I must say that even though this isd a good game it lacks a good story line.
I will give this game my positive thoughts. You can Duel wield. That is awsome. In the first one that was not possible. Getting two of the smgs was devestaing to your enemies. The new weapons that were not availble are even better than i thougt. The energy sword VERY effective. The brood launcher,.....EXPLOSIVE! That energy sniping gun (i forget what its called) It takes a bit to cool off but when it fires.... be hopeful your not in the line of fire. There are more but i cant think of them..
Another positive thing is that you actually get to be covenant. You are an Arbator..... yea i dont know either. Its quite exciting though... killing off covenat and trying to save marienes..... then BEING covenant and killing marienes. I dunno but its a plus.
Now I hate how the Weird brood forces (from the first one the like infested humans) They are just put throughout the game. THEY HAVE NO PURPOSE. It was cool in the first one thats IT!! If they were in the second one there should have been a story to go along with it.... not just OH NO weird human infested thingys KILL THEM.... no have a reason and a story behind it.
Other than that the game had the same graphics as the first one .... astounding! The cutscenes were good and the gameplay was short but still pretty fun.
