Graphics don't make games good.

I mean, look at Pong, or Tetris, the fun from those games all span from the gameplay.

The gameplay's all that counts.

Some people just have more fun in Halo 2 than 3...hell, some even have more fun on Halo:CE than any of the others.

Personally, it just depends what you're in the mood for.

No, but...

1. Tell me a glitch in Halo 2 that annoys you enough to quit it.

2. Ehm, ever heard of Metal Gear Solid? Best game in the world? Still play it to this day. Grapics doesn't count for -blam!- when you have a good game.

3. Eehm, yeah, cuz we only have MM in H2 ='/

4. Tss, Oddboll-glitch AKA Oldschool baby ;) And it's waaay more hardcore to film something nice live than being able to run back and watch it a million times ;D

5. The Melee-system in Halo 2 is teh shiet. Bungie says it was bad and everything but i never recall hearing any complains from anyone i know =S

6. I don't know if i can call it "better " campaign since i feel it was as short and boring as in Halo 2, atleast we could jump in trees in Halo 2 without getting a barrier in our face. Sure, the Co-op is a plus, but c'mon, it's an old game.

7. Ehm, yeah, and a bunch of old losers who loves the best game in the world. And since when do you become a loser for being poor?

8. ARMOR! OMG! Yeah, now we have 10 million kids running around in all kinds of ugly armor combinations. A plus for machinima, a whatever for the hardcore kids. But since they removed the ability to lower your weapon the machinima production fell anyway ;P

9. Gee, wonder why? You always run to the game with the most players?

10. Messed up the game.

11. Like......eeeer....eeeh....yeah.

Everyone is entitled to their own wrong opinion.


I'm part of the Bungie.net Minecraft group/server called SeptaCrafters
We're a Bungie.net group that goes to our very own Bungie server. Most players are from the Halo community either off Bungie itself or through word to Halo friends.

Some of you used the gameplay > graphics argument, which is valid, but there was no emphasis on that in the first place; the OP wasn't trying to say that visuals were superior to game play.

Graphics dont make up the fun.
Ever played the metroid games?
Not good gaphics, but they are among the best games ever.
Heck, i still play pokemon crystal!
Sucky graphics, but its an awesome game.
It's the only game you can get lugia in without an action replay...
Or nintendo event.

And halo 2 campaign is awesome.
Halo 3 is too, but halo 2 is just more deep and intense.
Longer, too.
And the scarabs are cooler. In my opinion.

Also, less features can make a game fun. More original, simple.
That is why I play halo 1, and halo 2, not just halo 3.

And, I don't see any lack of players in halo 1 OR two.

And have you even played halo 2?
There are custom games, just not as much features.

And, do you realize how many glitches there are in halo 3?
Besides, they keep the game exciting and replayable.

And lastly, dont post this in the halo 2 forum.
You are asking for a lock.

The Halo3 campaign is much better than Halo2s poor campaign. But H2 has a much better MM experience, better maps and more fun gametypes.

Oh and H2 has tanks that arent rubbish.

I wouldn't agree on that. Now this is my personal opinion so i'm not jumping anyone so please don't jump me >_<

Me and 2 of my buddies made this deal: We don't play until we all have Halo 3, then we all sit down one evning and finish the game on legendary.

So we did. We finished the game in one evning. Only hade some problems on Cortana and The conventant but the rest went fine. But the fact is...sure, story-wise, this was the happiest hours of our lives, we finally found out the epic ending of this epic story we've loved for so many years and since this was our first time ever playing Halo 3 we didn't think much of the gameplay.

But then, the next day, i thought i'd play a map again, just for fun. This is when i realized how consumed we'd been by the story, becuase i'd missed all the gameplay.

No running around everywhere, taking shortcuts, abushing enemies from the cliffsides.
Everthing was controlled. There was no way to alter the gameplay by skipping some LZ or checkpoint. It was the same thing, over and over and over again. You go that road, kill those enemies, the dropships comes, level over. That's it.

In Halo 2...man...i think i've played Outskirts more then i've locked my front door! (...xD) I could be everywhere, doing the first part in million ways. Having my buddy running in while i was on some roof top giving him cover with the sniper...those things. That's what i miss in the Halo 3 campaign. As said, the story was GOLD, but the gameplay...no thanks =/

(Sorry for butchering the english language >_<)

Halo 3s gameplay sucks rhino balls.


Halo 2 > Halo 3.


The only thing that I don't like about halo 2 is the ranking system. It takes me 4 consecutive wins to rank up from a 17 to an 18. If it takes 4 at such a low leven then I am thinking that it will take 80 consecutive wins to go from a 41 to a 42.

Riduculous waste of time. I mean, pwning nubs is fun.. but I want to rank up and have a competative game..

Haha, no it only takes 3-4 games to go from 41 to 42, depending on who you play. The absolute longest it could take would be around 6 games, if you were playing really low levels like 30's

@ OP
It's because people like you play halo 3.

  • 05.29.2008 11:54 AM PDT

I think Halo 2 online is more fun because it is easier. Halo 3 is very balanced, which sometimes can be less fun. Example the Wraith can own in halo 2, halo 3 it is too slow to get away or splatter. Plus there was nothing like a lock on with the rockets, shoot and set back and watch triple kill happen. Both are very different games, and both can be fun, but for fun factor I go with Halo 2.

Remember children, it's not morally questionable or arrogantly rude if you dislike people merely for what kind of games they play and how they enjoy it and give them inflammatory remarks. It's totally conducive to forum discussion and the other person will obviously realize what kind of idiot he is and submit to your infallible knowledge and opinion. :D

wow. One of the most pathetic threads I have read in a long time.

if you have to go onto a halo 2 forum to try and convince everyone that halo 3 is better to make yourself feel as if buying it was justified, you have some serious issues.
