    I found the Halo 1 SP campaign to be incredibly dull after a certain point...
    Could never understand why so many people enjoyed it... especially after The Flood gets released and you wandered around in corridors for 10 hours.... urgh...

    Halo 1 MP on the other hand is fun all round at lan parties~

The only applicable reason for the health to be by the MT is in MP...since the Covies aren't very adept at hiding and running away from you. So, in conclusion: Halo 2's HUD looks like it's designed like crap (compared to Halo's).


    The less intrusive the HUD is the better. It shouldn't take up the whole screen. It should take a corner and you shouldn't need to look in 3 different corners to get basic information. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
    I'd have to agree with you, I preferred the Halo 1 HUD. The shield indicator is just really oddly placed.

    ...despite the fact some of the textures in those videos look a bit bland. Topography always looks so sharp though...plus the intro movie looks like it will have interesting levels (MP levels look designed well, but a bit bland in spots...video quality is also kind of poor). <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
    When you only have a little bit of memory to cram your textures into, they don't look so hot. GG unupgradeable consoles.

    killzone was hardly anything to write home about. it was cool, but honestly, watching these H2 previews and gameplay footage vids is more fun than actually playing killzone. killzone is freaking CLUNKY. and at times, very ugly. and the voice acting is annoying. don't get me wrong, it's a cool game, but like i said, nothing to write home about.

    Gamespot gives Halo 2 9.4, xbox forums explode

    Well at least it's mixed. Gamespot usually is very lenient in scores, yes, but it works both ways. People who are like "OMG 7 IS TEH AVERAGE!11" are morons. 7 is NOT average. 7 is painful to play even for someone who likes the genre. Any lower than 7, the more you're wishing for death while playing it.

    On a similar note, 9.4 is very good. You have to go by relative. It's like saying "OMG GAEM INFORMAR GAVE TONY HAWK HIGHER" when that game came out years ago. Judging by the words in the review, I'm assuming they scored it higher than they should. Same with Gamespy.

    Lord knows why they remodeled the puma to have <i>less</i> polies than the original.

    The light flares from the sun look absolutely horrible. Honestly, Hard Truck from 1998 had better light flares <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    The sky looks nice. So do the shadows, but not the concrete wall in the back.
