Sebagai contoh, sebagian perjanjian senjata menjauhkan diri klip amunisi sekali pakai untuk baterai terkandung, yang tidak bisa diganti jika habis. Namun, senjata-senjata ini dapat menjadi terlalu panas jika dipecat terus untuk waktu yang lama.
Pemain dapat membawa total delapan granat empat manusia granat, empat perjanjian untuk mengusir dan mengganggu musuh. Baru dalam Halo 2 adalah kemampuan untuk naik kendaraan musuh yang berada di dekat pemain dan berjalan pada kecepatan rendah. It registers moving allies and moving or firing enemies and vehicles within a certain radius of the player. When this health meter reaches the zero point level the character dies.
And the player can start the game from a saved checkpoint. Whereas conventional firearms cannot overheat but require reloading and ammunition. In contrast to the large weapon inventories of contemporary FPS games. Covenant an enemy force includes Elites, warriors protected by recharging energy shield similar to the shield as the player has. The secondary enemy is the Flood. The parasitic alien life form that appears in three main variants. Flood warriors are the infected form of humans and Covenants elites.
They have deformed bodies because of this infection. Another group of enemies the Sentinels, robotic drones designed by Forerunners to protect their structures and prevent the damage of Flood outbreaks. Halo 1 was the first Bungie game in five years that didn't have Internet play. You can tell the team hates that--they hate it with all their might--especially because the game was originally designed for online. Microsoft's gaming network just wasn't ready when Halo launched in late , so players had to settle for split-screen or linked-system multiplayer play.
It was still ludicrously fun, just not the kind of experience Bungie wanted. Fast forward to Halo 2's launch a year from now. Xbox Live, Microsoft's broadband-gaming network, will be a year old with its kinks ironed out. Bungie will be able to stop drooling and we can start: Halo 2 will feature online battles between Master Chief characters on one side and Covenant Elite soldiers on the other. The plan is for online to support at least 12 to 16 players.
It'll be nothing less than the total online war Bungie originally envisioned. Bungie has other big plans for Halo 2 multiplayer that they're just not ready to chat about. They know they want to enhance the cooperative mode of the main campaign game, but they probably won't make it playable over the 'Net "That's really hard to do," Jones says. And they've heard all your gripes about the first game's lack of computer-controlled 'bot opponents for multiplayer. We want to do something for them, but I don't know what it's going to be.
We can't wait to try online dogfighting in soaring new vehicles. We can't wait to try multiplayer battles in low gravity.
We can't wait to play as a Covenant Elite wielding a human shotgun. We just can't wait for Halo 2. And the funny thing is, neither can Bungie. Ultimately, that's the numero-uno reason this sequel should turn out great. As fun and polished as the first Halo was, most of the game came together in the final month of development. Bungie has been working on Halo 2 since six weeks after they finished the first one, planning every little detail, making sure this sequel lives up to their original vision.
If that ain't good news, what is? Now what the hell are we going to do about that month wait again? To say that Halo 2 is already one of the most successful game titles of all time is an understatement. Hovering just around 2 million units in pre-order sales, the success of this impressive sequel is guaranteed. However, is the hype worth the price? How much has changed from that familiar formula that we know and love?
Will rockets on prisoner ever be fair? Let me try to answer these questions and more. The graphics are hotter than ever, and the bump-mapping technology, which gives even simple textures an illusion of depth and reality, looks even better than you could've imagined.
With the ability to play in HDTV resolution, you can get one mean looking picture out of this game. Additionally, if you've got a widescreen TV, you can split the screen vertically for co-op mode, giving each player a better view area. Backing up the visuals is Halo 2's sound, yet again top notch with a more kinetic, frenetic feel.
The music has gotten the same treatment, and you can even listen to two Halo 2 soundtracks outside of the game. Gameplay, it's all there, and it brought along a bag of chips. The action is more intense, more challenging. Dual-wielding brings a new tactic to the table, and the removal of the pistol scope for sake of the battle rifle is a welcome change. No longer will the pistol be dominant in multiplayer maps.
As before, you'll find an engaging storyline wrapped around this gameplay, and excellent design choices mean that there's nowhere near the same repetitiveness of the original. Be prepared for even more story, and even more high quality voice acting, from such actors as Ron Perlman, Michelle Rodriguez, and Michael Wincott. I'll warn you though, the plot takes some twists that not everyone may like, and has an ending that may leave you feeling unfulfilled.
Star above all else is Halo 2's multiplayer component. Featuring Xbox Live connectivity, downloadable content, online clan support through Bungie. Gone are the days where you'd need to search through a server list, replaced by party formation and matchmaking systems that make this an instant winner in my book.
This is the party game to beat. All in all, Halo 2 is a top notch game, through and through. It does have some weaknesses, but they're few and far between, and in some cases, would've seemed like design strengths in other titles I've reviewed. This is an unashamedly good game, and is worth more than retail price. Browse games Game Portals. Halo 2. Install Game.
