I do agree. When you manage to get into a full server with CTF, it's great fun.

Fancy grabbing some easy achievements later?

Halo 1 was good at first (i played on pc) but got very boring, very quickly imo.. Im not even gonna give Halo 2 a glance for this reason tbh...

I played and really enjoyed Halo1 on PC. Got an X-Box 360 and played Halo 2 on it. Not as good as Halo 1 but i still enjoyed it and would rate it as one of the better FPS games that i've played.

I've never owned a xbox and thus never played halo2. If eurogamer gave it 9 out of 10 because its an "excellent port" and i forked out the money to buy it but then realised that the gameplay is outdated, i would be quite upset at eurogamer for not reviewing the game itself.

If you want a good port, fair enough, however i'm willing to vouch that the vast majority of people would rather game reviews reviewed the game than the quality of the port. Releasing a game this old with so few updates when game like Half life 2 can be bought for less is insane.

Agreed.

We all know what the game is and what it does ffs

Aside from the fact that it's a shooter and the sequel to Halo, I know nothing about it. Wasn't a fan of the original so I haven't been following the game, and I've never used an Xbox.

Played Halo - i thought it was enjoyable.
Found out Halo2 was Vista only & have decided i will not be getting it, as i wont be paying to change to Vista OS anytime soon.

Enjoyed both of them on Xbox 1 and when Halo was released for PC, it was much more fun to play with the mouse and keyboard and enjoy the sharper, higher resolution. I'm hoping Halo 2 will be the same. Not sure how well dual-wielding will work with the mouse but I'll soon find out.

I've given it a whirl. I like the Xbox 360-type interface they're using. I think it fits well as you can always just type "A" and "B" on the keyboard to select things in the menu.

The dual-wielding is a bit of a pain in the arse. I suppose I'll get used to it. The gameplay is a bit boring though. It doesn't seem to have the same "je ne sais quoi" as Halo 1.

It was good for its time, but many new releases ever since then has outclassed it. It's just not the same in 2007.

Truly great games stand the test of time

Half Life 2 and Far Cry come to mind.
