    Better graphics? Huh? How do you figure? Different graphics, like the lights on the back of ghost, but not exactly a technology breakthrough.

    Playing as the covenant is the same as playing as the master chief, just different folks shooting at you.

    The movies were cool.

    Like I said, same game, but the original game was pretty fun, so naturally Halo 2 is fun. It would be nice if Bungie would distribute maps, weapons, vehicles, etc via XBL.

    you wouldn't notice, after playing Doom 3 on a nice machine like yours. For us people with standard machines and still living on the "xbox tit" its alot nicer, more crisp graphics.

    playing as the covenant is totally different than Master Chief. The mobility is different, as well as the differences of weapons.

    Ive read where they will do updates and downloads for updates for H2, b/c HALO 3 is a long way away.

    The communicator works like a charm. The proximity microphone is really cool. For those that haven't heard about this yet, when you get in close proximity to your enemies, you can hear their communication. If you can hear them, then they can also hear you. That means when you make a kill, you can say a final prayer for the guy or talk a bunch of smack about his mother.

    well actually it's not even on their list of things to do. They are planning to work on a game they were doing before they started Halo and MS bought them. Sales alone say there will be a 3rd Halo, but it won't be out for a while, like well into the xbox 2 life.

    I still think it's funny that MS brought Rare over to the xbox, but they havent put out shit yet.
