Halo 2
So, what ive been up to lately. Mostly catching up with school, only two more papers to write. Horray.
Other than that, I got Halo 2 at midnight madness yesterday. It's excellent. There were a few disapointments, a few let downs, a few things i was not happy about, or expected different, but i got over it, and i really do appreciate the game for how it is. The multiplayer levels are amazing, the amount of 'stuff' in them blows all the levels from Halo CE away.
The duel wielding of weapons is a nice feature, but it still could use some improvements. it would be nice if you could switch from holding two weapons to holding your reserve weapon in one step. or drop your second weapon to throw a granade. i also think all the single handed weapons that you can duel wield should be able to stay in your left hand while you use your right hand to melee. after all, you dont need your left hand to do it.
other than that, i have very few problems with the controls themselves. and i love the new weapons. *except the smg* Another thing that gets to me is that if you've ever tested it, although the melee combo feature was cut, there is a small bit of it left in the code. if you melee with a weapon that makes Master Cheif pull his left hand back push his right hand and the butt of the gun into the person, (shotgun, all rifles, brute shot) he will somtimes put the gun in different directions randomly (up, left or up and left.) the more left oriented the gun is, the faster it resets for another melee, when the gun goes left, if you time it right you actually can melee twice faster than you can with the beam sword. i dont think i like this *glitch* as im calling it.
The banshee lost alot of its ability now that it can hover the same way the old model could. and the warthog used to be able to power slide depending on how you moved the controls, now you have to pull the left trigger, im sure ill get used to this, but until i do, i think it was easier the other way.
also, boxer is now a useless button settup, *its practly impossible to shoot a gun with the b button and move at the same time. I beat it yesterday morning, it was an EXCELLENT story, it kept me guessing and i still have so many questions. I guess you could call this a spolier, but im kind of upset about it ending before the story was finished, i guess everyone wants to make more money, and a halo 3 will do just that for bungie.
Now thats about everything i didnt like that is of any signifigance, but what i do like, man, this update would be too long. its definatly a good game to have waited for. I tried to play on legendary, im stuck on the first level, its unbelievably hard. but ill get it. well thats my video game update, i could write more but i wanted this to be an upbeat update, and this seemed to be the only thing i was upbeat about. Or maybe its just what im thinking about. have fun playing.
