Regardless, the LIVE part of this game is offering more options and modes than anything else out there. It's going to kick ass. Call me a fan boy if it makes you happy. I've only played a couple of campaigns more than once in my lifetime. I've played Halo no less than 4 time, so I guess I'm a fan boy. At least it's a game worthy of such a title. If Halo 2 ends up being no better than Halo, but with LIVE multiplayer, it will still be the best FPS out there.[/quote]
Dear Fanboy,
Please play Perfect Dark. It has more modes then Halo 2. With better technology backing it, PD would stomp Halo into the ground and urinate on its headstone.
That said, due to its precision and 16 player support the original Halo was a fun and solid FPS. Yet for multiplayer modes, including Challenges and AI bots that were sadistic bastards, PD still bests it.

Dear PD Fanboy,
More modes or no, Humans are always better than bots. When PD Zero comes out (probably Xbox 2) we can compare. I love FPS games, so I'll probably be all over it. But for the current gen of on-line console games, nothing else is going to come close. Have you actually seen the list of modes? Each of the 8 or so categories has several subcategories... Add on top the ability to customize which weapons and vehicles on which maps, and there will be an enormous variety of gameplay. Shotgun only CTF will be much different than banshee wars over Assension or swords and 'nades only on Ivory Tower. Halo 2 is going to be a LIVE staple for a long time to come.[/quote]
Humans may always be better then bots, but some of us cant play with humans whenever we want. Some of us dont have broadband, and cant have LAN parties very often.
