I think it's safe to assume that the word AWESOME is an understatement. Halo 2 is the origional after 3 years of intensive training - with an impressive result. A hulk of a game with all the bells and whistles of the first but pumped up on steroids. Sequels are never this much better than the original - at least not when they have so much to live up to - but H2 captures what made the original great and much... much more. The way that the human weapons were retooled... simply amazing. The assault rifle is much better now with the 3 round bursts and the scope. The shotgun behaves more realistically now - sounds better too. The sniper rifle looks better too with a little viewscreen on the gun (ah the details). Rocket homing... better pistols (imo), and the new SMG... I also like the aim checking screen for weapons w/o a zoom function. I LOVE IT. The multiplayer levels are amazing - and that you can explore them w/o any other players is a nice touch. WE MUST PLAY WASTEBALL SHADOW!!! ;D

I like how they redid what the aliens say...
Grunts don't seem (barely) as cowardly...
"Die Monkey!" ...priceless ;D
Was awkward (for about 2 seconds) that the aliens spoke the language so well - but it grew on me...
And what they did to BloodGulch... *drool*

But there are a few new ones that you'll like. ;D

Sarendipity, the only reason you won wasteball was because I snuck around and kept Shadow from holding on to the ball. ;D Was a team effort.

I beat it today. I thought the last two levels were kinda easy compared to the rest of the game.
