Firstly, There is no confirmed Halo 2 for PC (and if there will be, it will be late 2005 AT EARLIEST).

Also, Cookie, I was stating that that's how much me/Matty paid for Halo 2 collector's edition, not how low you could get it for.

Also: If you buy the game in store, don't expect to get a discount :dodgy:

I replied to your statement that prices don't change, this also implied that your $80 would be roughly $80 everywhere...

Maybe my quotes of you didn't made that clear what I meant with it, sorry for that...

But my mean point is: look around before you buy, prices do change and are (very) different from store to store.

Of course, this doesn't apply to hard core fans who want everything at first hand as soon as possible, no matter what the costs are (not meant negative btw; I also bought stuff which I really wanted for lots of ping-ping while I could've waited or looked around first for cheaper prices).

Why not? I already know of one store here that will have a discount on Halo2....

Wise choice of games mate, they're all awesome, although Fable finishes to quickly if you don't do all of the quests.. but heres a hint, if you don't skip the credits then you get to carry on playing, rather than not being able to play again... this way, you can complete a load of stuff aswell :).

agreed. the AI in heroic is a bitch to surpass. and, besides a few minor bugs on my game, i haven't noticed anythng weird.

Suprisingly the controls were fairly simple for such a clogged controller. Only the "L" and "R" buttons and a control stick were really needed to play.

I didn't like the weird motion control/veiw control though. You have to use two seperate joysticks , one for walking and one for turning/aiming. It would of been easier to use Metroid Prime based controls.  I ended up using the energy sword or something like that the entire time for simplicity of control.

With the energy sword , no horrindous aiming is neccessairy and its a one hit kill. (Or perhaps it was my Zelda kicking in)

Overall it was an alright game , But it wasn't worth the huge fuss.
lol. you make me laugh, really. just cause you can't play it doesn't mean the game is shit. there is something like "settings", you know? ;)

and, blade, trust me, there always is discount even one month after :rolleyes:

True, but surely if the AI isn't very good on it, as in they walk into walls and stuff and are stuck there, then its not really going to change much in Legendary in that region, the combat will change a huge amount though i'm positive.
