Halo 2 'basically done'

[DrSpike]

I'm going to be playing HL2.

When is the damn thing coming out anyway? As I speak, it's still TBA. Man do they have lousy management down at Valve...

Halo one was not the greatest FPS ever. Sure the first player was fun, but multiplayer devolves into overshield-rocket launcher or shotgun every game. I think its popular in multiplayer simply because its what everyone has.

I can see how many MP games you've played.

Halo 2? Nov. 9th.

[Nostromo]

No HL 2

End of November's the last I heard of it, the release candidate's supposed to be in Vivendi's hands now. Before Christmas in all likelihood. (Where have we heard this before?)

Kassiopeia,

I know it's a little off-topic, but where is your avatar from?

It's meant to portary the young incarnation of a character from a Japanese animation series called Neon Genesis Evangelion. The source of the image is an artbook from the character designer of the series.

It looks sort of like it comes out of a 70s style Super Robot anime. I've actually seen NGE+EoE. I can't really tell who that is though... maybe Gendo Ikari?

And, on topic... I would be surprised if Halo 2 really turned out to be better than Halflife 2. Especially when you consider the whole MOD community thing.

[Kassiopeia]

I don't think comparing the two really flies, Halo 2 is just in its own element on the XBox. HL2 will doubtless blow the pants off of any future PC port, I'd say. (Oh and it's Gendo, yes.)

Some games are so good, they don't need mods to be playable.

Halo2 'basically pirated!!' news on the bbc here .

Half-life and now this? whats up with all this - and do the guys who leak the games get anything for it(apart from jail when caught)?

Not a big deal, you need to illegally modify your Xbox to be able to use it, and you can't use online play.
