if those exist) and discover that they can use that emulator to easily play any game they want, causing Microsoft to lose even more customers/money. Think of it this way, by making it only for xbox, they will rake in the 1 million people that own an xbox (that number is just for an example, I know its not accurate) and maybe get another half million people to buy an xbox. However, if they were to make a PC version and sell it for the same price, they would rake in those 1 million xbox users, as well as at least 2 million PC users. AND, they would also get those few collectors to buy both versions, getting them even more money. Do you not agree that they are stupid to only make an xbox version?

(and I really, really dont like it when people say I only post to raise my postcount. In fact, I don't even check my postcount....exept maybe once a month just to see what it is, so SILENCE YOU FOOL!)(please do not reply to that last comment, as it will only generate spam)

/me has left the thread

[Spartan-II]

We have postcounts? O_o *Feels stupid*
I agree but its microsofts decision. And they probably will make it for pc after awhile you know:smirk:

No, if you were smart enough, you would realize that Microsoft is actually being smart, but just because you have PC, you based your decision on a bias, and then call Microsoft not smart. Also, just so you know, they probably ARE going to make a Halo 2 for PC, but just not yet. It might come out in a year or so.

and I really, really dont like it when people say I only post to raise my postcount.Good for you.
In fact, I don't even check my postcount....exept maybe once a month just to see what it isSure...
so SILENCE YOU FOOLHypocrite.

[Forerunner]

Oh, they are good :D

[ZeroDarkStar]

For reference, OXM US is the only OXM mag to not give Halo 2 a perfect score.

If anyone wants it, I can scan some pages out of the OXM. There is a spoiler section, but I won't scan that.

[Louay]

Oh please do!
