What happens to halo 2 matchmaking after halo 3 comes out? Will it survive on people to cheap to buy halo 3 and those fans of halo 2? or will it fall into the dust?

Did Halo 1 survive after Halo 2 came out? Yes. Will Halo 2 survive after Halo 3 comes out? Yeah, probably.

Well many people do not have 360's yet. Of course, the number won't change drastically because of that, but simply there will be people who prefer to play halo 2, and alot of people buying Halo 3 wither don't have live or don't have a 360.

No.

I don't see how anyone with a 360 would want to play an unbalanced auto aim fest like this after halo 3 is out...

Ya, many people don't have 360's. Even though a lot do.. they still may use halo 2.. I think I will come back every now and then to Halo 2.. Just depends how much better Halo 3 really is.

Halo 2 made significant changes to the gameplay of Halo 1 to warrant playing Halo 1 because it feels different. Halo 3 is essentially Bungie just "playing it safe" and pretty much including everything from Halo 2 plus new stuff, so there's really no point to Halo 2 after Halo 3 launches besides the campaign for catching bits of story.

Who here thinks they should make a uber powerful Grunt Plasma Rifle thats shoots out naked flaming Chuck Norrises?

If halo 3 is like the beta, ill still play halo 2. The weapons in the beta were so bad i almost puked.

Same.
No matter what Halo 3 is, Halo 2 was the best multiplayer FPS Made..maybe by luck or something but it has all the fundementals needed in a competitve multiplayer game.

By 'bad' I think you actually mean 'required aiming'.

Glad to see we have one less of them on halo 3 already.

Halo 2 FOREVER now STFU

  • 08.28.2007 10:20 AM PDT

as soon as i get halo 3 ill never play halo 2 again, everytime i play a few games online i get annoyed by that little thing called host advantage, if not host advantage people glitch and cheat, every game of halo 2 i miss several kills which i should have got if it wasnt for host advantage, you know stickies flying through people melees not making contact etc. and people superjumping every few sniper games. also the few power weapons that arnt as effective for me as other people like rockets that dont kill people it goes next to. quitters in halo 2 also are really annoying. im talkin about the quitters who quit a match because theyre going to loose, im also talkin about those really annoying people who think its funny to quit after the announcer says game over so we have to wait a few more minutes in blue screen. halo 3 went right where halo 2 went wrong, and improved on everything halo 2 did right.

also the main reason im not going on halo 2 again is because in halo 3 the needler actually works =p

Made an account in 2006. Visited Bungie.net in 2005. Joined Xbox Live in 2005. It's amazing to see how the site, Bungie, and Halo have evolved over the years. Utterly amazing.

i know i can kill some people with it but thats when they dont know im there or have never been against someone with needlers and dont kmnow how to counter it, still it takes far too much ammo to kill someone because its so weak

As someone said earlier, halo 1 didn't have live, but halo 2 did, so halo 2 will never die! For the horde?

Carrots.

In halo 1 and halo CE, upwards of 150,000 people are playing.

There was a man from Allentown who fed his son to death.
He calmly watched him gorge himself until his final breath.
And there he stood, surprised and shocked above his tiny frame.
He said: "I bear no blame for this. I only share his name!"

Halo 2 is already dead to me.
