I just played H2 for the first (and probably last) time after playing the H3 beta. I almost smashed my controller. Anybody that says H3 is Halo 2.5 needs to get their eyes checked and get some psychiatric help. My internet connection is less than optimal, but rarely did I have trouble with lag, with the H3 beta, that is. I don't know... I can't really place it, but I cannot STAND H2 after playing the beta... Sigh... It's going to be a long summer.

A big part to success in Halo 3 or and Halo game is not getting frustrated when you feel you've been killed unjustly. Stay solid, and realize that its easier for you to come back when the other guys cant control their anger and frustration. Its hard to aim when your an emotional wreck :)

Thats a shame its ruined for ya...I hope something changes and makes you want to play again.

COD4 is for noobs that suck at halo

The graphics are surprisingly much worse. It was like going from H2 to H1... So primitive.

But halo 1 was still quite delicious....

my eyes started to bleed after going back to halo2, the graphics were so...dull. NO halo 2 is not better than halo 3 in any way. if you say it is, then im assuming that you couldnt transition between the two because of the decreased auto-aim, and all the new changes made to each weapon.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

I found it refreshing going back to Halo 2, it just has more map variety comapred to the Halo 3 Beta.

i agree. the graphics are much better on halo 3. and so is the gameplay and all that jaz. idk, i liked it.

Man, I know exactly what you mean. I refuse to put H2 back into my console. Currently I'm on a quest to find another game to play for the rest of the summer until september 25th. Not really any good ones out.

Wow the beta was so horrible i puked. The weapons and vechicles were so freaking lame it was even worth playing. Ill play halo 2 till the real game comes out, and ill play halo 2 if halo 3 is like the beta.

You have fun with that.

I still enjoy Halo 2. It surely doesn't feel as good as Halo 3 did, but it's still fine. I'll get together with friends and link up 4 X Boxes and play on 4 separate TVs (They don't like Halo: CE, not sure why) I think I may be done Online for a while though. Maybe an occasional game, but I need something more... guess I'll go back to Oblivion.

Halo 3 = Halo 1.5

Halo 2= The "Other" Halo.

Halo 3 felt very much like CE to me (and many others), making it, imo, more of a sequel than H2 is. H2 feels totally aside from both of them, with so many glitches and autoaim, if just falls short of these other two..well, better, Halos. It seems very out of place as a transition from CE to 3, aside from (obviously) storyline.

Anyway, I'll continue to play H2 until H3 comes out. Not because it's better, but because it's still a relatively fun thing to do in the absence of LANning CE or the beta.

I played two games and told my brother, "I'm done."

Rockets absolutely RUN the map, you get BR'd from every angle on every spawn, and the auto aim is so exaggerated that I was trying to stick a guy in the distance but my character magnetized to a closer enemy and earned me a nice little suicide.

Halo 2 was a fantastic game before the network manipulators/glitchers/delevers rose to prominance, but now H3B has completely ruined it for me.

One of few times i rant. ;(

Once the Halo 2 challange is done on the 25th, and if i dont make the top 64 i am done with halo 2, It is just so bad compared to halo 3 beta.

No, Rockets don't run the map at all, Carbine/BR are easily balanced enough to take out rocks, providing you have a competent aim. And not once was I spawn killed in the beta =/

Uh, the autoaim in H3 is dead nonexistant in comparison with its predecessor.

after playing halo 3, halo 2 doesn't seem as fun as it used to be. i cant get a pre-paid visa card to buy the new map packs that are now REQUIRED to play ranked games, and the tournament, and it keeps me from playing my favorite game types online. all i've got to play is big team battle, double team, and team hardcore. at least in halo 3 i could get into team rankings.

I never got a chane to play the beta but after seeing all those videos from gamespy and the others, I know how you feel. For some reason though I still like playing BTB in Halo 2, maybe its because its there a high chance for me of getting an overkill on Gultch Wars, not to mention once I got a kill frenzy on Beaver Creek

Oh there's always gonna be some people who will try to wait for 1 year or so before the price of the game goes down so they can sell it.

ya, I played halo 2 just like 10 minutes ago and I couldn't stand it. I played 4 games then turned it off. I just couldn't get into the multiplayer...after player halo 3 and being able to use every weapon to kill someone, it was annoying that all that was used were the PP, BR, Sniper, Sword, and Rockets. Furthermore, I never realized how crappy the graphics actually were. I still like the campaign, and might play through it a couple times before September 25, but multiplayer is done for me.

PS: doesn't it seem like every weapon is pointing up in halo 2.................

I'll still play splitscreen... But not on my 360, which seems to be half the problem with my H2 experiences- I played H2 splitscreen over at a friends house on an "old" xbox tonight, and it ran SO MUCH nicer than on my 360... idk...

Haha, same deal for me (even the controller and smashing part). The only reason I'm playing it is for the P&W Sweepstakes thingee. I might play it for custom games and glitches, but I'll probably never play MM again.

I usually never get mad at games, only a "What!?" after I die and it doesn't seem fair, but I never get angry. Halo 2 is now the only game that I have gotten mad at and started taking anger out on the controller. It just seems completely unbalanced and unfair. It just now hit me: you H1 fans, you're right; Halo 2 just sucks to me.
