Halo 2 is a good change of pace. That's the good thing about a trilogy of good games, you can take your pick of play styles.

I assume you were asleep on your keyboard when you wrote this, Seriously who writes that at the end of a sentence do you talk like that in person?
In addition to what I wrote in my first post; Halo2 is way faster paced.

im somewhat random, and am heavily influenced by lack of sleep and waking up at 6 AM, then walking in -4degrees celcius to work.
And its common sence, tipping your waitress guarantees her friendliness next time she serves.

If I don't get tips at my job then I don't tip people, unless it's on the bill.

My halo 2 stats
Kitsune are often presented as tricksters, with motives that vary from mischief to malevolence. Stories tell of kitsune playing tricks on overly proud Trolls, greedy Recon armour seekers, and boastful commoners, while the crueler ones abuse poor forum goers and topic starters or devout Ninjas.

Today was the first day in a long while that I have played Halo 2.
This belongs in the halo 2 forum then.

It was so much fun there were no kids camping with maulers
You don't have any strategies at all do you? Just run and gun...

no running at each other shooting stupid Assault Rifles
Instead sitting and taking potshots at each other with battlerifles, or running towards each other shooting stupid SMG that does not do any damage.

Brute shots, Battle rifles, and Sniper rifles weren't broken
Define broken that can not be attributed to lag or working as the devs intended.
No?
Okay moving on.

Can you guess who won the fist fight in H2?
The host

the one to who delivered the blow first.
You're doing it wrong, that's all i can say...

Sorry to all the H3 fanboys who can't see that the game is obviously broken but this game is true fun
Don't like opposing points do we? Starts with the name calling, nice one, did you think of that yourself?
You seem to be a Halo 2 fanboy that cannot see that halo 2 is just as, if not more broken, completely denying all bad parts of halo 2 to be honest.

Halo 3 is just frustrating
Yes because you are always right and nobody can dispute that, but in reality, you are just lacking skill.

On a side note pretty much everybody I have played in H2 were returnees from H3 saying that the game blows.
Yes, they couldn't stand the fact that they didn't dominate noobs anymore and actually had to adjust to a new game.

Dude, I can destroy n***s all day in H3 I just have more fun doing it in H2.

EDIT: This also belongs in the H3 forums because it's of the topic.

Cool, go hang with the halo 2 fanboys. It's a horribly flawed game that rewards exploitation and power weapon whoring rather than skill. Halo 3 isn't perfect, it has it's problems, but it's better than halo 2.

Most of the problems halo 3 has (like too many maulers, not enough good maps) will likely be sorted out. Halo 2's problems are staying where they are.

You want a competitive halo game, play halo 1.

No, just BXRs, and BXBs instead.

no running at each other shooting stupid Assault Rifles,
No, just RRXYYRRX from across the map instead, or running toward each other with SMGs.

Brute shots, Battle rifles, and Sniper rifles weren't broken.
Not that they are now, they just take more aim due to smaller hitboxes and a slower rate of fire on the latter.

And note that the Halo 3 amount is MUCH larger still. People like Halo 3 because it is balanced and you need more skill to play it. You are not always helpless due to the BR's overpowering everything (i.e. you can survive when spawning with the AR) and you need to adapt to numerous situations in order to defeat the balanced players. I largely prefer Halo 3, but only can't play it because I don't own a 360.

I still have played the game at another's house, mind you.

TRIFORCE

RIP Halo 2

why does the human race ALWAYS try to separate themselves from each other? I don't get it, it's sooo stupid.

I can understand seeing the differences in things like race and where you live (even if that's not totally right), but getting mad at each other and making stupid remarks about the other when you both are part of the halo community is just stupid. That's like getting mad at a friend who likes girls with blond hair because you like girls with brown hair...

come on guys, be a little bit more logical; instead of arguing about what takes skill or doesn't, why don't you discuss what you like about a certain game and why? Discuss things without making stupid remarks like "it's garbage", "it takes no skill", "it's broken"; say stuff like "well, i don't think it's the best thing because (a good explanation)..."

lets not hate each other because we like a certain halo game, lets like each other because we like halo.

Its only here for discussion, you guys dont have to start throwing mud around just because of a dissagreement over which Halo game is better, yeah so halo 3 has its flaws, like the campaign being too short and rediculously easy, and the halo 2 campaign was flawed aswell, the only perfect halo campaign was the first game, but obviously Bungie couldnt clone the first game 3 times could they that would've been boring.

They had to throw in something new with each game, like the dual wielding, i wasnt a fan at first but you get used to it, just like Halo 3 multiplayer, its just something you gotta grin and bear, get used to it, learn a new way of playing, new tactics, new ways of hunting and stuff.

And like sago said, lets not hate because of our differences in preference to Halo, lets LOVE because we LIKE HALO...........................................

I happen to play both Halo 2 and Halo 3 equally.

If I want to play competitively on good maps I will generally pop in my H2 disc.

If I want to play a game that has bad maps with bad weapons that encourage camping I will pop in my H3 disc.

That last statement was a little harsh, but I really don't enjoy Halo 3 that much unless I am playing custom games where I can change things to make them more to my liking. Halo 3 is not a bad game by any means, but personally, I think H2 blows it out of the water with the fun factor.

The weapons were the WORST thing about halo 2. The more I used them the more I hated them. Too much magnetism on the precision weapons, terrible accuracy and range on the automatic ones. The shotgun and the SMG spread were literally like a donut. They deliberately programmed it so that no bullets even went near the middle of the reticle. Halo 3's weapon balance is so much better it's not even funny. Well, once the mauler issue is addressed it will be anyway.

but personally, I think H2 blows it out of the water with the fun factor.
Fair enough, each to their own. Your reaction to Halo 3 sounds exactly like mine to Halo 2 when it came out so I can at least relate.
