They did a good job, however, I think they didnt try their hardest on the story. Everything else is sweet I think. The graphics could be better. They need to get the people who do the stories and script from the people who do KOTOR and KOTOR 2...There are tons of other good writers as far as that goes but they come to my mind right now.

Actually the story and the game play was lacking as i said it gets very repetitive and kotor ii was a major dissappointment

As we all know, Half Life 2 and UT2004 are the kings of shooters still :D

I never thought that KOTOR was that good in the first place... everyone keeps saying how great the story was and it honestly makes me sad. The story was simple, the dialogue (exception for the satanic robot) was limp dick and unorigional... and well... though the fighting and force powers were cool, the game lacked trillions of items I tend to expect from a good RTS game. True Vampires Bloodlines, which I loved, had even less stuff... but the story and dialogue were so much better that the game held through on that alone.


For those that are between games and don't mind slumming to the old pre 3d days... I suggest Planescape Torment. You should be able to pick it up from the discount game sites for about 5~9 dollars... the game is literally the best RTS game ever. I'm totally serious here... The story... the game play... It takes a while to get into like a good big book... but once you're about a quarter into it you know you're playing a master peice... and half way through you'd sell your left lung just keep it going. It also ends very well...


Anyway, happy trails in fantasy land, Karmashock.

Actually.

I'm fairly sure that the story for Halo 2 was switched / changed toward the end of the developement.

The manuals blobs of backround hint to a blockaded Earth where our navy has been wiped out, and the gameplay footage we saw earlier was NOTHING at ALL like what the game eventually turned out to be.

My guess is they split/altered the story to get in the sequal, which from the looks of things at the end of the 2nd will probably be along the lines of what the 2nd's origional campaign was.

So I have high hopes for the Halo 3. Also, Mplay on XBox Live owns. It's freakishly awesome, laser and I have been whooping ass.

SHHHH Bent! Your making me so freakin jealous! "*")&"*/("ç"%çéà£è! (Can you tell im typing on a swiss keyboard??)

MPlay ROCKS. Keeper is being way too critical. Id like to see him make a game that beats halo 2 lol.

You may be right in your theory bent, the old Mombasa was WAY cooler looking. I would have loved to play that.

Here is a quote from the developers about when they were thinking up story lines and level designs (The vid where I heard this was showing a few of the guys from Bungie in a small room, some guys sitting down another one was writing the ideas and level designs on a white board). Something like:

"We would bang our heads on the white board and call eachother assholes...."

P.S. I think karma is a vampire.

I agree Halo 2 on XBL is awesome. Me and friends waste hours on that easily.

The shit talking 10 year olds gets lame though.

Bent/Laser add me to your friends/clan. Clan I'm in now does nothing, I want some organized clan vs clan action.

:) You can always shoot the little buggers in the face with a shotgun. You have to betray them twice to get kicked.

Most of them don't realize that, MUHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA

you know... there are some easy ways to get them to shut up...

I've found that straight out saying their insults suck and are used yup beyond tired shuts them up about 75% of the time. but more like 90% of the time it at least makes them flounder. adding something more, like "come back when you come up with something worth saying, and not the same BS all the other losers are spouting"

I havn't had much problems after using those kinds of lines. most of them leave completely. and if you ever see them again, razz them for it as soon as they start "hey look, it's that little kid with the lame insults" they either shut up or leave... most of the time they just seem to shut up and play.

now you know... use this power wisely :P

i ve rented the game for a couple of days .


the 2 hand wielding is cool but to be honoust it should have been standard in halo1 to start with.

i want more guns , its hard to believe that a race that has mastered spacetravel has crappier handheld guns then the earthbound troops .


this was maybe an overhyped game but i think major online clan action could be very cool . i really hope we get an pc halo2 div in the future .


and for all you critical bastards ...... i have started playing games when bloody PONG got out .

so i think halo2 is bleeping amazing .


i jerry springered my respons to make sure i dont get MVB/stealth/angel in trouble for offending our younger members
