The damn 'RED RING OF DEATH' !!!!!

Looks like I'll be playing Halo 2 for the next month...........

  • 11.16.2007 5:56 AM PDT

I like Call of Duty and Gears of War, AND Halo. Why must everyone else like only one or the other?

I just got the RRoD today too. So guess we're both stuck with Halo2 on the original Xbox until we get our 360s back. And after having just played a BTB game here in Halo2 I already miss Halo3 and the AR spawn.

It's amazing how quiet halo 2 is. Without all the background gunfire, explosions and vehicles in the distance. It's ALMOST calming..... lol.

Also amazing is how insanely awful the graphics are in comparison. Makes me feel like my eyes are going bad.

Yup. I know the graphics are better with Halo3 but I guess you really can't see how much better until you've gone and played Halo2 again. Oh well, at least I can play Team Snipers again. Too bad that isn't a playlist in Halo3 yet.

Halo 2 is still fun depending on the gametype. I still like the Assault matches and the 1 flag CTF on Zanzibar and Headlong. Everything else is boring though. The weapon diversity (and effectiveness) is so much better in Halo 3... The Needler actually works!

I don't have a 360 though, so unless I am invited somewhere, I still only play Halo 2.

I got the RROD like 5 times in one night trying to start a Solo game, so i started H3 MM and got it to work so I still got to play H3.(ps I PWNED)

RIP Halo 2

if you don't like the smg spawn, play hardcore - that's always fun.

I think Halo 2 Multiplayer will live because people who are both crappy in Halo 3, and good in both, will come back at one point or another. I think the biggest reason is going to be that having unbalanced weapons is fun, since certain weapons SHOULD be a lot weaker/stronger than others. It makes logical sense.


Also because of the amount of people who have yet to get a 360; they'll continue playing this.

Halo 3 is pretty kool...but I couldn't say that its multiplayer was nearly better than Halo 2's.

Halo 3 has better multiplayer depending on what you're looking for. Permutations aside, 3 focuses more on the lone wolf aspect, I think, where as Halo 2 is more of a team-oriented XBL experience.

Everyone is entitled to their own wrong opinion.


I'm part of the Bungie.net Minecraft group/server called SeptaCrafters
We're a Bungie.net group that goes to our very own Bungie server. Most players are from the Halo community either off Bungie itself or through word to Halo friends.

Halo2 is better then Halo3

Gee. Hope the kid's okay! :)

This wasn't meant to be a 2vs3 thread. I just thought it was funny that I'm stuck paying H2 because my 360 crashed and burned. Still haven't gotten the box to send it back in yet. It's going to take freakin forever to get it back. Sux. Even H2 looks loads better on a 360.

I haven't got the box to send it back in either. This is the first time I got the RRoD. How long does it normally take for them to get the box to you?

Usually not long. We'll probably get them today but tomorrow at the latest. This'll be my second failure. First one happened about 2 months after initial purchase almost 2 years ago today.

I think after I get my 360, whether it dies or not, I'll still play my old school Xbox from time to time. I've pimped that baby out so much that at this point theres now way I could just leave it to die.

On the other side, I 'd really prefer to NOT have it die shortly after I get it. However, new ones don't seem to have this problem, so I might be ok for a time.

dunno. Maybe massive hardware failure fall-out.

This whole fiasco is costing Microsoft $$$$$$$

You'd think that by now MS would have fixed the problems with the 360. I know when I bought my 360 Elite the day it came out as my very first 360 I thought maybe by now with all the stories on the net about the RRoD MS would have fixed the problem for at least their newest version of the console. Guess not. Oh well, it lasted over half a year, that's better than some I've heard of.

  • 11.20.2007 5:50 PM PDT

Speaking of hardware failures, my 360 thought that it didn't need to read discs anymore, so now I have to get it replaced. The sad thing is that I can't even play Halo 2, I sold my original Xbox.

ALWAYS have a back-up plan! :)

On the flip side though maybe a break will do you some good! ;)
