I've been playing halo now for about 2 weeks and I've really beenb enjoying the game. I just downloaded the trailer to halo 2 for xbox today and I've notice some things that have been very similar throughout...

The movement of the bad guys in both games is very similar if I remeber correctly, the baddies look somewhat similar and they speak and taunt very similar to MDK...

is this coincidence or am I just crazy? Plus, in the trailer for H2, the first seargent jumps out of the space craft onto a savaged earth...looked wayyyy like MDK's idea...

Any thoughts??

I have also been thinking the same about Halo and MDK. Both games are lame. Halo most because of the taunts, for me it ruins the whole game.

Talking about Halo reminding you of things, is it me or does the flood remind you a lot of Half-Life!

I'm actually stuck right now on the escape level (and annoyed that I can't find the way out!!) I make it to the huge elevator that I came down on, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the d@mn thing to go back up...

The taunts are sorta weak, but I'm trying not let them ruin what seems to be a pretty good game...sniper rifle is my weapon of choice...not too much taunting when I'm popping the bad guy in the head
