Heh. Good timting on the post. I just busted out Halo again yesterday and beat it for the 4th time to reminf me of its greatness and to help me remember the storyline details. Im beggining to get myself hyped for Halo 2.

I think Halo 2 WILL in some ways be Halo with a fresh coat of paint. Because Halo 1 really pushed the X Box to or near its limits. Sure statistically the framaerate could have been better..blah blah blah. But gameplay wise Halo was near perfect. All they can really do to improve it is maybe throw in a better storyline, improve the multi player, and throw in a few new abilitys like Holding 2 guns at once or giving the Army issue assault rifle a scope (That it needed in a BIG way). Its not like were going to see a game thats revamped or anything, like we do in many sequals.

What I am really hoping for though, is more vehicles. Id like to see some Human version of some of the covenant vehicles. Like a small flying army vehicle that mimics the Banshi*. Or a hovering ground vehicle to mimmic the Ghost. I would think they might do that concidering this game will be played on earthand theyre should be an abundance of army vehicles as apposed to Covenant.

But thats not to mention the BIGGEST and most anticipated addition. The ability to play On X Box LIVE. Halo has allready started a multiplayer craze without online support, just imagine what happens when hundreds of thousands of people can jump online and play Halo 2 with tons of other people any time they want. Can you say gaming Nirvanna ?.

Im going to hit up my local gamestop soon and reserve it. Although it will probably be pushed back a dozen times. This of course because the hype has forced them to realease a very premature release date just to please the masses. I wouldnt be suprised if it keeps getting pushed back a few months
