To Be Continued...

I really liked Halo 2's ending. Which isn't THAT surprising, considering all the commotion about it being "different" and "bad" and "cliffhangery." In many ways it's a LOT like The Empire Strikes Back, and a few years later after Halo 3 is completed we'll look back and see just how damn good Halo 2's plot was. Because it IS damn good. There's just a lot of unknowns, and a lot that hasn't happened yet - and a lot of room for really interesting speculation.

Can you imagine how frustrating it must have been to realize that The Empire Strikes Back had a huge cliffhanger ending back when it came out? I mean, I'm sure some people loved it, but I would wager a lot of people really found it difficult to enjoy due to that. Now look, though - massive amounts of people, myself included, would consider it the best entry in the series. In part because of it's ending.

Just my little rant. What a great game; it truly surpassed my expectations as far as both single- and multi-player go. It's exponentially better than the great-but-overrated Halo 1, and actually reserves the ridiculous hype and incredible sales - assuming, of course, you can appreciate a well told story and maybe have a broadband connection.
