Halo 2 was the title that made me what I am today. I remember going back to school and playing this thing over and over again on my crappy overheating laptop because it was 10 times more fun than Combat Evolved. The music selection it's just, perfect, everything about this game is. Play it now.
'Sir? Permission to leave the station.'
'For what purpose, Master Chief?'
'To give the Covenant back their bomb.'

Am actually the main character of this game
I feel like I’d have enjoyed this game a lot more as a kid rather than now. The gunplay is fluid & fantastic and the gun variety is solid, almost every gun here feels well designed and balanced. The soundtrack is immaculate, lends heavily into its setting & the circumstances of the story & makes a lot of these explosive scenes and moments feel much grander than what they honestly really are. Speaking of the story, it’s… okay? I’ll be honest, I just wasn’t remotely invested in any of these characters or their stories, there was no hook here and the climax & ending made me feel nothing. This game was essentially a shooting gallery for me and as a shooting gallery… still not all that amazing either. While the gunplay is great, the level design wasn’t as well polished. So many levels are just frustratingly designed with annoying enemy spam, and when the late game hits with the brutes it becomes even worse. Maybe the co-op input lag made it feel a lot worse than it should, but it wasn’t very fun getting one or two-shot with a 1 second delay on firing. There are parts of this game that have aged well, and others that feel like a product of its time period. As great as the game looks and feels at times, its taken away by its bizarre and frustrating design. Yet even then, still liked it a lot more than my short time with Combat Evolved. Hope the series shows improvements from hereon, especially the story.
Man. 2004.
they just didn’t miss making these games.
Fun but not a Halo fan
Sniper Jackals
Kind of frustraiting at parts
Thinking about Halo makes me emotional. Halo 2 in particular was my shit. Getting owned online, enjoying the amazing story and world building of the campaign. They don't miss with these games.
I dare you to replay this game without the remastered cutscenes and look me dead in the eyes and still say this game has the best story in the franchise.
Surely halo 3 can't be better than this
Close to a masterpiece for me, last act could have used a bit of polishing but it was incredibly interesting to play as the covenant. Seeing the enemy's perspective is important when you're writing a war story like this one.
Never cared 4 this halo game. The level design was wack. Sniper Jackals were a nuisance. The Weapon loadout was attrocious. Even the multiplayer maps were doing too much.
Master Chief scares the enemy with a boo
Masterchef sola e salva o universo mais uma vez!! 🔥🔥
Halo 1 but better

Considero o mais fraco da trilogia da Bungie, apesar de expandir a história na perspectiva dos Covenants com o Arbiter, o que considero um ponto positivo, porém o cliffhanger no final me desagradou bastante, entendo os motivos pois a Microsoft queria que o jogo fosse entregue rapidamente, o que acabou estragando o final. É um jogo que corrige alguns erros do primeiro, como fases excessivamente longas, mas acaba criando outros, como o Flood ser excessivamente pior de se lidar. O arsenal maior do jogo torna ele ainda mais divertido que o anterior, e se não fosse o final repentino esse jogo teria uma campanha bem melhor.
For a brick , he flew pretty good !
mm mm mm. This is that SHIT.
"To give the Covenant back their bomb"
They fall in line, one at a time, ready to play
(I can't see them anyway)
No time to lose, we've got to move, steady your hand
(I am losing sight again)
Fire your guns, it's time to run, blow me away
(I will stay in the mess I made)
After the fall, we'll shake it off, show me the way
Only the strongest will survive
Lead me to heaven when we die
I am a shadow on the wall
I'll be the one to save us all
There's nothing left, so save your breath, lying in wait
(Caught inside this tidal wave)
Your cover's blown, nowhere to go, holding your fate
(Lonely, I will walk alone)
Fire your guns, it's time to run, blow me away
(I will stay in the mess I made)
After the fall, we'll shake it off, show me the way
Only the strongest will survive
Lead me to heaven when we die
I am a shadow on the wall
I'll be the one to save us all
Wanted it back
Don't fight me now
Here it comes
Die
Only the strongest will survive
Lead me to heaven when we die
I am a shadow on the wall
I'll be the one to save us all
Save us all

The game shooters should strive to be like but even more so
Why are we still here? Just to suffer?

A great campaign overall. While some of the arbiter missions can feel like a drag at times, that's really the only negative I can offer. The evolution from Halo 1 to this is night and day. Its a campaign that has aged like a fine wine and continues to give me a smile anytime I play it
The multiplayer is phenomenal. I can't say enough good things about it. I can't talk too much about the online experience since I only got to play a couple rounds through my xbox 360 before they shut down the servers. Playing through services like XLink Kai though has shown me this multiplayer still holds up to this day
While I will never wish the development cycle this game went through on anyone, I do hope we can get another timeless masterpiece like this at some point down the line

An amazing game! Gunplay is fun, and a major step up from the original. An enemy ran at me and yelled "monkey!" Only complaint is playing it on Xbox 360, a graphics issue causes ghosting like effects frequently on the screen, that usually fixes when switching areas. I get that this was a problem with the 360 and not game itself, but definitely play on the original, or master chief collection.
this was fucking cinema
