Your loss! Halo eats MSG2 for a snack and shits it out. None of that fixed camera B.S.. Get up close to the textures on the grass, rocks, the ship or anything and the detail remains! MGS2 is a good game but not even close to Halo. Not only does Halo smack down MGS2 on the 1 player game but it also offers MULTIPLAYER! With no drop in frame rates or textures! The PS2 just cant do what the XBox can. Just look at the hardware specs to start with it runs circle around the PS2. Play Halo a couple levels in and you'll understand what I am talking about. Believe the hype on Halo. I have owned a PS2 since its release and just this Christmas they are coming out with games that are worth owning. A whole year later! XBox comes on the scene with two AAA must own titles right out of the starting gates. I am just holding onto my PS2 to play Maximo then it will be a dust collector.
