I have had Halo 2 pretty much since it came out, and I play it on Xbox Live all the time, however I never actually beat the game so I decided to pick up where I last left off on Campaign. Before I even got to playing, I found myself already getting into it while the level was loading. The music, in my opinion, is far and beyond the best out of any video game I have ever played. I found myself humming it while playing. I was nearing the end of the game at the part where I located the Prophet of Truth and had to rescue the captured marines in the detention-block. There was one part where I kept accidentally falling off of the map because I forgot it was possible. Having unlimited lives is quite convenient in Halo 2, even though it may make it a little less challenging. Also while playing I began to appreciate the story line more than before, and the idea that you can play as both the good guys (master chief) and the enemies (covenant, etc...) makes for an exciting game. I also noticed a little humor in the game, once where master chief appears out of nowhere and says "boo" to an enemy, and another part where a little covenant guy yells "air breather" at him. I actually laughed out loud both times.
