Antisign, I like Halo 3 more. Only reason I play Halo 2 anymore is to play SWAT. Once it's in Halo 3 I probably won't play 2 anymore.

Amen. Long live SWAT.

I'll sign to that, but since H3 was released I have not played H2, I want to for the maps and the old BR and the relevance of duals but the fact that the vast majority of the population is playing H3 keeps me there.

Halo CE is the best halo for skill, but for user interface, live, online community halo 3 as a game is better then halo 2

No need to beg for mercy, you ain't getting any.

i like both games, but halo 3 is better. halo 2 was fun and i miss some of the things it had. but i love halo 3, u have forging, theater, and more. so it's awesome. just because u cant afford a 360 and halo 3 that does not mean u can complaint about halo 3

So signed. I can honestly not come up with one single thing that is better in Halo 3. What differs them the most though, to Halo 2´s favor, is that the control. Sure theres no auto aim in Halo 3 but thats insignificant in this discussion, its the entire handling of the character that is different. Halo 3 just feels slow and glitchy to me and I wouldnt even give it a 8/10 whereas Halo 2 is a 10/10 and beyond.

Only reason to why I´m even playing Halo 3 is that everyone abandoend Halo 2 for it and that is just sad. I can´t be serious when I´m playing Halo 3 due to all the small but irritating flaws and will never get a level 50 in it. Freaking sad that MLG is going to use Halo 3 instead of Halo 2. I will laugh when the 360´s are freezing during the big games.

As a campaign only player; H-2 is far longer and more difficult. Way more bang for the buck. I just did a Covenant no die on Mythic in under 54 minutes. That number would be almost impossible for any H-2 level on Legendary.

1/2 of H-2 is better. At least.
The other is for you multiplayer guys to decide.

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 and 3 are almost completely different games. I play them both about just as much.. almost.

Halo 2 had wayy better levels, and the three hit kill melee is much more fair than Halo 3's two hit kill melee. Halo 3 has less auto aim on snipers and stuff though, which is better.

If they made a perfect mix of the two, Halo would be perfect.

Well, the other half is better too. The problem with Halo 3 is that the levels are so terrible compared to Halo 2. Might be possible Bungie realized this halfway through and decided to start work on Forge so that the problem of boring levels would solve itself. I own both games, and whenever I play Halo 2 it's just more fun. Signed

I definitely enjoyed multiplayer a lot more on Halo 2. So I guess I like Halo 2 more... Good memories I have of Halo 2...

I would get online and play with the same bunch of guys for around 6 hours a day... We'd get out of the levels, go have fun in MM, actually have fun. The online community was different, at least before Christmas '04. Most people would play for fun, not level.
So maybe 80% of my friends list is made up of guys I met in the first two months of Halo 2 online.
So far in Halo 3 I have not enjoyed ranked MM at all. Forge is fun though... Maybe it's because my older friends don't play much anymore. Not being able to glitch and get out of levels kinda spoiled a bit of fun too...

I think the good times I had in Halo 2 are too much for Halo 3 to live up to, but we'll see...

*Lockout and Headlong sign it for me.

"To be a Gringo in Mexico — ah, that is euthanasia."

I couldn't agree with you more Chief. Playing Halo 2 held some amazing times.

Now, I rarely play Halo 3 because I do not own an Xbox 360, but from what I have played, it is still fun.

And, a vast majority of the people on Halo 2 now are not as good, so it makes for games where I get to annihilate some kids.

  • 03.18.2008 9:46 AM PDT

Yeah, I guess you could say I play competitavely. (=

I love when people claim halo 2 takes more skill then halo 3. First of all halo 2's auto aim is ridiculous secondly the hit boxes in that game are huge. So that basically takes all the skill out of aiming. The only thing that really added some skill to the game were the button glitches. Being able to double shot somebody in a BR dual was essential when playing in the higher levels because anybody can 4 shot in h2. Also the nades had a huge blast radius making them nearly impossible to avoid in certain situations. On top of that you could have up to 8 nades. There were a few things in halo 2 that could seperate the great from good players ( nade launching, button glitches ) but overall halo 3 requires alot more skill in terms of aiming and map control. The game is also alot more balanced even if you don't start with BRs because the AR can actually compete with a BR in mid range situations if your any good with nades. In halo 2 you didn't have a chance with an SMG against anything really.

Signed because......

1. Halo 2 has wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better maps than halo 3.( Biggest problem in halo 3)

2. Halo 3 has absolutely HORRIBLE spawns. Halo 2 has fine spawns.

3. Beatdown system sucks in halo 3 where as in halo 2 it was flawless.

4. In halo 3 you can only hold 4 grenades.(Fire bomb never shows up, and there are very few maps that have both plasma and spike.) In halo 3 you can hold 8 grenades on every map AND unlike Halo 3 the stickies are all useful unlike those worthless spike grenades.

5. Last but not least are the little -blam!- things that changed. Things like equipment, respawning explosive crates, invisible walls that are so restricting they get in you way when your not even trying to get out of the map, and ect. Halo 2 had very few small annoyances compared to Halo 3.

To be honest i never really liked halo 2 that much. I mean i thought it was a good game, but that bungie could do alot more if they made another Halo. Boy was i wrong! Halo 3 makes me realize just how great halo 2 really was.

Anti-Sign.

Sure I liked Halo 2 Maps better for their carnage, but I'm sure Avalanche will take care of that, heh, heh.

Also Halo 2 doesn't have Forge or Theatre.
