I must be the only person in the world who saw all the gliches in Halo 2? I read all the reviews about how great it is. Sure the only grip most people have is that the campaign is short. But what about the ugly graphical gliches? The normal maps jump in and out of existance. The Dynamic LOD is horrible, with models blatently swapping in and out. The Multiplayer on Live! is poorly thought out. I have to sit for upwards of 10 minutes waiting for a game to be found? When I know 1.5 million other suckers bought it also. Why couldn't they give us a nice lobby with a sorted list of games? It would be pretty simple considering its been done that way since at least Quake 2. Even horrible Xbox Live games such as Soldier of Fortune II has a nice little browser for multiplayer games. I think many of you consumers have been blinded by Microsofts marketing machine. You really wasted $50 or more on a game that wasn't original, much less Complete. I'm sick and tired of buying unfinished product. Today I'm trading in my Xbox and my Entire Software Library, so that I may purchase a Mac. LOL. Nah, Just a new GeForce 6800 :)

On a side Note. Peter Molyneux and Blue Box are also partly to blame for this Disgruntled Xbox owner. Considering all the broken Promises about Fable.

Anyway I thought I would share my incoherent ramble with you all.

Glitches? What did you expect from a 4 year old GPU. What ya see is what ya get. Dont expect anything more than Geforce 3 performance, maybe less on this box. Did ya really think you were gonna see performance of a Geforce 6800 Ultra SLI? The box is old, just like the geezer that made it.

LOL. I don't think he meant he was expecting phenominal graphics, but he was expecting a snooth running game that was glitch free or prety close to it. The original Halo was far less glitchy because they are pushing the Xbox beyond its limits. I personally would settle for slightly reduced graphics and no or much fewer glitches like the retexturing of characters and swapping of textures ingame. Other than that and the stupid no server chioce mulitplayer design its sitll a good game, HL2 and Halo 2 are the two best peiriod.

Hmm I havent seen any of those things you are experienceing, maybe your incoherent behavior stems from a lack there of a brain stem.

Don't ever put Halo 2 next to Half-Life 2... though yes Half-Life has some bugs to work out. At least it will be patched. Don't get me started on Steam. Really though, are most people so jaded that they beleive Halo 2 and GTA:San Andreas to be great games?
