    The thing about Halo 2 is that we arent given objectives or navpoints like Halo 1. The basic aim for Halo 2 is to get somewhere before the Covenant, but in Halo 1 it was so much more in depth. You'd find yourself traversing vast areas indoor and outdoors, trying to get to a specific location, while the wraiths balls of plasma came raining down on your head. All of the excitement of Halo 1 has been removed, ok there are times when it is exciting but not to the extent of Halo 1. The Silent Cartographer/Halo , were the levels that really stand out in my mind from Halo 1, but in Halo 2 the only thing that comes to my mind is the delta halo level, i find myself not even remembering the names of the levels in Halo 2 because i lost interest. What do people think?

    One thing that has come to my attention just moments ago is when i was looking at the cut scenes of Halo 2 i noticed that when (i think it was mercy) died from the flood, Cortana's Hologram is shown to be on the prophets chair. Now these chairs are likely to hold information about the Covenant, I wonder if she finds something out during this scene, because when she decides to stay on High Charity to make sure that In Amber Clad will destroy Halo if it is activated, she is seen to cross her arms and fingers behind he back asthough she doesnt mean what she is saying. Also this cut scene is called 'Cross Purposes' so that might have something to do with it.

    Yea me and all of my friends all agree that Halo 1 was a lot better then Halo 2 gameplay wise. of course Halo 2 is graphically superior, but honestly who cares about graphics if the game is too boring to play and notice those graphics. Now seriously ive gone throught the whole H2 campaign once. Ive done the 1st 3 levels a ton of times and then a couple other MC levels. Ive never done Arbitor levels, besides the great journey, more then the 1st time i went through the campaign. I think Bungie made the biggest mistake by putting the Arbitor into gameplay. I understand they had to show that the elites were gonna break away from the covie and that there needed to be two players in two dif places for the storyline to work but y the arbitor. they could have put in one of the other remaining Spartans or something. Im just saying the Arbitor was the biggest mistake Bungie made in Halo 2 and i hope it is only MC in Halo 3.

    Yeah i think your right, at first when i got the game i thought it was a great idea, but gradually i began to realise that it was in fact a really bad move. In Halo 1 we were given views on the Covenant (we were almost forced to believe something) but in Halo 2 we are left with two opinions one from MC and one from The Arbiter.

    Sublique you should be the one shutting up. Jr24 was making his opinion and you made yours. We never critizized yours by the way.

    Yeah i think the same, i think the actors wouldnt be very good at acting it, if you know what i mean. They should definatly do it as computerised, but that isnt doing to happen.

    Jr24, Cortana did give the MC a reason for staying on the High Charity. She said that she didnt want to risk a remote detonation of the Inamber Clad if they had to blow the reactors to destroy Delta Halo. Comuetrized movis would be better. It would show much more explosiony stuff that actors cant do and live through.

    I read somewhere that Bungie hired the director of 28 days later do direct the movie. I hope it would be all computerized cause that would look so stupid with real actors on a fake halo. And fake being as u can tell that its a set.

    hey haloxbox. check on ebay, they have heaps of items. ive bought a warthog from there. i wanted the bashee and a ghost but it would cost too much to import them to australia cos they are almost all in america.

    is this halo movie the real deal. i think it would be great but it has to be computerised. cos a mc actor, nope. they would have to have steve downes voice too or it wouldnt be the same.
