coz halo 3 is for nubs....

its as simple as that. u pick up any weapon n shoot n u kill. all weapoms r the same, u can take on anyone with any weapon, wheres the skill in that?

thats y there's a heap of lvl 50's on there already that had been playing halo 2 for years n never gt passed lvl 20...

i myself dont button combo, glitch or superbounce but i still prefer H2, y? coz it actually takes skill to play n do well in....

i play games for a challenge, weres the challenge in H3?

halo 3 gets really annoying sometimes with the dying out of nowhere, and beatdowns that don't make any sense, if you ever really liked halo 2 then you would have no problem going back from time to time. It's a refreshing break once in a while.

There's a fine line between fun and frustrating, halo3 is just not fun and very frustrating.

I find it's slower and sluggish than halo2, the masses who have their 360 and never had an xbox1 or halo2 will probably never know about it but those coming from halo2 are just dissapointed, the levels look like they were designed by a 12 year old, and that laser gun is cheap, point, shoot enemy dies, no skill.

all that effort put into halo3's custom games, theatre and forge should have been spent on making the multiplayer better

agreed.

i still play H2 almost everyday and i still think its way better then H3 but it is getting harder everyday to find games cuz of everyone starting to play H3. why do i still play H2? cuz i have played H3 live a lot with my friends and i just think bungie went totally overboard with the weapons and napes and shields and s**t. theres so much -blam!- to do it just cant be as fun and as competitive as H2. the weapons are so overboard its just stupid. gravity hammer? missile pods, flame throwers? bubble sheilds? dont you guys miss just the simple 2 semi auto weapons and a few granades? i mean come on thats all you need. if H2 had H3 graffix i think most people would switch back.

I really enjoy playing Halo 2 from time to time, even though I have Halo 3. It's fun becauser it's a different game. While they're obviously very similar, they have a lot of differences, and the changes between the two keep them fresh. It's also a matter of nostalgia - I spent many hours of my life playing Halo 2, and I'm not going to just forget all that simply because Halo 3 came out. I had some fantastic times with Halo 2, and there's nothing saying that all that needs to be over (espeically since cheating no longer seems to be such a problem as it was in Halo 2 for quite a while).

It's a lot of fun to return to something you know so well, and do all the old things you used to. Don't get me wrong - I love Halo 3, but it's still ridiculously fun to go around, double shotting and BXRing people in Lockout and Ivory Tower.
