I played Halo. I beat Halo. I replayed some of the levels several times. No, I didn't go over and over it again, but I shouldn't have to do that to notice the "little changes" that apparently differentiate the sequel so much from the original. I believe I played Halo enough (and not all
that long ago, either) to be able to notice anything that would make the gameplay experiences hardly the same. I just don't see it.

It doesn't really matter in itself. I've just seen some people (not necessarily people on this board) make a semi-big deal out of the dual wielding; they proclaimed how cool it was going to be and such. To me, I just didn't see how it was a big deal at all. It is an improvement, and it does add to the game, but it wasn't anything new. It just felt like to me some people were giving Halo more credit for the dual wielding than the game deserved.
And I'd like to play online, but I don't have XBox Live, nor do I really want it. I've never been into multiplayer too much, and going online with a console just seems like too much of a hassle for something I'd only use once in a while.
