I would get it just to catch up with what is going on as far as the campaign goes, sort of like a refresher. Before Halo 3 comes out I plan to play all the way through halo 1 and 2 then move on to 3, just so I can remember what is going on and where everything was left off.

Yea i am going to play through both of the campaigns also for the fun and the storyline i havnt played halo ce in ever... but ushould get it it would be really akward for u to be playing halo 3 and not know what had happend in the 2nd one... i think it will be easier and it will pass time before the 3rd one comes out

If you have never played Halo 2, then yes, go ahead and buy it.

Dont buy it. Matchmaking had its apocalypse. But its ultimately your choice.

  • 08.16.2007 11:47 AM PDT

Yes, but if you dont do it what are you going to do for a month?????

You should buy Halo, read the Fall of Reach, play Halo 2, read Ghosts of Onyx and the graphic novel or comic, then play Halo 3.

yeah if anything you'll own a piece of gaming history. And despite what these guys say about matchmaking you still have customs...even though i don't find matchmaking as bad as they make it seem. And I'm sure you can find it really cheap used at just about any game store. But don't get it in lieu of getting part 3 that would be crazy...

no dont buy halo 2 its a -blam!- ass game i personally hate it, campaigns all right but live -blam!- sucks -blam!- so bad its sooo laggy and another bad thing about halo 2 is the auto aim its so bad it makes the game so -blam!- they better take it off in halo 3 so what im trying to say is dont buy halo 2 its not worth it wait for halo 3

Jason Jones of Bungie famously said of Halo 2 that: "it's Halo 1 on fire going 120 miles per hour through a hospital zone chased by helicopters and ninjas. And the ninjas are all on fire too." As a sequel, Halo 2 couldn't quite live up to that extravagant claim.

You should buy Halo, read the Fall of Reach, play Halo 2, read Ghosts of Onyx and the graphic novel or comic, then play Halo 3.


What about first strike? It should Be Fall of reach then Halo then first strike then Halo 2 then Ghosts of onyx. You dont really need to read the flood you could but eh.
