My friend has Halo3. I go over there mostly everyday to play it.. Sometimes my friend is just being stupid and is soo mad he starts to say stuff that isnt true like how my other friend had killed him (Beat him to the beat down) he gets soo mad and ends up quiting for the day. When im over his house,I just feel like playing Halo2,But I cant because one of his friends had stolen it when i was gnna buy his regular xbox.
So I think Halo2 is better because when i get killed by a dude in a hyabusa helmet it pi**es me off because we didnt have those helms in Halo2!
I am a Halo2 addict,The new weapons make Halo3 suck even more in my opinion. No im not mad because i get mowed down by a Gravity Hammer/DuelMaulers every other second; i'm mad because Bungie put those overpowered weapons that they think wil dominate any match. When obviously a guy will lunge at you with a sword,They know by instinct (Unless your a noob;No offence) that you'll throw a plasma/spike at them!

so what do you think is better?
Halo2 or Halo3?
And please explain why as I love to read your stories!

Halo 2. It makes no sense for me to buy a 360 just so i could get Halo 3. Halo 2 is just fine. Heck i even play Halo 1 now and then. I also think that all of them could use different improvements like: Halo 1's pistol should be in all 3 games because it has zoom and kicks ass. Another thing is that halo 1 should have xbox live. Lastly i like that halo 1 has health bars it makes it so you know how close you are to death when your shields go down.

Well everyone has their own preferences. But the weapons? They were the single worst aspect of halo 2 and the single best one in Halo 3. Every weapon is now useful and the weapon balance is very good.

Yes I agree.
Also the graphics would help also with the Halo3 and their brutes!

Well Yes; I have Halo: CE for the comp and its still unbelievable how many people still play it!
And the pistol,I was dissapointed when the zoom got removed in Halo3, But i didn't notice when i played Halo2,eh I guess i'll need to play H2 for awhile
:P

I'm not exactly sure if this should be in this thread, but, I have a friend that plays Halo 3, but he also plays Halo 2 for the PC. Somehow, he has achievements for Halo 2 on his Gamercard. Can anyone tell me how he did this?

BTW, I love Halo 3 more than Halo 2. But I still go back to Halo 2 every now and again for SWAT and Team Snipers.

Halo 2 for the PC is a GFWL (Games for Windows Live) title that was released with many of the bells and whistles of an Xbox 360 Live game. That includes achievements, voice, full 360 controller support, Live friends list, etc. The achievements whether they're earned on the PC or Xbox are linked to your Live account and can be seen on either platform.

Definitely Halo 2. For one, and the most obvious, is that it's a helluva lot cheaper than Halo 3, and the online compatibility is so much better than Halo 3. Plus, most (if not all) of the bugs have been worked out of Halo 2, whereas there are plenty of glitches (some not so good) with the Halo 3 multiplayer that hampers the experience. Now, Halo 3 does have Halo 2 beat with vehicles, weapons and graphics, but you can't beat Halo 2's atmosphere, plus the fact that it's so much more fun to play.
