If the game isnt an amazing amount better than the beta, yes i will play halo 2. During the beta i was already playing halo 2 again after only a few days of Halo 3. Halo 2 has an insane replay value that kept me going back to it even during the beta when everyone is excited and wants to play Halo 3 so much. I was even a 39 or a 40 in the beta so its not like i was bad so i didnt enjoy it...

Almost certainly never. I've had a lot of fun with it and it's been great, but I don't consider it quite a 'true classic' like the first one which I will revisit, and Halo 3 looks set to be superior to it in every way (going off the beta).

My problem with H3 is it has a large amount of crap in it. Halo 2 is a simplistic game, but halo 3 now factors in these new grenades, equipment, weapon differences, etc. I just think H2 is more replayable.

  • 09.12.2007 5:23 AM PDT

Less stuff makes it more replayable?! Well, you're welcome to your opinion.... though personally if I want simplicity I'll go with Halo 1.

One of the things I liked best about the beta was that despite all the extra additions, the weapon balance has actually improved rather than gone downhill. Plus great netcode and what promises to be a truly great campaign (I was disappointed a little with Halo 2s) mean that I really have no reason to return to the older one.

Well I do not have a 360.
I am however getting Halo 3, but I will only play it over my friends house untill I can get my lazy ass up and find a job.
I am afraid that untill then though, hardly anyone will play Halo 2 anymore... and Matchmaking will be as lonely as it is on TimeSplitters or Doom 3...

I will still be on Halo 2 don't have plans to drop 400 dollars for a console that is just going to break five times in the next year or two.

  • 09.12.2007 7:13 AM PDT

If you're fighting fair, your tactics suck!

Ill probly revisit it some time after i finish halo3.

Freedom of Speech does not equal "Freedom from Consequences when one speaks".

It is a right, and all rights have responsibilities associated with them. Ignore the responsibility, and you tend to lose the right.

I'm so sick and tired of the nonsense and connnection issues in H2 I'll be playing my last MM game in the next few days. The Beta was by far so superior, why would anyone go back? Extra features, better netcode, not to mention connection prioritization, improved feedback options...

Halo 2 will have ran it's course. Now is the time to move on and with all the new features of Halo 3 specially with custom games (change gravity, weapons, vehicles and build your own map the possibles we be endless) there will be no need to play halo2 any more it will be left to the new accounts, standbyers and cheaters that mostly populate the games now.

yes i will still play H2 as i only have an xbox....

halo is the only game i play n own on the xbox(i am sad to say this but i'm a playstation man, not that i've touched it since i got into halo)..

i do not see the point in spending $650 dollars(im in Australia btw) for a basic 360 and then another $100 plus dollars(once again Australian dollars) for a copy of H3 as i dont want or play anything else but halo on the xbox....

so i will just keep on playing H2 everyday n try n make do with that.....

if i wana play H3 that bad i'll just go up the road to my friends house n play split screen with him(like i did wth the Beta).....

  • 09.12.2007 10:26 AM PDT

Where is the "HELL NO!" option?

  • 09.12.2007 11:24 AM PDT

I will. No 360 here, and I still love Halo 2. The people who continuously spout the "Who cares about Halo 2?! Halo 3 is right around the corner" are all counting their chickens before they hatch, in my opinion. Halo 3 might not only be bad, but there still may be a large Halo 2 community for some time.

NO, and I sure won't miss all the BS that comes along with it.

Not likely. Maybe for some sort of memorial gathering on the 9th of November.

I cannot wait to stop playing Halo 2, I love the game, really I do but because of certain 'people' out there it is just no longer fun anymore. I'm so sick of seeing the blue screen during games. For example near enough every double team game I've played recently has ended with a player on the losing side quitting as soon as my team has gone more than 5 points up. The game (not all of the time but more often than not) is full of bad losers and bad sports. Also matchmaking has gone crazy of late, sometimes putting me on the same map (Desolation springs to mind) again and again. Roll on Halo 3. In the beta practically everyone I came across was brilliant and didn't shout abuse down their mics, I have long since disabled voice output in Halo 2. The one thing that worries me though is that Halo 3 might go the same way in two to three years, but that's a way off yet!

Also I cannot wait to not spawn with that ruddy SMG...

If you play a Microsoft CD backwards you can hear demonic voices.
The scary part is that if you play it forward it installs Windows.

"You know what I found? Right in the kernel, in the heart of the operating system, I found a developer's comment that said, `Does this belong here?`" -- Simon Lok about linux kernel in 2005

i found the game play so much better on Halo 3 beta.
maybe it was because there was no modding with H3 but the game seemed fare.
i'm sure i'll play both H2 and H3.


ok i changed my mind...too much cheating in Halo2...i wont be playing it after H3 comes out !!!!

That maybe the case with u, but I know SEVERAL people that hav'nt had such good luck. One friend in particular is on his third 360!!!!!!!!!!! Lets also not forget that the 360 already has a proven failure rate of 30%. Why do u think that they extended the warranty to three years, so customers won't get as pissed off then they might.

I'll have to. No 360 for me. Curse ye gods of M$!

  • 09.12.2007 6:57 PM PDT

Time cannot be measured by a watch, but by moments

i seriously doubt I'll be playing Halo 2 again. The campaign wasn't that great, the multiplayer was a bit unbalanced.

From all the things I hear, though, Halo 3 will most likely fix those problems.

No, because it will turn into a battle ground for the cheaters and laggers. Even in the last month, it has been worse because bungie doesnt care about halo 2 anymore. At least most to all cheating/ lagging will be fixed in halo 3
