Halo 2's cutscenes are most certainly not crap. That's nitpicking, especially the texture draw-in. It didn't affect the game at all and anyone who says it did is just LOOKING to berate the game. There wasn't a lack of detailed textures, the XBox just has a hard time drawing them in on a short-basis. I'm talking about factors of a game that takes away from the overall experience, not little nitpicks here and there.

I refuse to argue about a game that is more than anyone could have asked for. Halo 2 is a modern masterpeice on consoles and anyone who doesn't feel that way simply baffles me. I compare videogames to the overall experience and other games on the system/genre. Videogame rating systems are NOT a perfection meter (which 90% of people believe). They're simply a rating of experience and gameplay.

I'm never going to agree with the aforementioned people that believe videogame ratings are crap if a game gets a 10 and isn't perfect. The fundamental reasoning behind their ratings beliefs is inherently wrong and there's nothing I can do to change that.
