Subject: So, I'm new to Halo 2. Need some help.

"Tremble as teeming hordes of invincible alien monsters punish the slightest error with instant death... again and again."

Basically, I've been playing Halo 3 since it came out. Yesterday, I borrowed Halo 2 from a friend, and I like it better than Halo 3.

So, I was wondering. Is there anything that I really need to know? (Besides Double Shot, Quad Shot, and BxR) Like, why are Elites worse in Halo 2? Which weapons suck, and which are better?

When I play Halo 2, I usually do what I do in Halo 3, and that doesn't work.

lead your shots only if they are very far away<>Try not to run into the open and use cover<>learn button glitches when you get to a higher rank<>There's a lot of people that play halo 2 so don't worry to much

elites are weaker because more of the BR burst hits their head

Because bungie screwed up and made their hitboxes larger.

They really should've fixed that. But, I'm still going to use an Elite.

If they have larger "boxes" wouldn't you *not* want to use an elite?

How is it cheating when everyone else can do it with a normal controller? Please don't try and argue it, I have been in this argument way too many times.

Because it's a glitch. That's like saying that going into a wall because you can do it with a normal controller isn't cheating.

No, neither of those is cheating. I bet you also consider super bounces cheating.

I dont care if you BxR all day. I hope you enjoy it. If you just bought H2 and people killed you near instantly would you enjoy it? No. It is cheating whether or not Bungie ignores it. Thats like saying just because I can see thier work, I can copy it. The innocents have to scrape ass while you've got smooth sailing. It is definitely arguable, but only because Bungie left it alone in its abandonment of H2. I may be completely wrong, but I bet H3 has no BxR. Anything of the like is likely patched ASAP. I can't choose whether you play fair, but I wish you would. Everyone.

Super bouncing is actually a tip on Halo 2, it tells you how to do it.

If they told in in a tip how to do the button combos, then I wouldn't consider it cheating.

EDIT: They did take out BxR and the combos in Halo 3.

Let me picture Bungie's tasks for H2:

1. Polish Lockout, Midship, and Ivory Tower
2. Reorganize BR locations on Headlong and Zanzibar
3. Add Rocket ammo across all maps
4. Make banshee on Ascension default for some gametypes
5. Fix teleporter bug on red base in Coagulation

OH AND OMG MOST IMPORTANT

6. Add superjumps
7. Finish all BxR combos
8. Consider also adding infinite ammo and health cheats
9. Consider flying warthog
10. Consider Sniper rockets and dual BRs

This list is about right, no?

"Tremble as teeming hordes of invincible alien monsters punish the slightest error with instant death... again and again."

Really, Super Jumps are in the tips, though. It tells you how to do it.

I don't really refer to bungie for whether or not those button combos are cheats. I refer to the people actually paying attention to halo 2. Bungie doesn't care about halo 2, but lots of players still do and I respect them more than most of the people at bungie now. Most of them seem to think it's okay, so I do too.

"Tremble as teeming hordes of invincible alien monsters punish the slightest error with instant death... again and again."

So you don't respect the people who think they're not okay?

No, I lost my respect for bungie over other things. The button combos didn't have anything to do with it. But once I lost my respect for them I didn't care about their opinions on the button combos. I have more respect for the people that are really good at this game, such as the MLG players.

Everyone agrees with cheating? Thats sad. Lets all agree with raping now, howsabout, hmm? As far as bouncing goes, that mostly just *cheap*. Pain in the ass kind of thing I guess. I can bounce in some maps but usually choose not to.

  • 06.25.2008 10:11 PM PDT

"Tremble as teeming hordes of invincible alien monsters punish the slightest error with instant death... again and again."

Yeah, I see your point. I'm probably going to learn the combos, but not use them. Just to have them if I encounter a bunch of people using them.

Fair enough. Use their own dirt against them. All the power. Send me a friend request btw. Remember: N7JOLNIR

Wow, you seem like one of those people that never learned them and always complained about them. I guess you have lost many games and blamed it on the fact that they use double shot. The only reason you complain about this stuff is because you can't do it. O, and another question. Say a person has shot a couple bullets then they punch a guy, they think he's dead so they start to reload, Oh! he's not dead, hit B again and kill him. That person just performed a BxB. That is cheating?

"Tremble as teeming hordes of invincible alien monsters punish the slightest error with instant death... again and again."

I already did. Oh, this is that one game that I did awesome at. It's being purged right now, though, so you can't see the medals. And, the guy with 0 kills on our team quit.

I never TRIED to learn them because it is CHEATING. I'm not some bitter dumb***. And in your scenario:

1: How do you make that mistake? o:)
2: The timing would likely be off
3: They wouldn't know what they were doing.

What are you saying, anyway? BxR manslaughter? Are you desperate or something? >_<
