I went to Gamestop at 12:00 with my friends...biggest weirdos ever in the line, cheering as everybody got a copy. Since I didn't reserve, went back at 1:30...oh what a game by Bungie.

WOW, I just played single player and I must say It was a great gaming experience, nonstop action, It was like I was really in a freakin SCI-FI movie, it was freakin great. I started it on Heroic cause I think I'm pretty good, and man is it tuff, thats all good though, I like it to be tuff. I'm still on the first part after playing like an hour, so for the people who said the game was too short, I say to those people play it on Heroic or Legendry or just shut up . anyway I love this game and yes I will go out on a limb and say Halo 2 is far the best Action game or game for that matter I ever played. This is excluding sports games ofcourse. If you don't have get and if you have second thoughts...well too bad for you.

Overall I think it plays a lot like the original. I still wish they would've allowed for XBox Live Co-op for the campaign as I like playing with more than one person. I was told you have more guys helping you, which I thought might make it good, but there's nothing that takes the place of having someone to work along with you where you can tell them what to do.

Online multi-player is good but with a lot of people (earlier we had about 10-12 OSers) you sometimes respawn right in the middle of a gunfight. Sometimes it's good 'cause you get an easy kill, sometimes it's bad 'cause you're not ready for it and if you're the people in the fight when someone respawns near you they can come up from behind and kill you easily.

Overall, job well done and good game. No lag that I could see when playing online either.

There weren't as many classic "gaming nerds" as I expected at the EB I went to. Some people gave fake claps when the first guy came out of the store with the game, but after that everybody just wanted the line to hurry up! I was like 15-20 in a line of at least 150 people and it took me 35-40 minutes to get my copy. They tried to do a full paid/partial paid line system, but they were still letting people buy strategy guides, controllers, Live account setups and all of that in the fully paid line, so it was taking just as long as the other! I wish I could find out how long it too them to get all of the games out, I wouldn't be surprised if it was well past 2:30 or 3:00.

I picked it up last night, at GameRush. I was the second in line, thanks to the tournament they were doing. Didn't stand in line, but about 30 minutes.

Single player is awesome, but multiplayer is unreal! I'm loving everything about it so far, except for the fact they put BOTH discs in the LE Case.
