Halo 2 delivers an electrifying narrative that keeps you on the edge of your seat with its unexpected twists and turns, all of which hit the mark flawlessly. Playing the campaign in co-op mode proved to be a wise choice, as it provided both thrilling action and moments of frustration, even on normal difficulty. However, the tight gameplay mechanics ensure an immersive experience throughout. With an ending that leaves you pumped and eager for more, Halo 2 sets the stage perfectly for the next installment in the series.

A strong follow up to CE. Better gunplay, dual wielding whichever guns you want, better story, better layouts, it's all here. I didn't grow up with Halo, so reminder that I'll never have the nostalgia goggles for it that some do, but I even I can recognize that this is a great game, even if I have some gripes with certain missions and certain boss fights.
The anniversary edition especially looks amazing with incredible cutscenes and sound design, and remastered music that sounds amazing.

I understand now why y'all won't shut up about this one

Incredibly faithful remaster of the original Halo 2 campaign which continues to look gorgeous even compared to modern games.

best story in all shooter history

A big step up from CE in terms of gameplay itself. The Anniversary graphics also look very good. The dialogue is pretty cheesy and that's a bit of a turn off for me personally, but if you can look past that, this is probably a perfect FPS campaign.

unnecessary. the re-recorded music is filled with obtruding elements which were not present in the original perfected recordings from it's holy inception in the year of our lord 2004.
