Subject: Halo 2 better than 3?

Teamwork means staying out of my way.

Asking those of you who have played Halo 3 and are now playing Halo 2 again, do you think H2 is better? I think it is just because the game seems to have some set of game rules. In Halo 3, anything can happen. You can hit someone with a laser which should kill them in one shot and one time it kills them the next it doesn't. The melee at the same thing is messed up.

Melee in Halo 2 is better. While starting with a SMG is annoying, having AR at the beginning is even more so. The maps on 2 are way more fun as well. I wish that Halo 2 was played competitively now instead of Halo 3.

I think that Halo 3 is sooooo much better than halo 2. In Halo 2 when you're re-spawned with a duel-wield-able, like the SMG, it was mostly who can do a duel better. in Halo 3, you get the assault rifle that has a more shallower clip, plus you cannot duel-wield that weapon. It brings back the melee and grenades back into the game, which was Bunjie's hope.
Plus I think that Halo 2 is totally for noobs. I'm sorry, not to hate on anyone, but I think that unless you don't have a 360 and Halo 3, you really need to open you're eyes. I think that the sniping in Halo 3 is a lot better, because you actually have to aim you're cross-hair. In halo 2, all you have to do is "swipe snipe" the right way. Halo 2 is fun to play once in a while, but I like Halo 3 better though because it challenges me more. So if you're one of those people who say that they've played Halo 3 and like halo 2 better, then either Halo 3 is too hard for you and/or you don't want to challenge yourself.... I do think that Bunjie should bring back clans and maps like "Lockout" because I like that map the most in Halo 2 (Along with everyone else...=]]) . Also, that they get the melee way thet was in Halo 2. Those are the only issues I have with Halo 3.

i am just too in love with halo 2's multiplayer to give it up. Maybe when H3 gets more maps and playlists i will stop halo 2, but not now!

halo three is the -blam!- mabe we can play 2gether 2 see how good u realy are

  • 10.21.2007 10:09 PM PDT

i love 3 and im really good at it,but each time i go back and play 2 i just enjoy it. Button glitches bring depth to the game. its always fun to trash talk on 2,4 shot so easily on 2, BXB, BXR, etc. H2 is just fast paced.

I definently agree with the sniping difference between Halo 2 & 3. Halo 2 sniping was too easy and any noob with crossed eyes could snipe and still hit something. That's why I think they should bring back team snipers. I like team slayer and all, by it takes a lil more skill when u actually put players together that have the same weapons as opposed to a rocket and a magnum. But obviously, most people like the weapon mismatch since ya get team shotty snipers everyonce in a while for those that don't have any sniper skill up close, making it very lame. That is about all I've got against Halo 3 matchmaking. That and I don't know if anyone has heard anything about noobs not playing right to boost achievments, grow up, if you can't get them legit what is the point of calling them achievments. Probably hear, oh but ya get this really cool armor, please, sounds like my girlfriend 'asking for money in victoria secret. get a job and buy your own undies!!! lol

Let's compare. Halo 3 has much better things like blowing up scarabs, powerups, cool grenades, and better vehicles.

Weaponry in Halo 3 is awesome sometimes.

Pros: Sword is not unlimited in multiplayer, so no overpowering
Many others like such; shotgun pistols are alright

Cons: PPistol charge drains energy
Assault rifle is crazy powered
Sword graphs suck
No rocket tracking


Storyline:

Halo 3 owns there. Period.

I think Halo 3 wins. It's got things that Halo 2 doesn't and it isn't too bad with the cons.

I have a 360 and own halo 3, i'm not saying its bad but overall its just messed up, they should just call it : HALO 3 FORGE AND THEATRE PARTY, cause after all thats the only thing good about it (campaign is just boring)

  • 10.24.2007 7:10 AM PDT

Halo 3 is better all around to me.

The campaign is much more involved and you actually get a sense of teamwork/involvement this time around.

The multiplayer has deeper maps and better weapons.

Some aspects of Halo 2 are better (melee), but other than that...

Halo 2 is EXTREMELY better............. I mean come on, you can get sniped from 200 feat away with an assault rifle. And they added to many of the same weapon classes on there for ex: rocket laucher, spartan laser, flamethrower, and missile pod, and with swords...... GRAVITY HAMMER????????????

  • 10.24.2007 5:59 PM PDT

Yea, I think Halo 2 is better. Not way better but better. i havent played it a lot since i dont have a 360 yet but the game itself just didnt live up to its expectations if you ask me. Halo 2's maps are better to and yea there is a sniping difference but o well. the game is just better and yeah whatts this with a gravity hammer?!?

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

Halo 2 will always be better in BTB skirmish. The new assult and territories is retarded. I wish halo 2 still had BTB skirmish, thats all i would play still.

sniping is to easy
sticking is to easy
turrets in "swords"
turrents in "rockets"
leveling is glitched
achievements are glitched
"files from halo 3 could not be recieved"
getting booted for no reason.

Halo 1 is better than both.

Halo 3 IS better than Halo 2 but the way Bungie is handling Halo 3 makes it look terrible. Halo 3 has potential but if I can find a damn match, I would still play Halo 2.


I rarely have trouble finding matches.

Halo 2 -blam!- owns Halo 3.
Its way more quick paced and adrenaline pumping.

no it is not. look i loved halo 2 and i still play it constantly but come on halo 2 will not be here for ever. so take a close look at halo 2 and 3 you will soon realize that halo 3 is the best decision you will ever make in your gaming career or habit. lol.

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!"

I enjoy Halo 3 much, much more. Not saying Halo 2 is bad of course.

That's a broad, senseless assumption. I prefer Halo 2 because I find it to be more fun, in many ways, than Halo 3. Not because it's too hard or I shy away from a challenge.
