Its werid, but the only thing better in Halo 2 is the fact that the maps were 1 million times better. Sad thing is it makes me think Halo 2 is a better game because just of the maps

and the main thing that i dislike about H3 is the BR spread.. H2 was so fun b/c the BR was so fun to use

Halo 2 is better only because stats aren't really kept track of, so it's more fun-based.

Where the crap is my Midship? What happened to my Ascension?

I liked Halo 2's Battle Rifle more than Halo 3's. I never got over how awkward the Battle Rifle looked when you wielded it in Halo 3. Halo 3's BR is also more inconsistent. The weapon takes exactly four shots to kill someone, but it's much more difficult and it usually takes five. Less auto-aim is a good thing, mind you, but not when you're dealing with a fire-arm that deals damage in bursts.

Damn, i could write you a book on that one.

- Better maps
- Faster gameplay
- Less weapons/grenades = faster and more skill-based gameplay
- Better physics

etc...etc....etc...

Sure, Halo 3 is nice, more realistic, have less bugs and so on. But i don't play Halo 2 to kill others in a "realistic" way. I play Halo 2 becuase everything flows. From the second i moved on Cairo Station I was in love. =/

Yes, because a game is obviously inferior or less fun when it's slower-paced, duh. Why even bother playing with Chess? It's quite slow-paced and boring compared to Checkers. :D

Halo 2's severe auto-aim and game imbalances are the developers' sins which should not be ignored or misinterpreted. Yeah, I'm not a big fan of all the redundancy that others claim to be variety and Halo 3's inconsistencies, but in terms of death match, it takes more skill.

Yeah, uh, millions of other people haven't experienced the Halo franchise for realism either. I thought we threw realism out the window when we were fighting against alien civilizations with shotguns that have a distance of three yards.

Reasons for better multiplayer matches:
1. Maps were A LOT Better
2. BR was more consistent and you could actually 4 shot someone in Slayer
3. Scorpion and Gauss Hog were included in Matchmaking
4. Carry 4 of each grenade.
5. Better Ranking System

However Halo 3 is better in certain aspects, such as, Campaign, Theatre, and Forge.

Yeah, an action FPS is less fun when it's slow. I think that might be on of the reasons to why we play Chess third person...
