I like all the new weapons/veichals and how you can play as the covenat in multi. I hope I can be a grunt instead of an elite though. I LOVE GRUNTS!

Yes you should be able to be grunts... and marines. I was thinking for online they should have 4 player co-op (like rainbow six). And only one person could be master cheif, and the rest would be marines. Making team work key.

Another big thing on my mind is the emblem editor. I always make awesome emblems on games that allow it. Like on those tuneup car games, I always have the sweetest emblem... the autobot symbol. but for Halo 2, I'm going to be starting my own clan, that I want to have bomber girls for emblems. i thinked it'd be mighty awesome.

An example of a bad emblem editor... well Moto GP 2 dissapointed me... a lot. I wanted to have the silouhette of a naked girl on the side of my bike... but all you can do on there is make shapes and text.... boo. I couldn't even make an autobot emblem with that editor.

But back to Halo 2. It's gotta be game of the year..... I'm really hoping it lives up to all they've said.

I like how they didn't f**k up double weilding. Halo always had this sense of hyper realism. Could only carry two guns at a time, fire only one weapon at once, that sort of thing. My heart actually fell when I saw that Halo 2 was going to have double weilding. Thankfully, they have kept it to a realistic level. Only smaller weapons can be used in this way, and you can't mele when double weilding, or throw grenades. Two weapons at a timne is still your limit, which is good.

I also like how they are dealinng with health this time around. Now, you have to rely on your sheilds to absorb the damage, as once they are gone, your health goes down extremely quickly. The sheilds can take more damage, but your health takes much much less before dying.

All of your enemies are smarter, but so are your allies. Yay, they can drive the vehicles! You also have some new covenant weapons this time around, including a covenant grenade launcher and assult weapon, and they have made the needler a weapon you will WANT to use, especially in multiplayer. Looking forward to it.

You can't be grunts in multiplayer, only elites. They are the equivalent of a spartan. Although a marines vs grunts mode wouldn't be a bad idea. All vehicles are destructable, and banshees and shades are playable vehicles this time. Sweetness.

ooo man I think I can just add to the extra goodness this sequel will provide. I wasn't too keen on the double weilding either. But you can swap weapons with the marines.... so you don't have to kill the guy with the sniper to get it. And you can also give commands to the marines. So you can keep them much longer. I'm going to be a real dork, and get it at midnight the day before it comes out WOOHAAA!!!.

I can't do that because I have school the next day and neither of my parent would take me. At least I have it reserved.

I have school the next day as well, and so car to boot. Still triing to figure out how i'm going to get to the store. Sad

I wish I could just stay home today and play it all day but I have to go to school and it is a longer day at school too. Damn SSR (All I can do in the class is read) I like reading the Dark Tower and all but not today out of all days.
