I have to heartily agree with Link on this one. The game is very much like the first. I think the only place where those two critical new features are prominant are on Legendary and in multiplayer. Besides that, the single player game was too short and left too much to be answered. As a matter of fact, I'd have to say it's the worst video game ending since Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. But hey, maybe that's just me.

All around, I'm not dissing Halo 2 at all. It's a good game, and I'll play it for the multiplayer for a long time. But I utterly disagree with the conclusion that Halo 2 is a huge improvement over Halo. There honestly needs to be a v1.1 update that adds the features they removed from the beta builds of Halo 2 (i.e. leaning, going to prone, realistic shadow-casting) available to people on Xbox Live or even in an update disc.
