it owns halo 1, story is way cooler...maybe i like the story more than others but hell its cool, the multiplayer is cool shit, some maps are lil big but still cool. the duel weapons is cool, kind of annoying that you have to drop one to throw a grenade, but it makes sense. i think its improved in a lot of areas, better graphics, weapon balance way way better...no more pistol b****es, hehe. i think i would say this game rules just for the hunters...beastly as all hell...really really cool... but yeah so ima go play it some more...so BUY IT. oh yeah i waited in line at midnight at a best buy and didnt sleep that night, ahha later
