    Oh Jesus Christ... What have they done? There is <i>punk rock</i> on the Halo 2 soundtrack... if it's in the game, I'm going to take on a whole new understanding as to why most of Bungie is leaving the company when Halo 2 is done. Seriously, as far as I'm concerned Hoopastank or whatever and the rest of 'em can burn in hell while I'm killing those Covie bastards.

    Please, go to a record store, pick up some albums by Rancid or Lars Fredriksen & The Bastards and learn what punk is before you attempt to talk about something you have no idea about.

    As for Halo 2, i'll give it a shot, i hope they fixed the things that made the first game mediocre which everyone claims is because they were pressured into release.

    There is a difference between Punk and Punk rock.

    Punk Rock = Pop Rock. Good Charlotte, Sum 41, Green Day.

    Punk = Rancid and the such.

    ...I know. It sucks.

    And if it's in Halo 2 I'm going to go on a rampage of random violence.

    My apologies to anyone whose musical tastes I offended - the only stuff I listen to is trance, classical, and occasionally rap.

    I did put a long rant about what punk is and such, but no, that's not relevant here. All i will say is, Quanaut, please don't preach about what punk is to someone with more punk cds than you've ever seen.

    Oh this is good news, indeed!
    I played halo for a very long time, the co-op mode was great fun.

    Woot now all I have to do is wait a year for it to come out on pc.

    On a side note its nice to find some people in the world who arn't Halo fanboys and yet still like the game.
  • TommyVercettiTommyVercetti Join Date: 2003-02-10 Member: 13390Members, Constellation, Reinforced - Shadow
    Amen. I <3 Halo, and I believe Halo 2 is going to be <b><u>my</b></u> ideal shooter, a notch above the rest.

    I'm not a fanboy, because I'm not declaring it better, but I do believe it will be my fave for a long, long time.
  • ZigZig ...I am Captain Planet&#33; Join Date: 2002-10-23 Member: 1576Members
    what characterizes a fanboy?
  • TommyVercettiTommyVercetti Join Date: 2003-02-10 Member: 13390Members, Constellation, Reinforced - Shadow
    edited October 2004
    My personal definition of a fanboy is one who professes the excellence of his obcession to be superior to that of rivals, no matter what the facts or truths of the matter. For example, a Xbox fanboy might contend that the Xbox is better than the PC because its controller is better than a mouse and keyboard - but that's just an opinion. I don't know, they're hard to define as they come in many intensities and flavors, but you know them when you see them.

    I would say that i'm a fan of halo, no fanboy but a real fan.
    I think that a fanboy bashes other games, while fans just say how they love it.

    --------------------
    BTW I really did like HALO, for all of you who were involved in the Metroid thread, I just hate it when people go specifically to another game thread to declare themselves.

    Halo 1 minus the flood was good fun. Multiplayer is really what made it for me in that game though, since I played so much of it during the summer.
