Oh my GOD. When will you learn? These HPC lovers hate EVERYTHING about Halo 2. I'll be suprised if you survive. [/not an insult to HPC lovers, I am one too. You guys are just too hard on H2.]
Not really, we just don't like it as much as we like the first game.

Crap, posted before I edited. Oh well. I don't know about you, Kim, but members like Obi Wan despise H2 with a passion.

Really? He doesn't seem to hate it as much as others do. Like Nessy.

I never once said that I hated H2. I have said on multiple occasions however, that I despise people who whine about Halo 2 PC being Vista exclusive. I also despise Tartarsauce, but that's a topic for New Mombasa. And I'll be damned if I ever step foot in that den of retardation.

I guess it doesn't need to be said that I also despise New Mombassans.

I was about to say, "Obi Wan never said he hated Halo 2" but I was too lazy to check this thread to proove it, so yeah.

By the way, ever since the Halo 3 Forum came about, New Mombasa isn't as full with retards as it used to be. Keep in mind, you still see lots of retards and jackasses who think the energy sword takes skill, but there are actually people there who can type proper English and carry intelligent discussions like here in the Maw.

also the health monitor, Its a very tactical idea to be able to know how much health you have before you do some crazy sucide mission to get the flag and win (something we all have done), I would like to know how much health I have so I know my limits.



what r u talking about if ur shild is all the way up then ur health is good and if ur shild is gone then ur fu<ked very ez plus health packs are a lil old now im glad they dont have them in halo2 and hope there not in halo3

Um, you're wrong. By the way, health packs, as outdated as they might be, are tried-and-true feature of many first-person shooters, I hope they don't eliminate it from the genre. I don't find looking around for health packs that much of a hassle. It's not that the no health pack feature is a good thing, it's just that it doesn't work well with all games...

Health packs FTW!

Speaking from splitscreen experience: The sword is so easy to dodge its almost laughable. You see, the Master Chief apparently runs at the same speed fowards as well as backwards, so if you see a guy with a sword, simply back away and pwn his ass. I understand what your saying about the lunge and small maps, but the lunge seems to have a larger range in campaign than in multiplayer, that may be wrong but its my opinion. Also, the sword will not kill you in one hit. Only if the person is jumping and then lunges will he kill you in one slice.
What you just said is laughable. I'm sorry, but that's a load of bullcrap. The Sword can be dodged, but not as easily as you say. You are wrong, flat out wrong, when you say that you run at the same speed backwards as you do forward. You don't. People pedal in reverse slower than they do running forward.

By the way, if a person lunges at you from five feet away when both of you are standing still, it is an instant kill. He doesn't even have to be running. You don't need to jump to get a one-hit kill.

And with small maps, thats why Bungie is putting a limit on the sword for Halo 3. Its kinda like the flamethrower: All the noobs who just got the game will go "Oooh, shiny" and will pick it up. But the experienced players realize what just happened, and if you pick up a sword you might as well paint a big bulls-eye on your face, because everybody will immediantly shoot you. The biggest threat from halo is either the noob combo or the sniper rifle. Having recently aqquired Halo 2, I realize that sniping isnt totally based on auto-aim, it is just much easier to move your crosshairs at the same pace that somebody will run at with a controller rather than a mouse.
Where did you hear that Bungie is putting a limit on the sword in Halo 3? Also, I disagree with what you said, most players are smart enough to hide the sword and switch to their other weapon as soon as they get it right up to the point until they use it.


Jeez, Kim, I told you, i was speaking from splitscreen experience. The rest was gathered from Youtube and friends. But when I played rumblepit with 3 friends, whenever someone got a sword and started charching me, all I had to do was back up and he never seemed to get any closer. Also, I have jumped over people when they lunged tons of times, and simply turned around and stuck 'em.
As for where I heard about the sword limit, I got it from a friend who tends to somehow know these things. Dont tell me he was just making up some bs, because he seemed to be doing that a lot before Halo 2 came out, and not a bit of it was wrong. No, he didnt get the Halo 2 stuff from here because I checked here regularly back then and didnt see any of that.
In other words, jeez, dont flame me just because you got some sand in your -blam!- and decide that im wrong about one little thing. >=(

You're not wrong about one little thing. Trust me, the Energy Sword is imbalanced.

Let there be CHAOS!

Halo 2 is riddled with gameplay problems and imbalances. I can't wait for H2V to come out so I can fix it...

Though I'm wondering how similar modding H2V will be to modding H2X... I hope there will at least be a way to remove the power weapon type spawning system. I don't think you could do that in H2X, at least I couldn't figure out how.

You don't like the sword lunge? Think it's to over powered? no it's not, killing some one with the sword is all about timing, and seeing the Health bars, ya that would help, but with seeing just the shields, is just fine.

it use to be just pistol the tank guy and use cover, i'll have to use the battle rifle to do that now.

That's not going to work. You have to empty all your BR ammo and then find more ammo to get the job done but by then his shield would have recharged. The trick to not dying to a hailstorm of BR fire while in a Scorpion or Wraith is to turn around so your rear takes the brunt of the fire. Why? Because that side is near invulnerable and you can recharge your shield.

Oh yeah, and one more thing about the scorpion, the cockpit is closed and you can't shoot the driver unless you knock off the door to the cockpit first, which takes too long.

Umm yeah. Forgive me for saying this so bluntly, but it's a -blam!- TANK for christ sakes. It's supposed to be nearly indestructible. That's one of the reasons why I hate the tank in Halo PC. The tank should not be vulnerable to anything smaller than a rocket launcher.

But when a tank is so overpowered that it unbalances the game, then we have a problem here. The balance versus realism discussion.

Point. But, there are other weapons and vehicles that can be used to counter the tank. Such as the rocket launcher, FRG, Rocket Warthog, Chaingun Warthog, and the Banshee. I think the game would have been much more strategic if they made the tank much harder to kill. Instead, any nooblet can pick up a pistol and take out a tank. To me that is just the epitome of bad gameplay.

I know it's a tank but it's a game and especially in multiplayer the vehicles should be tweaked to be balanced. There comes a point when the closer you get to making it realistic (bulletproof and indestructible) it becomes unbalanced. You hate the tank because it's too vulnerable and I hate the tank because it's near invulnerable. I want a medium.

How can you call the tank "near invulnerable"? You hop in that thing and you might as well put a giant bullseye on your head. All it does is make you a bigger target for the incompetent noobs out there who think they're the shiznit for taking down a weak, pathetic attempt at a tank with a few pistol rounds from long range.

I was describing the Scorpion in Halo 2.

Ah, I was describing the Scorpion from Halo PC. I haven't played H2 Multi. But I guess if the tank takes a little bit of work to take down, then I'm looking forward to it.

  • 03.02.2007 7:19 PM PDT

I wonder if the Wolf thinks the Moon listens when he howls at it.

first this forum is for HALO PC and H2V, HALO 2 VISTA has not come out yet, its a game, there are some cheap things but its a fun game, this is the wrong forum to talk about this, we dont wanna hear it because the majority of us already know it, go to New Mombassa if you really think halo 2 was such a bad game, quit complaining and "Think before you post".And also bungie wont change the hud of halo 2 just because you didnt like it, and lastly they arent upgrading the armour, its the same as halo 2 on xbox 1 headshot with a sniper stillg gets you a kill.
