I have not yet finished it either.. then again, I've only put about two hours into co-op, and I don't own the game either.. my fiancee's brother owns it, so I've played it with him once..

I havent. I dont like rushing through games, I prefer playing one or maybe two hours per day at max. And I have been playing on Live too...and little bit of Flatout also.

I haven't even touched the campaign yet. LAN and Live are just too much fun, and I have no desire to play the boring first level (which I've watched being played in its entirety).

I'm on the level
but not really far beyond the beginning. I haven't really played much in multiplayer either. Too busy with stuff.
I kinda doubt I'll really commit myself to Halo 2 anyway. Half-Life 2 is just around the corner and I know it'll take up more of my free time than Halo 2 will.
where you're that elite

Yesterday I played that level with the old castle... holy shit the music was awesome when you got the tank and had to drive over that little bridge, and then drive inside the castle ruins. I felt almost majestetic when I blasted those poor little banshees and covenants. :lol

I'm still waiting for my copy of the UK Limited Edition. It was sent to me last tuesday and usually takes 5 working days from Jersey to Austria. It should be in my hands by monday/tuesday.

Just had a look at the official Xbox forums, (I was looking for info on system linking Xboxes). There is a mega amount of hate towards halo 2, I think its mostly people without Xboxes logging on and trolling but I was blown away.
I played SP three nights in a row on Heroic and now I'm done. The story wasn't as bad as most people said. Actually, most of the story was interesting and well told. The later levels can get very hard on Heroic. But there are tricks that I found you can use to make some of them easier.

I'm pretty far into SP, although I've been playing MP a LOT more. Some of the firefights are extremely memorable in SP, but a lot of the maps are a tad confusing the first time around. At times I could have used a compass or map of sorts.

I haven't yet. I got pretty far into it, then stopped playing in favor of Mario Power Tennis, which I did for a straight five hours or more last night. Tried Live for a while, but to no avail. I'll try in a few weeks after Prime 2 and the DS.

I too have not finished the Campaign mode. My weight of Heresy has stayed my feet. The reason for not finishing is not due to multiplayer - it's due to the actual Campaign - it's too fun, and I take it too seriously. If I die at anytime I must start again. For the glory of mother-earth. Nevertheless, it's mad fun - has anyone noticed that in some levels they're up to 3 different paths to take? Once I got onto 'the ruins', i have not played the same scenario within that level. Much props to Bungie. My sacrifice will not go unrecorded...

uhh, I go to Xbox.com all the time. What hate do you speak of? The only hate I've really seen is people upset that it's not compatible with their widescreen tv. For me, it fits perfectly though.
But people with problems are always going to be more vocal then those that don't have any.siamesedreamer

I'm on level 14. I played levels 1-12 on heroic, but I dropped down to normal so I can finish it and get into the multiplayer. I haven't touched the MP because I don't want anyone who has beaten the game to spoil anything for me.
Yeah, I think the reviews that say this game is 10-12 hours are total bullshit. I have easily put in 20 hours on heroic. I think reviewers need to quit pussying around and up the difficulty when they review things. On chapter 13 I blew through it in about 45 minutes on normal. Every level before on heroic took me at least 2 hours.
This game does blow everything away in the first Halo (pop ups aside).

I played the first couple campaign missions and wasn't impressived.
The gameplay in HALO just isn't that fun to me. I much prefer the single player aspects of TS2 and Goldeneye.
The multiplayer, however, rocks more than I ever thought it would. I didn't like HALO's multiplayer but I'm having fun here.

I think this is the music used.

It's called Heretic, Hero. I loved it before the game came out and was hoping it would be used well, and it was used better than I could have ever hoped. Marty uses music that generally goes against the usual mold, to stirring effect.

Man legendary is harsh. Made my way through the first couple areas with no problem, but once I hit the landing bay I hit the wall.

I got stuck on that checkpoint for the whole week, until last night when I decided that I won't sleep until I beat that level. And indeed I did beat it
Now the 2nd level...one sniper hit = DEATH. Fucking ridiculous. I'm loving the difficulty though, I feel so satisifed when I get to the next checkpoint
I also went right to heroic. No point in pussing out on normal. I don't know how many hours I've put into it, but it is vastly superior to Halo in every respect.
Taking the scorpion through the city tunnel is one of my most memorable experiences in gaming. I like how Bungie tried to fool me into think I couldn't take that bitch over the barrier... no sir, that baby can climb. Put a wrecked vehicle in front of it to give me a boost and then went right over.

I took that part on foot, then hopped in a Warthog for about 1/2 of it (the warthog had an...accident. Not my fault, I was on gunner.).
It's sections like that I'll play over and over, using the different vechiles and even trying them on foot. This game is gonna have SP replay value like nobody's business.
I've beat it, storyline was great
, though it helps that I'm just getting it online this weekend.
The first few missions in Halo 2 are absolute shit compared to the later levels, but are still better than the best levels of Halo. Seriously, I don't know how they did it but every level in Halo 2 is better than every other FPS I've played.
So damn awesome single player, going to try bumping it up to Legendary when my brother and I get together to play this week.
except the big cliffhanger ending

i haven't., thanks to BUngies wierdass saving system. Played for about 4 hours last night after renting it, turned it off thinking "Hey, i just got up to a save point and a new chapter (where the little subtitle appears)" and when i boot it up again this morning, what do you know? I have to start the whole fucking level all over again.
