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.


Ah, Asteroids. Still my favorite game of all time.

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


I should buy an Intellivision. Worth the investment? Also, thanks for that playcable link, I love learning new things about the classics.

I keep getting banned since the mods are unfunny and suck at their jobs!

because there are a few classic maps that aren't avaible in Halo 3,
maybe also for the campaign? I have no idea.

The new game is not up to date. I keep seeing people say well they got rid of host, but they didn't. There's still a host, and if you don't believe it have somebody quit the game and you'll see the host change if they got host. They just put Halo3 out to make more money before the holiday season. Plus they put out a new map pack that was suppost to be released with the game. There worried about money. Halo2 was a better game yes there were cheats and yes there were glitches, but everybody knew that. If you smacked somebody it would register regardless, not so much in Halo3. Halo3 is a watered down version of halo2. Bungie needs to step it up. They just need to make the game solid. A certain amout of shots kill somebody, not just shoot until they fall. I' ve emptied an entire clip in somebody and shot them in the head, but yet they still don't die. But when they shoot 3 shots it kills me with a full shield. This game is very sad, and needs work. Please fix this game. Now days it just makes me want to break the control and get rid of the 360.

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.


Well the only two major reasons i still play Halo 2 is that for one, in my opinion Halo 2 is more based on teams rather than just one really good player,also Halo 2 has better playlists, but if bun gie would fixe these things in halo 3, i'd play it more often.

Because the only way a lot of players know how to win is with button glitches...ehem MLG PLAYERS. Laaaaaaaaaaaame.

If you take out the button glitches the mlg pros would still be better than half of the halo players out there, final boss is still rpoops on kids in H3, which doesnt have button glitches. The reason the mlg pros are so good is they have really good chemistry and team work, its not like ogre1 just camps around a corner waiting to bxr ppl, they use the button glitches instinctively, where as a random halo player might choke when somone is in there face. Get off the button glitches seriously, if you are unable to press the buttons bx and r then you should have yourself looked at for downsyndrome.

I just got Halo 2 for xmas:-

Reasons:

It doesn't suck half as much as halo3

its fun

the maps aren't boring and dull.

The spawns aren't homo-blam!-.

The weapons are well balanced

and when I snipe or melee someone they actually die.

halo 2 was the worst POS game ive ever played. take everything that made halo 1 so amazing, make all of it terrible, and there you have halo 2. the weapons were trash, the pistols sucked, the dual needlers sucked, the shotgun was weak as fck, u could shoot some1 in the face with a rocket nd theyd still b alive, and for whoever said halo 3 players only use glitches 2 win...WTF ARE U TALKIN ABOUT U NEWB!!!!! halo 2 was nothing BUT glitches. the rocket/sword lunge, the invisible stairs, the pogo jump, etc. if ur too poor to afford halo 3 jus admit it, dnt knock it

the fact that you can empty an entire clip into some1 nd they dnt die, nd then they shoot u 3 times nd u DO die, is wat makes the game good. bcuz now ppl like u cant jus run around with an assault rifle at long range nd kill some1 by just shooting rapidly. u have to actually aim now :D i know, it makes the game harder for you, but get used 2 it

I agree. Halo 2 was much faster paced than Halo 3. Halo 3 is very slow.

I agree but my friends don't

Campiagn Kill Count :31,745. And growing.

The Revisionaries- One of the greatest screenshot groups on B.net. With 250 members and growing.

Halo 2 has better put together maps, and it has Team SWAT and Team Snipers which Halo 3 is currently lacking.

Also, it's just something different. Just because Halo 3 is better doesn't mean that I can't go back and play a different game, even if it is not as well put together.
