Although Eurogamer in the main is a decent site the Halo2 statement make them look slightly foolish. Saying Halo2 is only in their top 10 because of political reasons, and that fact they would gat hassle? On about going with your instincts. For me Halo2 should be in the top 10 quite eaisly, it still for me has the best battles in any FPS in the some of the best designed levels with fantastically balanced weapons against enemy with great AI. I'm about 3/4 through finsihing HL2 for the 2nd time, I want make sure I fully experience this game and I think I have now. Yep its got some great areas where you can use the enviroment to cause great great damage and destruction but and I haven't seen this pointed out strongly before, it feels (and to me is) more linear than Halo2 by a long shot. The gun battles are nowhere near the standard of halo2 nor is the AI. In some area's the fights feel postively cheap in comparison with enemies poping out of nowhere whilst other areas shooting one explosive barrel takes out a whole squadren. It is still a great game but I'm having trouble finding the greatness places like Eurogemer and Edge have placed on it and at the same having trouble understand the backlash Halo2 is receive. But hey opinions are like arseholes, we all have one.
