Gentlemen, I have tried it for that matter, I played for a ottal of 2 hours and I was not impressed, although zach and I rarely agree on something why spend such a huge amount on this game and next gen when I can play Mario on the nes... I mean if I'm going to spend the money on the console I want next gen experiences... WHy would I buy a wii with a game that doesn't use the new controller? It would be useless, just like Halo 3 will be! It takes more than cool weapons, and features to make a new game! I mean I will buy it for SP but thats probably just about it since there are plenty of other games that surpass it!
I actually found Halo 2's replay value horrible, I mean I ran through campaign with ease, online was fun an addictive at the time.... But over time you grow really tired of how much of a shatty experience it was, the glitches, the lack of balance was horrendous. But as I said it was revolutionary for its time. Halo 3 looks to be the same thing, which compared to alot of the newer games is nothing, the game engine, the physics are now out of date... Alot of people crap over this game (Halo 2) and now Halo 3, but really I'm not seeing why. I mean i will be first to tell you its one of the best SP experiences in an FPS i've ever had, and I love the Halo Universe, I am in no way a hatter! Halo 2 was good because it was the only game worth playing on xbox live and the only game that really made it somewhere on xbox live. Yet compared to all these new games Halo 2 is scrap! Everyone says Gears and all those other games will loose their audience wrong. Halo already has lost their audience....
Halo 2 is amazing, best replay value and online experience of any game ever (and I'm primarily an RPG fan). Every single online game is unique, requires new adaptations of strategy, and is just as intense as the previous game. I'm happy for Halo 3 but I'm not thrilled about the Halo community being divided between Halo 2 and 3 - I like the size of the halo 2 community right now, just enough to find matches quickly and with unique participants. Who knows though, it will certainly be interesting to see
