Halo 2 was and is a great game, but it's certainly not perfect. Now developer Bungie is acknowledging that certain aspects of the game (most notably its ending) needed a lot more work. One employee even went so far as to say that Bungie "screwed up" on Halo 2.

It's hard to criticize a game that puts up $125 million in sales on its first day of availability and goes on to sell around 6.5 million copies worldwide, but for a lot of Xbox gamers, looking back at 2004's blockbuster adventure with Master Chief is frustrating because of the game's somewhat lackluster ending. In hindsight, developer Bungie agrees.

finally they (Bungie) admit it

Edit: How can they (Game Daily) have the audacity to say (probably because a certain someone is paying them to soften the blow) "Its hard to criticize a game that puts up $125 Million on its first of availability"?

Thats like judging every sequel only by the popularity of the first installment.

Of course its goin to sell $125 Mil its first day! The only reason was because Halo 1 was a f*cking awesome game!

Well, I guess everyone can just thank Microshaft for rushing Bungie so much.
