Message: <blockquote data-quote="Raloc" data-source="post: 2044335" data-attributes="member: 28093">Halo 2 was very short and made most of the same mistakes as the first game (repetitive indoor areas, annoying enemies (read: The Flood)). That said, I think it was a very well made game, and most of it was fun (aside from the parts I hated about the first game (read: The Flood)). If you can, buy a JoyFrag mouse/keyboard adapter to play it, as it will greatly enhance the fun (since the control scheme is crap). As far as the story goes, I thought it was a definite improvement over the first game. The multiplayer is fun IF you manage to get into one of the few games that isn't simply an ego trip for the server starter (i.e. Rocket Launchers/Sniper Rifles only, and a map you can fall to your death on).Half Life 2 is the better game in my opinion, because it is more polished. The gameplay is *more* fun for me than in Halo 2, and much more exciting. Halo 2 seems to lose its edge around the time you've killed 30,000 of The Flood, and want to smash your Xbox because they're so annoying. Half Life 2 never had me frustrated as I was when playing parts of Halo and Halo 2 (especially the parts where they feel the need to make it pitch black, with monotonous grey walls everywhere).I run my games on a custom built water cooled machine, all settings highest.</blockquote>
