I never understood the allure of Halo 2. I never really understood most full FPS games on a console platform, the PC makes it so much easier, way more customiziable.. After playing Q3:A, or Tribes, or Unreal, Halflife, Counterstrike....
Halo just seems a bit blah. That and the level design and architechture is so bland and boring. Blocky brushes dressed up with nice-looking props and textrues. Don't get me wrong, the modelling is subperb, but their level designer sucks (I used to make levels for halflife, and dabbled in Unreal mapping)
Games like Splinter Cell had awesome achetechture, and it's gameply even if it was something of a FPS at tiems suited the X-Box quite well, and coop/mercsvsspies is a blast. Thats my favorite game.
