Finally bought this game.. I would like to know if there's anyway that I can have an Halo 2 server? It's for Xbox and I don't know if there's anything special to host it since it's for Xbox.

Basically, no. The only way you can play over the Internet is with XBox Live and those servers are controlled by Bungie.

I played Halo 2 round at my mates the other day. I didnt think there was actually that much different from Halo but then again I dont exactly play it much seen as I dont like consoles and especially people that say consoles are better than PC games.

Play online. There's a huge difference.

Online was the only thing I played.

Then you probably didn't notice the difference due to your inexperience in the original Halo. There were lots of strategies and quirks that worked really well in the original Halo. Due to the new array of weapons and dual-wielding, a lot of those won't work anymore. Vehicle usage is totally different due to them now being destructable, the homing capability of rockets, and the boost option. Turrets add an element to base defense and attacking. Certain areas of the environment are destructive, allowing you to reach rare powerups and weapons. There's also those explosive barrels, you can utilize to your advantage.

You basically have to learn to play the game all over again.

From what I have played it was pretty shite.

Not my type of game.

The Campaign is a lot better this go around than the original. You can't do a Halo server at this time since Halo2 hasn't been released for PC. If you had a modded box they have Xconnect or something like that. I play Live as it is nice how they keep up with the stats.

I can't figure out what all of the hype is about this game... I bought an XBox + Halo 2 a couple weeks ago and I have not played Halo 2 since then.

I have rather enjoyed that free game, Top Spin, which came with the XBox though.

Yeah, its shite. I would never recommend anyone to get it.
