What do Halo fans think of GRAW 2?

GRAW 2 is an amazing game but if you’re an achievement hunter, some can be
just a pain to get.
The hardest one I have done so far is the Ultimate Defender. This
achievement requires you to defend a certain zone for one hour with
infinite computer enemies coming at you. And you know what makes it
better? You get no supply points to reload ammo! My method of choice is
to have at least a party of 10 with everyone an auto rifleman. Make sure
you get a weapon with single shot available. This achievement is all about
time and not about kills. Everyone should take turns shooting the computer.
Aim for the head!!!1 The auto aim on the rifle makes it easy to get a head
shot kill. As some people run out of ammo, let about 3 guys through then
cut of the rest of the enemies. Kill them in a relatively close spot to
get their ammo. Continue this routine and in a couple of hours the
achievement is yours along with the bragging rights.

I think Halo 2 is way better than any GRAW. Halo 2 has set the bar for
online play and GRAW hasn’t surpassed that bar.

A sequel to GRAW one year later? This should have been an expansion
downloadable on the marketplace. I’m sure it’s prettier and stuff, but
the improvements (AI, clan support, etc) should have been in the first
title. They are subscribing to the EA way of doing things. They got my
money last year. Not gonna happen again!

I’m not really angry, I promise. I just don’t like sequels as money
grabs.

I am sending in my two-cents as I do every episode. Ok, so, GRAW 2. Well,
honestly, and yes, go ahead and laugh, I have played GRAW once, twice,
maybe three times. So my opinion may not be as, well, correct or right
than anybody else’s. Anyway, GRAW 2. Ok, when I played GRAW, the thing
that bothered me the most is the GRAPHICS! I thought the graphics in GRAW
were NOT at all taking advantage of the 360. But then again, it was one of
the first games on the 360. But other than that, of what I played of GRAW,
I liked it a lot. Just a little (or a lot) touch up on the graphics and
Bu-Bam! Smash hit!

Keep on drinking Homo-cide sauce!

In GRAW 2 the game-type creation is a lot better than those in other
shooters. GRAW 2 allows you to tweak the even the smallest settings and
even lets you combine gametypes. Shout-out to Redotonur4head, Foo Mo
Jive, and JVB. Keep on rippin cheese!
