I still like Halo 2. It's just not the same after the beta, is all. The beta pretty much exposed everything that sucked in Halo 2. It's just different.

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.

After playing some Halo 2 though, I realised that the melee Lundge is soooo much better in Halo 3 than it is in Halo 2.

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.


Dude,

The beta was 5 times better than halo 2 AND IT WAS JUST A DEMO!
PLUS+ when halo 3 comes out the graphics will be like 5 times better and the gameplay will have a bigger dose of Awesomeness.

Halo 2 is broken. There is no room for arguement there; it contains more glitches/bugs/cheaters and frustrating gameplay elements than the Halo 3 Beta. I picked up Halo 2 and instantly became flustered when I spawn in front of someone, with my -blam!- SMG, who had a sword. It is also so STUPID in Halo 2 how weapons DO not respawn if it is being used (i'm referring to power weapons~shotgun, sniper, etc), but in Halo 3 they spawned more frequently.

Agreed.

I'm not gonna lie- these past couple days have left me questioning why I play this game. Before the Halo 3 Beta I was still really enjoying Halo 2 and now.........I could really do without it.

Yet I still find myself wanting to play it LOL. Probably because my friends are on it and stuff like that. I mean, I had a an absolute BLAST on the Beta. The gameplay was so refreshing and new, even though it was full of flaws and frustration nonetheless.

Going back to Halo 2 made me appreciate the Halo 3 gameplay a LOT more. And during the Beta I played frequently, and only got on Halo 2 once to read some messages in between.

Halo 2 feels really broken. Whereas in Halo 3 where you could improv more and make your own playing style, Halo 2's style of competitive play has already been analyzed and overanalyzed to the point where every battle seems like the rest.

Don't get me wrong though I still love this game. But I have a feeling once Halo 3's out, I'll never play it again. Well.............at least probably not.

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

I think the halo 1 graphics stand up pretty well when you go back to them, particularly on a nice TV. They have a lot of polish to them. Halo 2 was a leap ahead in many areas but it was pushing the xbox quite hard. When you go back to 2 now it suffers more I think. There’s a kind of muddiness which you don’t notice from 1.

Halo 3 is much better than halo 2 in many ways I have a xbox 360 and the pic is really good.

After playing the beta halo 2 just seems wrong. It's out of place compared to the other two. There is so many glitches it's not fun anymore. I think the only game with more glitches is COD3.

May I suggest Shadowrun and Guitar Hero 2? =)

That's what I'm rockin with this summer... I might begin to be an achievement whore again just to pass the time.

Posted by: SteamPunkJunkie
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.

H2 will forever be known as the nerfed halo

the new map packs that are now REQUIRED to play ranked games,


Except for the part where THC and Double Team are still ranked
yeah, i forgot about those. i should have said that it kinda sucks that most of the ranked games (rumble pit, team slayer, team (weapon), team swat, and the H2 challenge) require the maps.

The announcer in halo 3 single handedly ruins the game. Not to mention it isn't going to be nearly as competitive as halo 2 since everything is just slower. The entire "equipment" bull-blam!- is just a joke.

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.

could the fact that there are more ppl still playing Halo 2 than were allowed into the beta be the reason for this lag? i'm just saying, it's a *blam*ing possibility.

what're you talking about lolzz.
halo 1 was so much better than halo 2.
halo 2 is for scrubs to help even the game out for people who are weak.
halo 1 was about skill.
