Hey reno.
Halo 2 does have a fun multiplayer mode, yes the vehicles are about the best in any game to date, and the people that play it are generally nice. But (and there's always a but) It plays slowly, and does not feel like you are running, the control systems is lagy and cumbersome, that and its about the only game even worth thinking about playing on Xbox, which hurts the wallet. But what really lets halo 2 down, is its single player mode, halo had an ok single player, that was chalenging and, sometimes, fun, to play. Halo2 is not fun to play, its like the end of halo1, but all the way through, samey and boring.
It could have been great, but there are some unavoidable thing that let it down.
Anyway, from what ive seen, i think halo is like marmite....You either love it, or hate it.
I hate it....for those of you that haven't gathered that already, lol.

I totally disagree about Halo 2's single
player being boring - on the contrary I find it to be far more varied
and exciting than Halo 1 (albeit with less "wow" factor, due to the
fact its not as brand spanking new as Halo was). I don't see how you
could say Halo 2 is more samey than Halo 1 - don't you remember the
repeating rooms of the covenant ship, or the library?! Halo 2 rarely
re-uses any room with the exception of a couple of chapters, and even
then at least they feature some differences between them. I've
completed it on Heroic and while it wasn't that hard, it was
challenging and I rarely felt I was breezing through it. I'm looking
forward to having more time on my hands so I can play it through on
legendary
