What happened to the intelligence in this forum? Since Halo 3 came out, people act like Halo 2 was just as good as Halo 1. When Halo 2 was out, everyone thought it sucked in comparison. You can see the hypocrisy right there.

If Halo 3 is so watered down, why does Halo 2 have such high auto aim and long lunge? That's really casual to me, Halo 3 isn't like that. Your all killin' me, kinda makin' me sick. Stop changing and twisting your opinions so people can agree with you, it doesn't make sense.

Halofighter, you are ignoring the insanely high probability that these opinions are not all being peddled by exactly the same people. Just because a crapload of people said one thing then, and a crapload of people are saying another thing now, why on earth would you assume it's the same crapload?

Why!? I don't know what to say other than that. With Halo 3 out for months why are there still people playing Halo 2. I would hate to see the wait time on those games... I thought I waited long in 3....


u no i was thinking of saying the same thing

For me, it all comes down to what I enjoy playing. I thought the new weapons, vehicles and equipment in Halo 3 were fairly enjoyable, but to be honest they didn't feel exciting to use. I do, however, love that the Sword now has a shorter lunge, and the new Battle Rifle is awesome. However, I still prefer Halo 2, simply because, so far, Halo 3 feels much slower paced to me. And the fast pace is what drew me into Halo in the first place. So I'll stick with Halo 2 for now, even with the intense auto-aim, which I do feel should be removed, and the button glitches, simply because it feels faster and more exciting to me. At least until Halo 3 gives me the same feeling, of course.

Not once did I say everyone was like that. Did I?

I don't understand what you are saying, even though it's opinion, it's clear that sometimes I find that people seem to go from one thing to another without a reason why. If I could explain it I would. It just doesn't make sense if you think Halo 3 is more watered down then Halo 2, it is not. Not depending if you like the game or not. So let's be fair, we all know Halo 3 had less auto aim, less lunge better balance etc. But some people seem to put themselves in a type of denial about this. Quite strange.

hey ... new guy here. I just started xbox live gold on my 360(one month offer, I'm not rich) and I've had trouble trying to go on xbox live and start a simple game of halo 2, it keeps telling me I'm missing some maps. I was under the impression that all I had to was log in and click xbox live to play, but do I have to download ALL THESE MAPS?!?!

Oh and if this should be in another thread or forum I'm sorry in advance.

You'll see me online in Halo 3 after Christmas. I don't have a 360 yet, but I love Halo 3. I have played a few matches at a friend's house, and it just feels great.

When shooting a battle rifle, I don't have to worry about people running up and BXRing me, double shoting me, or quadshotting me, I have time to dodge snipers, I love spike grenades, the assault rifle is a good starting weapon, every weapon is fun to use, the maps (almost) all feel good...

I hate going back to Halo 2 now for anything but CTF because it just seems so glitchy and unfinished now. Still, I will be on it occasionally until Christmas, when I might get a 360.

when your in the xbox live menu in H2 go to the content download and download the map packs (they're free now) it takes a little while but you'll be able to play.

Its not better, I tried playing it again and it was horrible. All the button glitches, and the overpowered battle rifle that beats anything and everything. I dont get how anyone could think that it beats halo 3. oh well, its only 700 people who think its better, not like it affects me.

I play it because I loved the game so much.

  • 12.09.2007 8:10 AM PDT

its funny last night I had more people on my fl on halo 2 then halo 3 and these are all people that have halo 3. halo 3 just does not have that addicting feel that halo 2 has.

  • 12.09.2007 10:00 AM PDT

I've been here longer than it says. I've been on the forums since about 8/06.

Walshy dropped from final boss? What dungeon? We killed the final boss in Karazhan but no Walshy dropped...just the bow and the T4 helm.

Cuz Halo 2 is more enjoyable.

Halo 2 is far better than Halo 3, everything feels right, not sluggish. I rarely come across the supposed "cheaters" either. Its an all-time classic!

No, I didn't say you said everyone was like that. No need to be so defensive.

I don't understand what you are saying, even though it's opinion, it's clear that sometimes I find that people seem to go from one thing to another without a reason why. If I could explain it I would. It just doesn't make sense if you think Halo 3 is more watered down then Halo 2, it is not. Not depending if you like the game or not. So let's be fair, we all know Halo 3 had less auto aim, less lunge better balance etc. But some people seem to put themselves in a type of denial about this. Quite strange.
The thing is the "people" in question are not the same people. Everyone likes different things about the games. Nobody is in denial about anything. You mention some of the changes which I really like and for me they make the game better. But not everyone holds those specific views, and those were not the only changes made in halo 3. Like halo 2 before it, they fixed up a lot of the negative points of the game but they did make plenty of other changes too and not everyone will like them. So far I haven't seen any one person go from one thing to another and 'flip flop' in the way you are describing - what I'm trying to illustrate is that you are generalising pretty hard in assuming that everyone who complained about stuff in halo 2 are now the same ones doing it in halo 3. Some people like a game and some people don't, for varying reasons. This is a different game and so it will be a different set of people who don't like it's changes. Some people think it's improved (like me) and some don't. It's a different split every time. There's no one group of 'haters' who will simply not like anything, which seems to be what you are seeing.

I see nothing strange about this at all.

Halo 1>Halo 2>Halo: Reach>Halo 3

I still play Halo 2 because Halo 3 is really, really bad.

Halo 2 still fun to play. Hell i have more fun playing it right now than halo3.

  • 12.10.2007 5:11 PM PDT

I'm one of those storm chasers that will never have a TV show because I don't scream at clouds.

I still play campaign on both games, but I may venture back into matchmaking on Halo 2 if my 360 doesn't get back soon (Red-Ring).
I still haven't gotten the chance to play through the whole set at once; Halo-Halo 2-Halo 3 back to back. Then again, I was converted to a fan because of the story, not because of the chance to repeatedly kill my friends and complete strangers over and over again.

In other words: I like all 3. So unlike many people who've picked one of the set to cherish above all others, I really win: I have 3 great games.

I tried to go back and play a game of halo 2, it was [b]horrible[/i] after playing 3.

Bad weapons, awful balance model, crazy host advantage. You run a little faster, so what? The laughably high magnetism and jumbo spammy grenade blast radius more than makes up for that.

  • 12.11.2007 3:52 AM PDT

I honestly can't believe the question SeanConnery is asking. Some people just like Halo 2 more, some don't have a 360... the list goes on. I personally love Halo 2 more than halo 3.

The Maps in Halo 2 Multiplayer are awsome... But the gameplay sucks... Halo 3 is way better, if only it had as good maps as H2 did

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.

I think Halo2 is better!
I don't have a 360.
My brother has Halo3 so i can just watch him play.


Halo2 is better
