So, like another million people, I hoped on the Halo 2 bandwagon.
Incredible game.
I started by playing about 5 hours of single player (sorry, I consider this an adiction that I need to cut down on), I was enthrawled. Did I want to start multiplayer? Was it going to be any good?
I had played the Beta version and it was great, but could it be better than the single player campaign?
In the first Halo, I didn't care much for multiplayer (maybe that's because on the same xbox the split screens were too small, or lugging my xbox over to someone else's house was a pain).
So I fire it up.
WOW! It's awesome! Faster loading times than the beta, and you can build parties! This means you and your friends operate like a group and travel from game to game together, how cool is that! now you have someone to talk to through the loading times.
Just when I think the game can't get any better, I find out about this website http://www.bungie.net/stats. Not only do they have live stats on what's going on, but you can link your passport to your gamertag and get your specific stats!
Now this is awesome, I was never high enough on the scales for other games to come NEAR the top of the list, so I never got to see my results online! Now I can, and so can you! Check out Agressic, which is my gamertag.
I wouldn't say that I'm that good, but at least it's fun. The coolest part is the Game Viewer, once you're looking at a specific game, you can see all the places you killed someone, versus when they killed you. You can see the path the flags took for CTF or the bomb for Assault.
As my buddy at work says .. "it's as if I was there!"
