Because its really fun still. Go and play it if you have not in a while. 1 time shouldn't hurt. Its still fun. So if you ever get tired of halo 2 go back to halo 3 or vise versa.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

Mainly because of friends, or at least that's why I do it. Some people still have yet to get a 360 due to income shortages. So some are stuck with what they have.

hell if you get three friends together, go and play Halo 1, three of my friends and i just played all last night and had so much fun, we would just keep playing slayer and some other random game types on the same maps over and over and over.

Halo 2 is one of the best game of all, and is still so funny to play.
and cuz some people dont have 360 or halo 3 that's one of the reasons too though
anyway i still like halo 2...

Yea, good times... a lot of fun....

Some people are still playing cause they don'T have a 360 and some r not playing H3 cause it's a garbage game. There a Host on H3, there is still stanby, glitches, and bad lag. THe only good point in H3 is no auto-aim. The game is not fast enough to be competitive the melee system is crappy the sniper bug (when you shoot people and you see the blood come out but the guy doesn't die)Well until now Halo 3 it's the baddest Halo and probably competitive game i'Ve ever played the beta was awsome but the final version s***. Yeah glitches were -blam!- in H2 but they were bringing competition you had to mastered them to be good but now in H3 two weapon need skill Br and Sniper. In my own word I think that Halo 3 is a noob game made for noob. Always complaining to hard just try harder if you can'T try harder in a videogame well I don'T wanna see in real life. I've seen a lot of omprovement in the past 2 week but it'S still not enough to make the game good for me it's too slow, maps are too big and not balanced, NADES not enough powerful. Well enough for now i know that bungie CAN do better and they got to work hard ! I hope they're gonne make the game better cause until now it s*** !

I couldnt get H3 right away because of money so I played H2. Then not even a month after I finally get online with H3 my third 360 died. I know Im crying a damn river.

Because some people might prefer it, and because some people just fancy a change and revisiting a game they liked.

translation of your opening statement: "i cant believe people are still playing what alot of gamers consider one of the greatest online shooters of all time."

logical statement?

You missed the bit about the functionally near-identical and technically more up-to-date sequel.

I still play intellivision...so playing halo 2 isn't that much of a trip back in time for me...

Thats right intellivision...go Google it kids..or ask your parents.

If you like XBL...wrap your young minds around playcable

beacuse I miss Midship, Acention, Lockout, IVORY TOWER, Beaver Creek.

Why play super mario bros. when you could play Super Mario galaxy? Because its fun.Because I like the game.
Why is everyone on this "If it isn't Brand New it isn't good" trip?! ever heard of classics?! just because its new doesn't mean its good.

Oh and I still have my Atari 2600, 8bit Nintendo,Sega Genesis.All still work.Great for times when a bunch of friends are over. Kids these days will still play the crap out of these games.

Glitches eliminate the need for pure skill and ability, i have never stand bying in halo 3 and with 820,703 or more players on at any time within a day there is going to be lag.

I really can't see how someone can still think halo 2 is better than Halo 3. Halo 2 has host advantage, standbying, horrendous amount of auto-aim, BR glitches, and bad lag. I know some people don't have an xbox 360 yet which is why probably some still play it but I think the number of people playing it will go down after Christmas when some more kids get 360's and Halo 3 for Christmas.

There is no glitches in Halo 3... but anyways, because some people just like it better. I myself wouldn't play Halo 2, but sometimes it's just fun to go back to.
