Hype is what it is.
Halo 2 was a disappointment because of the totally inconclusive ending, short campaign (even on the higher difficulty levels) uninteresting campaign (everything that involves brutes or flood equals epic boredom) and watered down MP. The Submachine Gun as a starting weapon is TERRIBLE and encourages shit play.

That being said, its still the best console shooter released to this point and I played it earlier tonight a bit.
