[JakubFTW]

CGR UNDERTOW, better reviewers than gamespot and IGN put together.

[TheTheRealBeast007]

i say this is the best halo game well at least best halo campaign

[ak47assassin20]

The thing about the "kids half your age' they mostly play cod now

[itzxsimple1]

this guys voice makes wanna kill myself -.- .... with a plasma sword!! :D

[mymcr03]

for xbox and pc

[theintensegamer178]

~~plasma sword~~

[RandomLightbulbs]

I got to say halo 3 is the best halo

[TheTheRealBeast007]

best halo ever!

[ConnorGW]

I made a page on facebook called 'I want Halo 2 multiplayer back' like the page to try to get microsoft to put it back on XBL.

[kingpinkilla1984]

this game was a huge let down

[jimcoolfilms]

@kingpinkilla1984 bull halo 3 was

[ultimatetrex1999]

energy sword

[SpartanForgeWorld300]

i wonder what will replace covenant weapons in halo 4? chances are they wont be back unless the elites come back as alleys again.

[MastahChief101]

Greatest Xbox Game of all time, (Other than Halo : Combat Evovled)

[bland9876]

Wtf you can see your wepon in this game I all was activate the blind skul

[Dakkiller1]

@ChazorFire If talkin 480i or 480p then yes.

The PC Port of Halo 2 does have improved graphics but since you can have higher resolution then the original Xbox version, some of the background scenery (The far far away ships in the 1st level which are 2D Sprites and the flat 2.5D inside of the ship that the Master Chief blows up)

Anyways, still an awesome game! played it when it was new at age 10

[SuperSupermanX1999]

@ChazorFire nah, halo 2 has great graphics but i think that's letting ur imagination run away with you

[ShadowPhazonv2]

I'll be honest, I wasn't a huge fan of Halo 2. Story felt very blah.

[SuperChimChar1]

DUEL NEEDLERZ!!!!!!!!!!!OMG!!!!!!!!­!

[keshaz12]

@SuperChimChar1

A single needler was weaker than the Halo 3 needler.

Dual Needlers are about the same as the Halo 3 needler only wasting ammo faster.

[bendomekful]

its energy sword

[redead22]

@ChazorFire Not too be "that guy", but are you fucking smoking?!

[robotchickenfan]

For all you fools who think it's a "Energy" sword, its not. The name my be Energy, but he concept behind it is Plasma Physics. Its possibly nowadays to actually make a real one, but who's going to pay $1,000,000,000 for the research and development?

[3063259]

@robotchickenfan i woulent just fucking pay them $1,000,000,000 i would give them my fucking soul to make me an energy sword!

[Craizormon]

@robotchickenfan As if most people would know that so why are you calling them fools?

[tacospartan]

actually, it's gonna be a LONG time before scientists are able to create a suspended plasma field and mold into the shape of a sword. you're gravely mistaken if you think all the money in the world could create one right now.

[blindedby2monkeys]

@robotchickenfan

[spockzomb]

@robotchickenfan Call of duty would bring out a new combat knife if a government created that

[NerdyTurd307]

@robotchickenfan it could be possible but it would be VERY different from halo. for starters it wouldn't be hand held, it wouldn't lose energy from just swinging it and it would cost a fortune and a LOT of resources to even power that kind of thing for even 20 seconds.

[chargersfan3421]

@robotchickenfan i will pat $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000­,000 for the reasch and devolment and make a energy sword, plasma pistol, plasma rifle, and those awsome sticky grnades and take over russia.

[Deefboy95]

@robotchickenfan the term "energy" is used because the damage is mostly delt from the heat energy emerging from the sword. Also it is impossible to make a real energy sword because there is no way to form ionized matter into a distinct structure (like a sword) without a magnetic field or a container.

im a chemistry student

[chadheck96]

@robotchickenfan Get Bill Gates on the phone.

[TheSpyChecker]

@robotchickenfan it is possible, except, it will not harm anything and anyone. may hurt, but killing ANYTHING with it would be nearly impossible..

[SPARTAIN088]

@TheSpyChecker The plasma is coated in an extremely strong and moleculary sharpened powerfield. The plasma also burns at hundreds of thousands of degrees C.

It will cut through tank armor like butter and merely touching someone would leave them scarred for life.

[Lannnyto]

@robotchickenfan energy sword :s

[simwarn]

@robotchickenfan no no no not fresh as my balls no

[SpyroTheDragon1267]

@robotchickenfan Bill Gates

[noe1993jmsn]

Well... Actually is Energy Sword... Not Plasma Sword

[problemofficer]

Remember playing this when i was 6, Hiding from the flood, playing same missions over and over again and finding glitches. Good times :D.

[MrPrototypz]

All the other Halo game's, except Halo 1 and 2, are beyond fucking awful.

[topografer]

I really think that Halo 2 was a good sequel.. I didn't get into halo 3 that much, but i liked ODST and i deffinitelly liked Reach.. But Halo 2 was good

[TheLugialoka]

This comment was made a year after this vid...

...and TEN years after 9/11!

Thumbs up if you take notice!!!

[maxinator317]

This was made on 9/11 if anyone didn't notice.

[GameSkiller117]

come on dont u think halo 2 is the best halo game ever, the campaign is awesome and good story, it looks amaizing for its time (probably the best looking game for the xbox), and it has one of the best multiplayer ever!

[unpwnt]

Good review but seriously... ENERGY SWORD.

[spockzomb]

man i prefered mark reviewing this

[saucedodude]

ENERGY SWORDS. >.<

[branadserbod360]

lol i didnt know i mispelled! LOL im using a mobile. i was going to say that xbox live was gone since may 2009

[branadserbod360]

too bad xbox live is gona...

[Biznatch255]

@branadserbod360 ....is what? Littered with drug induced 12 year olds who cuss out the smarter older gamers?

[branadserbod360]

@Biznatch255 dude, I MISPELLED IT SHOULD BE HALO 2 XBOX LIVE IS GONE JACKASS

[Biznatch255]

@branadserbod360 Wow, angry for no reason. Good for you.

[branadserbod360]

@Biznatch255 XD

[crazydave360]

Lol I love those swords too

[omardx8]

@DamnedByDurberg it is..but i wasnt wrong either

[expertnoobFTW]

Who else is screaming in their head "THATS NOT A FUCKING PLASMA SWORD'!?

[brrrrr12]

"More people were interested in what Master Chief was up to, then who was gonna be the next President".

SO TRUE :D

[Teeheehee093]

for me. reach has the best online and halo 3 has the best campaign

[renegadesenpai]

guys you can still play halo 2 on original xbox or xbox 360, search xbconnect...

[jacketsj]

get it for the pc people, it works on vista(you're really weird if you have vista) and windows 7 (unfortunatly not xp) and you can still play online AND its free to play online with windows live, unlike with xbox live, you can use your xbox live account, theres a multiplayer map editor, you can use a 360 controller as well as the mouse and keyboard (you dont need to buy a 360 pc controller to use it on ur pc, wired ones you can just plug in and look for drivers on the net)

[timmyenminoes]

Yeah Halo 1 was simple (maby too simple) and halo 2 was for more hardcore fans (like me) i could follow it but with efford.

I hated halo 3 in the beggining but later on in the story it was good.

And reach was... uuhhhh well waaay to dumbed down.

Multiplayer is awesome though :)

[WOLFnDOOM]

Halo 1 has easiest story to follow, find info on halo then destroy it before they find Earth.

Halo 2's story I couldn't follow at besides save earth because they attacked but playing as the arbiter was strange because at first he was with covenant then he suddenly became best buddies with the human didn't make scenes. Halo 3 was shut down all the halos and then destroy the newest one closest to Earth (the replacement for the first ring)

[SPARTAIN088]

@WOLFnDOOM No. You got it wrong. The arbiter didn't become best buddies with MC in Halo 2. They became allies in Halo 3 and before MC knew he tryed to kill arby. And the newest Halo in Halo 3 was outside the milky way and they just activated it before it was finished to destroy itself and the ark so the other Halo's can't be remotely activated. But onething still bothers me. Can't they be activated 1 by 1 manually from their controll centers?

[ZacEffron]

@SPARTAIN088 And the fact that since it takes 7 halos to rid all life in the galaxy , then installation 04 wouldve only be able to affect a seventh of the milky way

[SPARTAIN088]

@ZacEffron Maby more, because they have to overlap so some flood don't hide in between. They can't risk the infestation to spread again. It would be like if they have done nothing.

[ZacEffron]

@SPARTAIN088 Yeah but still... one halo wont destroy the whole galaxy

[SPARTAIN088]

@ZacEffron Yeah but it will kill alot of stuff. And noone wants that to happen.

[scotsen23]

DID I MENTION THERE WERE PLASMA SWORDS!!!!

[WanganRunnerS30]

ENERGY SWORD!!! not plasma sword!!! btw halo 1 had the best story

[AfterschoolEffects]

Man, best original xbox game ever...and it probably is just me, but I didn't know what happened between the ending and beginning of halo 2 and halo 3, i'm just a noob, so please explain

[cadco1996]

@AfterschoolEffects What happened after Halo 2 into the beginning of Halo 3? Nothing, he just fell.

[AalTheEarl]

Its Energy Sword Now >.< Whyd They Change The Name? Plasma Sword Is100 times better than Energy Sword

[SpartanForgeWorld300]

Am I wrong that the account name reminds me of Camel tow? XD

[omardx8]

8 millon copies sold...and 1000 million copies downloaded from pirate webpages.

[timmyenminoes]

@omardx8 lol xDD

[rocker9904]

@omardx8 ... am i seriously the only one that noticed that 1000 million is just 1 billion? seriously, dude, learn your numbers :P

[bobx9000]

@omardx8 lol someone didn't pay attention in elementary school math.

[omardx8]

@bobx9000 i guess lol

[MrSaturn33]

@omardx8 Actually people rarely pirate games with websites, they use TORRENTS. They download the ridiculously small torrent file from a pirate webpage and then download that from trackers with a program.

[DrRichterMusic]

strongly my FAVORITE halo campaign ever

[FlyingAce1016]

PLASMA SWORDS

[DajuNkdnA]

(ahem) ... FUCK the story,.

[gangatalishis]

this reviewer sounds so boring he speaking in a monotone(using the same voice throughout the whole review) and makes it sound like hes reading from a script

[Death4Less]

little bit late i know. but plasma sword? really? energy sword my good man

[PIKACHU49386]

Greatest Multiplayer ever!!  Look up how to use XBConnect and use it to play Halo 2 online with that, keep it alive!!

[thevideogamenerd100]

unfortunately, Xbox Live on the original Xbox has been removed :(

[Dragon123rock]

You jsut gotta love that ZEEEUMM noise when your cutting some dudes chest over xbox live. :)

[FMicrowave]

this guy is trying to be as crazy as mark is about flamethrowers with plasma swords.

[SpartanForgeWorld300]

i know a glitch to run through new mombasa in 5 minutes.

[GreenGhost1996]

you know what i don't get? In the first Halo and in the early books they made it seem that if the Covenant found Earth that it would be devastating and certainly spell the end of humanity, but it seems that in this game and Halo 3 that the Covenant invading Earth is really no big deal, i mean like in Halo 3 the marines are cracking jokes when the human race is supposedly on the brink of extinction.

[jasonsan10]

halo 2 made the assault rifle more powerful

in halo 1 it took forever to kill someone in multiplayer with the assault rifle

[CRRudd]

When I showed my Mom the part where you say "Whne Halo 2 came out it's save to say more people where wndering to see what Master Chief was up to than who was goint to be the next president." she agreed.

[darthridick77]

Plasma Sword, its like poetry that cuts up aliens!

[CRRudd]

Did I mention Plasma Swords? LOL! I'm HIGHLY considerign getting teh first two for the orignal Xbox!

[MetallicaMadMan666]

@CRRudd do yourself a favour and GET THEM. They are really awesome games and you can get them for a very low price on ebay.

[sarmedalwan]

i just played halo ce the other day. it was AWESOME.

[Osvath97]

Its funny becouse it actoully called energy swords lol.

[KaitonWLOC]

never owned an Xbox, but I will admit this game was great fun. Play it at my buddy's house, and I got the controller with the jammed shoot button so thwacking people upside the face was my specialty ( also it made the sword my favorite).

[bobx9000]

Am I the only one who thinks this is the best Halo campaign?

[TheSaber2ooth]

@bobx9000 no you can't be because i think it's better than all the other halo games stories because it reveals so much about the halo universe

[BRPhillis]

@bobx9000 Well it's definitely my favorite... Hmm, I think I should do a playthrough of it this summer!

[bobx9000]

@BRPhillis I'll make sure to watch it. I like your channel.

[cloudmaan24]

@bobx9000  i think that halo combat evolved story is amazing

[newsonictheheadgehog]

@bobx9000 no i love this game it was my first xbox game

[les91920]

@bobx9000 mine too

[ethanizabunny]

@bobx9000 no you are not i seriously cant bring myself to replay the first one after playing halo2

[MrMarcusLangseth]

@bobx9000 you sure halo ce isnt better?

[bobx9000]

@MrMarcusLangseth I'm sure.

[MrMarcusLangseth]

@bobx9000 i agree.

[BrandurJustinussen]

@bobx9000 ODST is the best Halo campaign

[bobx9000]

@BrandurJustinussen It was pretty good, I found it very repetitive thought.

[dasHendy]

@bobx9000 no, there is also me :-)

[thefuzzman3]

@bobx9000 my favs in order:

Halo 2

Halo Reach

Halo 3

Halo ODST

Halo: CE

not that i don't like Halo:CE but these r y favs in order

[TehJrokk]

@thefuzzman3 if halo wars isnt unde CE your going to die

[thefuzzman3]

@TehJrokk halo wars wasnt made by bungie but yeah halo wars is under CE

[Jimmybobburns]

@bobx9000 no

[Hgighigs]

@bobx9000 No, Halo 1 is.

[LegitPandaTV]

Plasma swords...... plasma swords..... :D

[17thSHIT]

3:51 epic death then Arnie comes along.

[Cemo99999]

"It's like poetry, but it cuts aliens in half." Lol

[SubspaceGamer]

its called an energy sword >_<

[kindofscary]

the best halo ever

[TheKingmaxus]

its energy sword dumbass

[123halofreak]

@TheKingmaxus dont troll dumbass

[Icebolt666]

I don't like this guy the other is wayy better

Do people still play Halo 2 online and can i play on the xbox 360 ?

[blazelmtdedtn]

@Icebolt666 dude microsoft killed the original xbox live servers last april. but i was there in the final days to send my favorite game of all time off in style. but i still play it every once in a while. i just played some split screen with my friend the other day. but there is always xbox connect and im guessing its pretty popular now that you cant play halo 2 on xbl anymore. but i cant wait to get a new computer so i can play halo 2 online again.

[SubspaceGamer]

@Icebolt666 halo 2 isnt online anymore.

[MethuenKidd978]

This guy sounds stoned

[bellamy13088]

The best halo!

[TheDarkHadoken]

how many remember the halo triple pack @ walmart for like 70 bucks,im gonna play me some halo 2 right now

[GameSkiller117]

why hasnt Mark done a review of this game? however i think this is the best halo game of al time, even one of my fav game of al time

[WeLawL]

Plaaazma Swords 0_0

[warringah08]

its like poetry, that cuts aliens in half

[JR21117]

you copy off classic gme reviews so bad.

[bobbyblobby100]

@JR21117 This is a branch of classic game room, not someone trying to copy it.

[JR21117]

@bobbyblobby100 Oh man sorry, excuse my stupidity:)

Sorry:(

[bobbyblobby100]

@JR21117 It's ok, I don't think your stupid.

[JR21117]

@bobbyblobby100 haha thank you.

[TheElectron504]

Halo 2's campaign beats 3 and Reach

[CessiCB]

@TheElectron504

That's not saying much. Halo 3's campaign was god awful. Reach has the best campaign aside from CE, ODST, and Wars. (my opinion, if you don't agree with it, you don't have to pay attention to it.)

[multipurposescrew]

@CessiCB ODST? Really? ODST?!!? Seriously?!?!?!? Like I understand CE but ODST, really?! But I guess you are intitled to your own opinion...

[CessiCB]

@multipurposescrew

Entitled* And what was so bad about ODSTs campaign to you? It was very atmospheric, and had wonderful music.

[multipurposescrew]

@CessiCB yeh I guess so, but it felt a tad repetitive (thank you for the correction, I now know how to properly spell entitled)

[mw2gam3r1]

im get this for the pc

[commandofatman]

now i want to get the game

[tacospartan]

For some reason, i just loved reloading and switching to my SMGs, especially dual ones. it sounds so awesome

[codcomedy100]

its called an energy sword god

[necrid86]

Halo 2's ending was what pissed me off. It's an uncompleted story

[HatersGonnaHate1000]

@necrid86 Its a cliffhanger...I bet it made you buy halo 3

[necrid86]

@HatersGonnaHate1000 I lost alot of interest in the series after Halo 2. I didn't get Halo 3 until a year after its release.

[MrJustmeinspace]

review for pc dahmit so much better (not by controls of course)

[pengo980]

ENERGY SWORD dammit!

[SuperTomLogan]

@pengo980 tell me about it

[N3RDYKID97]

17 people were killed by 145 people using a plasma sword

[GeorgeWPavkovich]

Mark's reviews are better, though.

[pkm100]

completed reach, half way through halo 1 then im buying the second :)

[MightyJabroni]

@pkm100

Wow, that makes you one of very few gamers, who play the games in chronological order.^^ If you haven't played Halo 3 already that is.
