so Halo 2 was realeased this tuesday and many people missed class just so they
could "be amongst the first to play it" but, is it really worth
missing class when your life is depending on it?? what i mean is, up hear in
northbay canada, many people decided to skip class just to play halo 2, yea it
is a god game and al but no game should be worth missing class when your in
colledge right? i plan to get it but you don't see me risking my career for it.
this also seemed to happen back home in mexico city, aparently 1/10 of
highschool was missing because the did the same thing. soo wats your opinion on
this?
I used to skip school just to get a game. I remember when FF7 came out I kinda
drop out for 1 year ( the teacher was also blackmailing me) but I did cause I
was a hardcore gamer back then. Now I just got Halo 2 but I didn't really play
it much and I don't know why they made it out like it was so great. It's almost
the same as the 1st Halo. I guess, that's the only thing they got going for the
Xbox. In the end it's just another good 1st person shooter. I'm waiting for
TimeSplitters: Future Perfect.
If you dont want to go to school then dont, go play Halo2. I dont like it when
there's too much hype and too little quality to back up but Halo 2 is a good
game so I dont really mind too much.
hmm ya halo 2 is great. especially after u beat halo 1 countless times and read
the books 5 times each. but still missing school just to play it? thats absurd.
school is waymore important than games.
*rofl* Why? Probably because Halo1 was the only game worth considering getting
an X-Box over. Um... well, then again just one day of class isn't absolutely
critical. Conversely, I'm with you. Wouldn't miss a day just for a game release. Just a
handful of hours it's over and you can get it without wagging.
i didnt skip my school for the game, but maybe i should have
its really good, i really needed something after endeslly playing halo 1
great multiplayer options too.
the only bad side about it is the pistol i think, it was my favorite weapon in
halo 1 but i havent found an use for it in halo 2...sad
I got my copy that night (monring, 12am) and never played it till the next day
(after getting some sleep from that night, going to classes, and work). It's
only now that I got sometime to play, but so far, I've been only able to put in
6 hrs so far. Thats from playing Wednesday night, and Thursday morning.
Yea, college to me is a little more important, and work...well, I need the money
in order to pay for the rest of my freaking bills. So, playing Halo 2 right now
isn't really one the top of my priority.
So far, the game isn't all that great, personally. It almost feels like Unreal
Tournament 2k4. But then again, maybe thats is just me.
I saw alot of Halo 2 advertisements in many magazines and also a tv commerical
for it. And, alot of posters and signs in many retail game stores too. There
was alot of speculation that it would be game of the year. I guess the pr guys
did a good job of promoting it early.
People actually waited until midnight in front of game stores to 'get it first',
c'mon people, get a life. It's not the best game in the world. Far from it.
There's plenty of 1st person shooters out there.
Hello... So Halo 2 huh? Well yeah, I would buy it but I don't have an Xbox. If
it came out for PC I would just reserve it and wait until I have time to buy it.
a lot of my friends bought it already and they think they can make me jealous by
talking about it to me. Halo 2 is very over rated. It's just like the 1st Halo
but a little better, like a newer version of a car.
It's in all in your mind scope. To some people, one class isn't that important.
To others, school is only something their being forced to go to in the first
place. So, it doesn't really matter. I mean, really, it is one class. In all
honesty, it's not going to change your life. That's the truth.
Some people skip class for no apparent reason. Just to sleep in, or hang out
with friends that they see every day. At least playing a game on opening day is
some kind of excuse...
...lets see..Halo 2 + Game Of the Year Award + One of the Most Popular Titles =
people WILL DO JUST about anything TO GET.....hello its Halo,you just can't beat
it.This game has everything you could what,i recently got the Special Edition
one and the game has everything that Halo 1 had and made it 10x better!I mean
what can be better than killing every aliens @$$ and trying to save the
world.The story gets really good and the graphicvs have gotten really good.Its
starting to look like Half-Life 2 and Doom 3 got some compition to face.I
mean,just go to the nearby ebgames or gamestop store and PLAY IT or go get the
first one...i'm not lying when i mean you'll love it!!!REALLY!!
they play cause theire addicted, if they are like that anyways, i dont think it
would matter if they missed class, they're probably barly passing
anyways
and for the rest of the ppl, they shouldnt be influenced so much on hype, i
bought halo 2 because i liked halo 1, i didnt care what all new was in it, and
online multiplayer was a big bonus

Yeah college is also important to me since i also need to pay for the
institution fee but i did get Halo 2 and yeah it's just you Ace.

I agree. Collage is way more improtant but if ur in universtiy.
hell man, forget about games lol
u'll have a hard time.
We may have gone into the big city to buy it, and got back at two, and played
until five, but then we went to sleep went to class, and played it for the rest
of the day. You need to know when to do it, early in the morning and late at
night, that way you play and go to class, everyone wins.
i think halo2 is good, better then halo1 was but i will never skip my school for
it,
alltough i admit im doin lees about school because i wanted to play it some more
lately ^.^
Halo 2 isn't really that hot. The thing that hypes it up is the fact that many
console gamers haven't realized that shooting games on consoles suck.
I work at Gamestop and play more games than most people out there, and I can
pretty much say that Halo 2 did not live up to the hype. I picked up Fatal
Frame 2: Director's Cut over it if that says anything =P

Halo's an alright game, but to skip schools too crazy. If I skipped class for a game
my mom'll kill me...:)

hmmmm, I'd skip school for the game, yup.
I don't see anything In school that I couldn't learn on my own better, faster.
*rofl* Why?
Probably because Halo1 was the only game worth considering getting
an X-Box over. Um... well, then again just one day of class isn't absolutely

pffff i wouldn't buy an xbox for halo ever, maybe ninja gaiden...
i really thought halo 2 wasn't that good

halo 2 is fun but i don't know if would be worth missing school though. I already beat it and i didn't miss school.
