    I still hate the hype machine that is Halo. A guy in a dorky motorcycle suit running around and shooting the bug version of Ewoks. Zzzzzzzzzzzz.

    I dont know if I will get SW:BF, but what kills me about the few reviews I've read are the people complaining about the bots' AI.

    It's not a one player game, duh. You shouldn't be playing the one player for 5 seconds beyond mastery of the controls. That's all it's there for. It's just a trainer.

    Then again, I will never understand people who buy video games to finish them. I will never ever understand the allure of playing against a bunch of scripted AI, along a boringly linear plot.

    I don't even play NFL2K5 anymore unless my bro or a friend is over. The whole appeal is whooping another player's ass. That's what should rule about this SW game. If it's not good for that, I'm not interested. And the only reason to get the XBox version (since the PC one can handle more players) is so you can trash talk on that annoying mic, if I can even find mine.

    the thing is, the battle front game is designed for lots of people (it's the trend it seems for many games -- support for large numbers). but not everybody likes to play with anonymous 13 year olds on the internet... hmm... that sounds kinda creepy. so people with 5 or 6 friends who want to play together are left in the lurch unless they want to add bots or play 3 on 3 on maps that are way too big and designed for 10 on 10.

    Halo is great for 1 player and it is great for 16 players. That's why it is such a good game. I hate FPS, but it is a lot of fun. Halo 2 will be a blast, I can't wait to bust out the dual weapons and blast my friends to bloody hell.

    i play it co-op with a friend. i'm glad to see other games doing the same thing. currently working on rainbow six that way. pretty tough. i think it's because either:

    1. we suck
    or
    2. co-op lacks the "rest of the team" (it's just rainbow 2)

    i'm leaning towards 2.

    we played rogue spear that way and actually turned off the friendly AIs cuz they would end up doing everything for us. that one was no problem, but this one is MUCH harder.

    Hey Dave how about hooking up a fellow XBoxer with a copy of that. By the way have you gotten the free game when I signed for XBox live under your name yet? I havn't

    I wasted $50 on this dog of a game. Is there anyway I can get it back?
