Video games are a form of escapism. We can go anywhere, be anyone and do anything. The execution, but not the idea, of this has changed over the years, as games overload us with cinematic action and scripted events to scream “HEY, DID YOU KNOW YOU’RE ON AN ADVENTURE?! ISN’T IT F$$$$$G AWESOME?! THAT CONTINENT JUST EXPLODED! LOOKATITLOOKATIT!” in our faces. Because of this, what made the 1-2-punch of Halo 2‘s “Delta Halo” and “Regret” levels great was the way in which the developers didn’t do this – it was as much a mystery as it was a thrill ride.
Eight seminal games were released on the gaming market between October 26 and November 23, 2004. Twenty years later, here's Wccftech's retrospective.
You're not gonna include Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal or Jak 3 on that list? Just change it to Fall 2004 Releases and include the masterpiece that is Sly 2.
Unexpected characters, infamous cliffhangers, and an E3 demo that time forgot.
My favourite of the series... I have only played 3 though
Never a big fan of the original but number two blew me away with it's scale, the bit at the beginning when you're driving a tank across this giant bridge whilst shooting down flying enemies lives in my head. Always rocked the double needler
as much as I liked it, it was one of the first game endings where I went "you gotta be f'ing kidding me!"
I still remember the gameplay reveal during E3 2003.. Man, the graphics was like a major upgrade from Halo 1 and it blew everybody's mind. It looked miles ahead of anything on PlayStation 2 and the score was epic! When it launched, Halo 2 was worthy of every bit of hype it generated.
This in my opinion is one of the best Halo games (Alongside 1 and Reach). It introduced the prophets, you could play an elite which was awesome, dual handling SMG, amazing graphics for its time on original Xbox and so many more.
The city levels had flat textures and streaming issues but the assault on the Temple with the ODST team was an unforgettable experience. I still remember how detailed the buildings covered with moss and grass were like and the water element in the temples was perfectly utilized.
Replayed this gem on MCC and had a blast.
Remember the days of four-player couch co-op? The Wealth of Geeks team certainly does. This list brings us back to the golden years of the original Xbox with the best four-player games that were available.
Delta Halo has given me some of my fondest memories in gaming, perfect level.
It was a really good level but idk about best ever lol. Halo 2 i thought had the best multiplayer ever but the sp was like second or third best in the series.
I have the greatest memories from Halo 2 because of the online but basically living on it, but I think Halo one SP was more powerful. Than Halo 3, 2 than Reach
Halo4Life
This is probably the single player level I replayed the most besides the tank mission.
