Yes, I will say right now, I like Halo 2. But, as most things turn out, when there is something good, there is some one there to ruin it. I'm really mad about this now. I've thought about it for awhile, and it just keeps building up.
Super bouncing. Yes, the basic annoyance of this forum. Let me tell you a little story. Once a guy super bounced on top of Ascension big tower. My friend showed me how to do it the previous day, but like an honest player, I wasn't gonna use it. I saw him up there, Team Snipers, so, I used the super bounce to get up there, I killed him, and jumped right down after I killed him. Some may not believe me, but that's fine, it was that way. So in the post game lobby, a player from the other team told the other three teammates to report me for super jumping, which people say that's cheating. So they did and left. I got mad, because the only kill I got while I was up there was the guy who was sniping us. I think that is a good reason for super bouncing.
Button-Pressing Patterns. The BxR and Double Shot glitches are a killer. They make the game standards go down. Now people don't need to use strategies, they just push buttons. You may say that button pressing is a strategy. It is not, it is a pattern used to gain a significant advantage over another opponent. Major League Gamers who play Halo often use these button techniques, and that is why they are so good.
Messages in Matchmaking. Alright, so I will wait on the menu for like 10 minutes waiting for an invite into a party. No one sends me one so I just go into matchmaking and play. Right as some one starts to come up on my radar I get a Party Invite and get assassinated. I don't get why we needed messages on the radar, and I kinda wish Bungie would have realized that before producing the game. However, it was a mistake, and it is understandable, so it is not that big of a deal.
Weapon stealing. Well, I know how to pick a weapon up. So do not accuse me of being a Funny Machinima Noob. But I will stand over a weapon for 2 seconds pressing and/or holding X and then some one will jump over the weapon and take it. I will get mad, because usually they can't use the weapon very well.
Friendly Fire / Suicide Penalties in Matchmaking. Alright seriously here. Why is friendly fire and suicides aloud in ranked. It has no add to the game except de-leveling. Take it out, or atleast take out the point loss penalty so the people who want to level up can.
Spawn Killers. People who just wait for spawns to snipe down for kills suck. I can understand it happening a little bit but I keep spawning in the exact same spot and get spawn killed way too much. I suggest doing something like they do on Lost Planet, with the blue aurora protection from spawn killers. It works perfectly.
The "Noob" Combination. Most of us know this as the Plasma Pistol and Battle Rifle. Something needs to be done about the plasma pistol destroying the shields. I saw this one team with two people who dual wielded the Plasma Pistols and the other two had Battle Rifles and we just got destroyed. It really is not fair.
So I think a second Halo 2 should be released. For the Xbox 360, so patches can be released. It's the exact same, graphics and weapons, but fixing the super bouncing, out of map glitches, button combos, and message alert. It shouldn't be that hard for them to do, they did create the most popular series of video games ever. I mean it might be a little out of line asking for a new halo 2, since most will play Halo 3. But I might play some Halo 2 Multiplayer for a little old school and I'd rather not have my experience ruined by glitchers.
Don't flame me, I don't care about flaming. It bounces off of me.
