Just got Halo 2, Xbox, and a wireless controller.
 

Still on the intro to the game... looking badass though

you should probably play Halo 1 through before completing Halo 2, or the storyline will be kinda garbled

just play the xbox live version..that is what everyone will be playing..i doubt ill even try the actual game until ive kicked some major ass in live

Buy a case of beer and make it the perfect evening :thumbsup

I need to get a new XBOX. :( It looks like my lens is dying on me.

playing online is better than playing it straight on your own.

The novelty of having a wireless controller will wear off the second you try to play on Xbox Live.

You'll notice that there is no slot in the back of your new controller, the slot that you need to plug the Xbox Live headset into. You have a little base station that came with your wireless controller, that you need to plug into the controller ports in the front of the unit and has a really short cord.

So, basically you have two options if you wanted to play Halo (or any other games) on Xbox Live:

1) You're going to have to sit real close to the Xbox when you play, so the headset can reach the wireless base station for the controller. This kinda defeats the point of having a wireless controller.

2) You could get a wireless headset so you aren't limited by the headset cord.

I know this because I went thru it all myself. I wound up just returning the controller and going with the newer, smaller, wired, 's-controller' which is the best controller of them all anyways.

congrats:thumbsup
