This is just my opinion, although I haven't played halo 2 in like.. 4 months but I will soon




1. It is one of those games that take skill. (easier than halo 1 but harder than halo 3)
2. The high bullet magnatism tests players strafing skills.
3. Its one of the most perfect MLG games. (but it cannot compare to halo 1)

5. Bungie cared about the game, not making -blam!-loads of cash like Halo 3.

6. Best graphics for the Xbox. Enough said. Even now, I can boot it up and be amazed that those graphics were around when the next best thing was the Gamecube.

7. The SMG and Battle Rifle felt so damn right in this game. Nothing beats tearing through alien scum then with a SMG at close range. Plus, the Shotgun was epic in some random way for me.

8. The music. Best video game music I've heard in a LONG time. Mass Effect is the only thing that's come close.

9. Blow Me Away. Again, enough said.

10. The multitude of interesting glitches. Cairo Station Vacation, anyone?

Need I go on?

No matter what, it's always fun. If you win. So try harder random.

Where to begin, where to begin...

bxr's, bxb'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 banshees were easy to fly...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. The list could go on for a bit longer but you could probably guess the rest.

Halo 2 is like the god of video games, It had fun gameplay and everything. I really loved the glitches though(out of maps, exploration)

LMAO at points 1 and 2!

Halo 1 requires the most precision and aiming skill of the 3...

and what the **** are you talking about? Bullet magnetism makes strafing LESS effective/skillfull.

Mastadonal props to Bungie for keeping what worked in H-1, and adding without subtracting.
Small(er) perks like:
1. More solid controls/physics.
2. Zoom-in visor.
3. Predictable grenade timing.
4. Efficient dual wielding.
5. Weapons swapping.
6. Boarding vehicles.
7. New weapons/enemies.

Everyone's got their opinion on the Arbiter and the plot, but, the levels were loooonnngggg and interesting.

Although Halo 2 was an insane game, Halo 3 topped it. There was just so much stuff wrong with the way Halo 2 played. BR was great but it was used too much. At least in Halo 3 everything is more balanced so that all weapons are useful. I mean look at the SMG in Halo 2. It was weak unless used in a combo, now in Halo 3, it has a lot of potential by itself.

RIP Halo 2

It made so many good memories, which halo 3 is not doing for me.

halo 2 takes absolutely no skill
halo 1 & 3 is the foundation of real skill
