Does Halo 2 at least reduce some of that same-room-over-and-over repetition?


I didn't play through the campaign of the first Halo but i had this feeling when playing through the halo 2 campaign in some of the later stages. I had to back-track a few times just to make sure i had advanced and not gone back the way i came.

I think the main attraction of Halo 2 is what you're not particularly interested in. i.e. multiplayer and in particular XBox Live


I agree. I have the most fun from FPS' when in multiplayer and going through the campaigns is only something i do if no ones around and i'm bored, or improve my aim w/ those irritating controller joysticks (still used to keyboard and mouse). sniping people is just so fun
