Compared to the 3-4 minutes it took to create a profile and start into Halo 2, this is pathetic! :|

Hey fanboy, Halo 2 is on xbox, you don't need to install it unless you modded your xbox.
Besides, Halo 2's visuals are much clearer and industry redefining! And in multi-player, don't let anyone tell you different, the text DOESN'T take up the whole pane.
What the hell are you talking about?!? Fanboy?!? Fanboy for what?!?

All I was saying is that instead of waiting 40 minutes to be able to play Half-Life 2, I was able to toss the disc into the Xbox, create my profile and get going in 1/10 the time. It's not like I was forced to subscribe to Xbox Live and wait a half-hour while the server got it's thumb warm enough to allow me to play.

Also, if you think Halo 2 has better visuals than Half-Life 2, you need to stop smoking the rope and stick to Pong, mmmkay?
