Halo 2 on xbox live is amazing. I' ve probably spent more time on that then on the game. The training ground is probably my favourite because you and three mates can go up against another four players online.

Also i' ve just started playing the game again on an harder level after completing it and i' m having more fun the second time round. Bit of a dissapointing ending though.

*cries*
Why dont' I have money?
*cries more*

This question is for all those folks out there that have already completed Halo 2 on at least the ' normal' level...

About how long did it take you to complete the whole game?

I' m about 9 hours in right now...but I' m not rushing through...I' m on the elevator in the Covenant stronghold...da** Flood!!!

Finished Halo 2 on the " normal" setting yesterday I wasn' t exactly keeping track, but it was approx. 12 - 13 hours. I couldn' t believe it when the game ended -- I mean, that' s it? I know that a 3rd Halo will be coming out, sometime, after all the story is far from over (according to the Halo books I' ve read), but I wasn' t expecting Halo 2 to just " stop" as it did. I loved playing the game, but I have to admit -- I' m disappointed with the ending.

I say 9-10 hours. Now Im playing co-op legendary with chickapoo88. Im wondering if like the first one there will be an extended ending once you beat it.

I completed it in about 6 hours..Hmm..And this was on Legendary mode....Games are too easy...

What, you just run straight through each level to get to the end in 6 hours? And, on Legendary?

I like to get into the story...rushing through would ruin it for me...

More questions...

Can players choose both sides in multi-player?
In other words, can a player play as either the MC or one of the Covenant?
Or, just as the MC?
Does this work on the XBConnect tunnel, as I am not going to be getting XBOX Live! back (too much money, too little time to play online, and not enough games to play online with).

Halo 2 legendary 6 hours? Why? Did you watch the cut scenes?

Daroosh: I can only answer the first question and yes you can play as the elites in MP, at least I was able to when I played non online MP. I need to renew live laster as well.

You can be the Arbiter and Master Chief but thats it.

I don' t know if it works on the XB connect tunnel as i don' t know what that is.

Is it where you connect using your PC or something like that?

Xbox live is only £30 for 12 months and it' s worth every penny.

As for games I feel there is more than enough but I suppose it depends on what games you want to play on line.

Plus it adds more life to games once you have completed them.

I had XBOX Live! once before, but I just do not have the time to play enough to warrant the cost of DSL and Live! service.

Otherwise, I would invest in it...it was fun as can be!

...and I' m sure it still is!

I completed it in about 6 hours..Hmm..And this was on Legendary mode....Games are too easy...

HIGHLY unlikely.

In here, you' re going to have difficulty fooling people. Basically, DaRoosh had the only possible explanation for something like this...

Im wondering if like the first one there will be an extended ending once you beat it.

Supposedly, there is (at least according to the Xbox mag)
