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 =/
