The AI is totally redone for solo.
Instead of the enemy waiting for you to come into a certian area, before it begins to do anything.
Now the AI is able to do it from all over, and even call for back up.
It probably isn't as deep as HL2, but for a console game, there is none deeper.
No FPS on any console can touch the solo game play of Halo2. You would have to look towards HL2 to have a better experience.
The multiplayer rules any console link up, PERIOD.
And Halo2 blows any multiplayer of Doom3 or HL2 out of the water.
Thier are new weapons in Halo2. But the most important thing, is they reworked all of the originals. Now the weapons are balanced, from what I hear.
The needle gun, is actually good. The sniper has a kick to it. The pistol is no longer the dominate weapon. You can carry and fire 2 weapons at a time.
All of the vehicles are usuable, and they can be blown up, and they have a turbo boost.Plus they added different weapons to them. Much
I hear the graphics are alot better, as to be expected. Which the first halo is still better than any other FPS on any other console.
And now it is that much better.
They have put in alot of game modes, many of which is still a secret.
My friend who downloaded the game, said they now have multiple teams in the same battle. Just imagine 4 teams of 4, fighting each other.
Plus the game has been influenced by other awesome games.
Ghost Recon(from what I hear, they have a siege type game, awesome)
RS3( halo did away with power ups[invisiblility, mega shields], and there is no health packs, plus everyone dies with less amount of hits, and they now have rag doll effects)
These new changes(no powerups, all weapons are powerful, no health) make the game that much deeper. Because no longer do you feel you have to get to section A or B to get the sniper or rocket launcher.
You can just go with what you have, and still be effective.
You don't have to worry about guarding that health pack, shield pack, spot in order to be the "most" effective.
Those things, which are found in all "arcade" type FPS, make the game black and white. Because whoever controlled those the most, ended up winning the most.
In Halo2, their will be more AI coming at you, than any other FPS on console. We are talking armys coming after you.
Remember how you drooled over the new Zelda, where the army is marching in the back ground. Well that is peanuts compared to the massive amounts of AI coming to kill you.
No my Christian friends, this is no ordinary game.
The only thing that can stop the hype of Halo2, is lag. Even with that, it won't stop the solo player, nor the mega amounts of hours at lan partys, and lan tournys.
Whoever pwns at this game, can write their own meal ticket. And that is no joke.
Whatever team dominates this game, will be the Tony Hawk of the videogame business.
This game is going to slam in the videogame revolution!
