its a waste of their time, why not get them started on Halo 3 ( if there will be one )


That statement has no merit. They farmed out the porting of Halo PC to Gear Box Software. They could do the same with this.

Did your parents drop you when you were a child? Yes, he thinks Halo 1 is better. Just like I think the first Matrix movie was the best. Just like I think the old Star Wars movies were the best. Some things do not get better.

And it's not a waste of time. They farmed out Halo PC to Gear Box Software, they could do the same for this as well.

I hate to be the bearer of knowledge lol But umm that makes no sense to say there is no skill. No matter what in competition, you can be beat by someone!!. All competition to win involves SKILL, being smart, being able to adapt to who your playing against etc...Which is retarded when some people keep saying it doesn't take skill, because they actually don't like competing and competition. The people who are really good, can dominate games alot of the time period. To clarify one step further for those who are close minded lol If your in the military and you and your squad are the best, does that mean someone can't sneak up and shoot you..of course if you get ganged up on you'll get killed as well. If someone sneaks up and starts shooting you, you can get killed. Also just because someone is new to the game...doesn't mean there not gamers like anyone else, who has skill...but needs to get the feel to catch up to those who have alot more skill!! Im not surprised, but always disappointed with the things people cry and complain about. Don't play the game, if you don't like challenges or competing.

lol thast just it there isnt competition.. its too easy.. halo 1 is hard which makes the noobs who spray and pray tend to shy away from it.. it was so competition based that people who just arent good at fps's dont play.. but i mean halo 2 is soo easy people who have never played xbox in their live can do well.. which yeah is a good SELLING point but theya re loseing many many fans from this game.... the fans liked the competition.. the competition in halo 2 is weak... i think im just going to leave the game alone till may and then play maybe ill have some competition then..

OMG Halo 1 was balanced. EVERYONE HAD THE PISTOL. If you couldn't deal with it, then you sucked. Plus there were still ways to overcome your opponent. In Halo 2 all you have to do to win is to pray you start next to rocket/snipe/sword. And even sniping is way easier in Halo 2.

Yes, it really is.

In Halo 2, if you spawn in the middle of a level, especially Burial Mounds, Coagulation or something, what are you supposed to do with an SMG?? By that point in the game all the snipes and BR are taken and you just have to huddle in a corner. And the sniper is unstoppable on most levels (if he is good) since there are no weapons that can take him down. Yea, the BR or carbine can unzoom him, but he'll just duck for cover get the zoom back and kill you, probably by shooting MC in his new extra large head.

And stop saying pistol whores.

What you are really saying is "I suck. I start with one of the best weapons but continue to die. WAAAA"

Plus, you are the kids that whore the sword.

Which, sadly, is what you must do to win- whore sword, snipe or rocket.

And it's not so much skill in getting them (yea you can overcome a sword opponent with pistol/plasma pistol, but in FFA he already got 10 kills from it by the time you get there after shopping for weapons.)

Plus, no grenading weapons or power upsto yourself. The majority of halo 2 is "find your opponent first and hold both triggers down.)

Bleh, whatever. I know everyone will quickly flame me as a pistol whore. But, well, read the post.

This thread should be dead, considering that Shiska answered the question.

There will be a Halo 3. But it will be for X-Box 2 (X-Box Next)

H1is LAN domain. Grow a muscle and lug your box over to your buddy's house. Okay, first MAKE a buddy and THEN bring it. By the way, I'm better at halo than anyone in the whole wide universe! Yeah, anyone with "some knowledge" of english can post their boast in a forum...

This is the -blam!-ing that pisses me off. All you have to do is change the damn starting weapon! Problem solved. And also, *gasp* you can change the secondary weapon.

I've killed guys using swords with a ****ing magnum. Suck it up. And the snipers, my friend, are not easier to use. There is something called a recoil in Halo 2. I agree about the rocket though. Although, rocket whores can be easily overcome.

Lack of skill? Anyway, I don't really care, but might as well. I put yes.

I didn't see this thread before I started a poll with the same question. Oops. Anyways, the guy a few posts up that replied to the remark about spawning in the middle of Burial Grounds and suggested switching starting weapons.....well, if I had that damn option on Live, I WOULD! Now what do you have to say?

Also, the sniper is easier to use. If you haven't figured that out, then you need to give it a try. A little to the front or back of the head and you will get a head shot. That is when someone is running left or right in front of you. When someone is coming straight at you, a little above and you'll get the kill.

I say Halo 2 is a great noob game. Everyone that really sucked at the original will do a lot better and those who dominated in the original will still dominate, but not like before. I am not by far a Great player, but I sure didn't mind getting my a$$ handed to me by someone that worked the pistol like a pro, because I could do the same to others.

Make Halo Live enabled and I will pay $50 for it. I am sure that are more people than just the one's voting in this thread that would agree.
