Whenever a big game gets delayed you can hear a collective groan come over the gaming world, in this case the most anticipated title in a long time has been delayed until fall 2004 and I for one am not upset about it, I mean waiting extra time for an even beter game and for them to fix bugs and whatnot isn't going to ruin my life at all, there are other great titles to be played until then, say for example running through another single player Halo game or another go at Splinter Cell or some newer games like FF Crystal Chronicles or Baldurs Gate 2, just my thoughts.

If it is anything like the original Halo then it will be well worth every second of the wait. The original Halo was as smooth as silk, polished, virtually bug free. I have every faith that this game will continue that tradition as well as adding new innovations to the game that will bring everyone with an Xbox onto Xbox Live.

Bungie is a great company and a great game maker. Anything short of perfection is going to be a letdown and they know it. I'm sure this game will make all other first person shooters look foolish by comparison. The original still does.

But there weren't enough fun guns to use in it! If there is a plethora of innovative weaponry in the second one, I will bow down to Bungie, but not until then! (Bump mapping, pff!)

Playing Splinter Cell once was enough for me. Not enough varying level design. Although the Thief-esque light meter was interesting. I'd chuckle when I saw that enemies couldn't see me in the dark even though I was wearing glow in the dark NVGs.
