I miss all my fun games of halo 2, it was a much better game than halo 3. The weapons were more balanced. The levels were better designed. The sniper did not lag. I would love to play it again but almost all the players were stolen by Halo 3!!!!! Three months before halo 3 came out my H2 disc broke so i didnt get to enjoy its last months. When i ot a new copy it was dead, nobody played it and none of my friends wanted to play it. I just want to know if anyone else feels this way.

oh by the way sorry if this seems like a biased poll, i only added what are you smoking cause thats what my friend says when i say i miss halo 2 lol

TEAM Free For All? I can't wait to see how Bungie pulls this one off.

Yeah, it's awesome. Legendary Brawl is the world's only 1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1 team multiplayer experience.

when halo 3 came out everyone who had a 360 played that. i did too. I have gone back to halo 2 lately and played that. I think that they werent ready to put out halo 3 and didnt put enough thought into it or the game as much as they should have. Halo 2 started dying the last couple months before halo 3 came out, but all the true devoted players still played. They needed to make the halo 3 to keep the population alive in their games, in my oppion. I dont think that they were ready to put out a new game though, i think they should have put more thought into the game especially the campaign. Im not saying its not nice to have a halo 3 but i wish i could still play halo 2 and actually have more then 2 good people on my friends list still play it. The playlists were also so much better because it was what all the devoted players to halo 2 liked and now ther are so many new players in halo 3 that they add stupid playlists like griffball and infection and stupid gametypes such as shotty snipers.I also dont like how they have pistol as secondary in snipers, i lost a dubble team game to some bad kids because they gained the lead by 2 and picked up our pistols and duel wheeled them. At the beggining of Halo 2 they had that but they soon changed it to beem rifle secondary, did they not learn from their past mistakes and make it beem rifle secondary. Even if they do release team snipers in halo 3 theyll probably find some way to ruin it by making small gametypes like shotty snipers in the playlist. Halo 3 was a failure in some ways but got better than halo 2 in other ways. Such as the BR spread and the bash and the playlists the objective gametypes in Lone Wolves and the leveling system. Its like were back at the beggining of halo 2 again. Rumple Pit in halo 2 had objective gametypes and knowone liked them so they took them out. The ranking system in the beggining of halo 2 was to hard to level up so they reset the stats. In halo 3 its WAY to EASY to level up. Halo 3 has already bored me because its to easy to get a 50 there is no challenge. It also kind of makes me mad when i see level 45 elites that in halo 2 couldnt get a 15 and were always like level 10 or the new kids to halo 3 that are like 40s that didnt even play halo 2. Also all the maps in halo 3 are not thought out as much as they should be like in halo 2. They all have something to them that kind of ruins them. Once lockout comes out, O! Sorry blackout im sure something about it will be ruined. Because spawns are even worse in halo 3 epecially on narrows and high ground. Some maps are unfair for one side of the map. like on narrows how red team gets the power drain and can toss it off the lift and get rockets easily. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This is all my oppion. so dont get mad at me if you dissagree this is just what i think.

You know whats ironic? People said the same things when Halo 2 came out. You gotta get up and smell the coffee. The only reason you feel these things is because you have nostalgia over H2 i did the same thing when H2 and H3 came out. But i love all these games.

Me, I like H3 but I've recently started playing H2 again and I'm enjoying playing it more at the moment. With exception of Rumble Pit It just takes so long to find a match anymore.

Extra features, graphics Halo 3 > Halo 2

Gameplay, maps and overall fun factor Halo 2 > Halo 3

I prefer H3 for graphics, vehicles, weapon balance but H2 has much better maps. Which is completely baffling really.

The weapons were more balanced.

i miss bxr's and team snipers...and clans...and coagulation...and midship...and elites being the main enemy because they basically didnt do anything in halo 3, so it was better off them being the enemy than useless support...and modders...and turf...and glitches...and "pilotable" banshees...and backwash...and being able to hold 4 of every grenade...and u know what, every halo 2 map EXCEPT worlock (incredibly overused map in Hard Core)...and being able to put your gun down so you could make decent machinima film...and being able to say ill take you 1v1 when it ment something, cause now saying 1v1 in halo 3 is just pathetic, since the game requiers no skill it takes no skill to win...and when you threw grenades at the elites in campain sometimes they would shout "DEMON FLARE" which i think is -blamin- hilarious...and being able to get outside of maps without dying instantly...and being able to make multiple profiles...but halo 3 has forge and customizable armor and vetoing and online co-op...and.................................................. ........................................

also if anyone wants to play some halo 2 my gamertag is NFH Fuggernaut. i may not be that good but i still know what its like to have no one else that wants to play halo 2, so send me a friend rq if u wanna play. my favorite playlist is Team Snipers =)

ARBITER, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT BUTTER!!! WORT WORT WORT.

The campaign wasn't fun, skulls were easy to find on my efforts to suprise flank the enemies.. and there's a skull menu, the storyline wasn't very impressive, due to it's collapsing that started with the introduction of a Gravemind in Halo 2. So let's see...

Halo 1 ends in an extremely classy manner.

Halo 2 ends with a boss showdown, though you are playing as the guy you once fought.

Halo 3, you're Master Chief all the way till the end, and there's supposed to be a love story going on between him and Cortana, as well as there's a boss ending.

I think Halo 3 was designed to be nice and complex, though it lacked some punch in the story to make the complex stand out as complex. It didn't make sense to do Halo 3... it was nearly as bad as Episode III, and it was just as wanted by the public. That says something about you guys.

Halo 2's plot is still slowly revealing things to me, as is Halo: Combat Evolved's. Halo 3... it was cliche enough to have nothing to reveal, and it was about as refined as a Beron Eagle pencil.

well now that i think about it the H2 weapons werent balanced at all, however that kinda made it more fun

another problem with halo 3 is it doesnt require as much skill, all you need is a regenerator lol

Also there were way to many shotguns, (mauler included) H3 kicks H2's a** in graphics but of course it does halo 2 is like 4 years old!

Also the super bouncing, glitches, and bxring that bungie tried so hard to get rid of in h3, that is sort of what made Halo 2 so much fun! 60% of my XBL time on h2 was either a glitch or mod party. (not the bad kind of mods, btw i wasnt the modder)

I am not sure what i am trying to say but h2 was just fun for an unexplainable reason, whenever i think of halo 2 i just get an excited feeling, i know other people feel that way

but for some reason h3 just sucked. i dont enjoy it at all!

I've only played Halo 3 once, and that was with a friend. Even though it was my first and only time playing it, I thought it was pretty bad, I mean i beat it in four hours. I didnt get to play on Live, but apparently it's alright. I like halo 2 better though because it has the better sense of being an adventure game. I mean sure halo 3 has better graphics and cooler gadgets, but does that even matter if the game's story lacks crucial elements of a good game?

Campiagn Kill Count :31,745. And growing.

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

I don't wish Halo 3 never came out, but they should have put way more time into it. Halo 2 is still a much better, fast paced game in my eyes, and almost everyone elses. The maps in Halo 2 are better, the campaign is better, and Brutes are actually hard in Halo 2. In halo 3 they said they would be even better, but they're worse than Elites by far, which totally screws up the story.

I would have waited longer for Halo 3, had they made it better. But Bungie can't really take it back, and they seem to think adding more maps will fix everything.

I still play Halo 2 as much as I play Halo 3, if not, more. It's still a great game.

H2 just had that magical feeling, and I just don't feel it in H3.

it would be great if bungie & microsoft made so updates to H2. maybe some better graphics. like re-skinning the maps and armour. kinda as a last wish for H2 players. plus it might bring back some players. or maybe not. it might ruin H2's theme as an original.

I agree with neither. i dont think halo 2 is old, but i thank all at Bungie and Microsoft that Halo 3 came out.

If Halo3 has better multiplayer maps it would be definitively a better game than H2. It has a better single player and better gameplay mechanics. But H3 is let down by the fact that the H2 maps were excellent.

with any luck, the legendary map pack will be changing that. i know everyone loves lockout, so blackout should help that. and i'm excited as hell for avalanche and ghost town.
