Idk i liked it, it had it's faults, but i think it has great multiplayer...yes the story sucked...what i wish is that they had halo 1, with all the weapons and vehicles duel wielding and other features in halo 2 and put them together, that would be an awesome game, or something that had all the multiplayer arenas rom both games, and all the weapons from both games, and all the vehicles into both games, i mean what type of army in two months just sporadically changes it's weapons, then maybe they could also add in some of halo 2 or the whole thing since it's so short...i think this game was run out the door quickly, but they did start halo 3 about halfway through halo 2s making, so maybe we'll some great things happen better, and im sure the negativity will chagne some things, but after all said and done they got how many million preorders, and 50 bucks per person, some 55...but i think all in all, it was a great game, i think the mulitplayer is one of the best to be found, i think it was better then okay, and i don't think it was bad and trash...great was the only option, i think it's just good...but halo and halo 2 combined now that would be awesome...having both the assualt rifle and the battle rifle, or both the pistol and magnum duel wielded, wow the possibilities...but i think if you follow the story and look at clues there is a whole time space continuum, so it's possible to go bakc to halo 1 with an altered story, i could get in about the time continuum, but you want more information check out the forums at bungies site
