Halo 2 would probably sell more copies than that game though... I'd like to see the numbers nonetheless.

See thats why you have the roomate with the PS2. He buys GTA and I buy Halo 2. Unfortunately, he decided that Halo 2 will be a much better game anyway, and is waiting to buy San Andreas until we're sick of Halo 2. Then, just this morning he decided he might buy an X-Box and Halo 2 so we could have head to head. Just gives you an idea of how awesome this game is supposed to be.

I put down a deposit for Halflife2 today and skipped halo, the guy at the counter thought i was nuts but the truth is, if you have a good computer this is going to be the best game of the year

Xbox LANS are hecka fun. It's alot easier than trying to coordinate a PC LAN. A lot less messy and so you can do it more frequently so I find. I'm having 5-6 friends come over my place tonight and we're going to link on xbc with about 3-5 others. Should be tight!

already upgraded the computer for doom 3 (graphics were the only draw other than the infamous name) and graphic design programs, so it's all set for half life. the first game was one of the best video games ever made, the story was told so perfectly.

Well, I've been playing since I got home from worl just over three hours ago and am on the tenth level. 
This game is pretty friggin sick. The graphics are taken up a few notches and the new sound effects are incredible. The only grip I have so far is the 'double fisting' of the smaller weapons. It seems cool at first, but the changing can get pretty anoying along with the fact that you can't throw granades and you throw the second gun when you melee. WTF is that all about? I was the KING of the melee. Oh well. I can't wait to play some multi player. The zanzibar map looks pretty sick.

p.s. in the zanzibar level you can hide in the 'hub' of the 'wheel' which I bet will allow for some pretty sick hidden pot shots. Try it out.

Only up to level 8, but so far, for me, it's not as mind blowing as Halo 1. Don't get me wrong...it still kicks soooo much ***, and co-op is still insanely fun...but it's like comparing Matrix Reloaded to the very first time you watch Matrix. BTW, I'm not enjoying the Covenant stages as much as I thought I would.

after about 4 + hours of multiplayer last night I have to say it's a worthy sequel. It still has a few quirks about it... but that's just because it's fresh and new. I remember the same feelings about halo and it took time for it to become so FREAKING TIGHT... to me that is.
The weapons are cool, the graphics are cool, the maps will take some time to get used to... the game play is different... yet the same. Hard to explain however with time I see this as the game to hold me another 3 years.
I'm still getting used to setting up a friggin game initially though... I'm down to around 10-15 seconds on setting up a game now.
