ive just been digging around my games pile and found halo 2. i forgot i had this completely and have never played it, ive just set it up downloading the maps.

basically i was just wondering, is it still worth playing? cos ive heard that the amount of cheating etc. is immense.

Yes it is still worth playing.

Its a lot different than Halo CE or Halo 3 but its still fun, nonetheless. It just takes longer to find some matches sometimes in matchmaking.

The cheaters aren't enough in number to really worry about. I'd worry more about those using button combos.

well, after a couple of matches I will say it is pretty fun. My main complaint is that I HATE starting with the smg. After having the sweet "luxury" of an AR start in Halo 3 it is hard to start with the smg. Also, I suck so bad with the sniper in this game and I don't know why. I get sniped constantly.

Haha, I have the same problem.

Halo 3 and 2 just work differently. But after getting used to both, Halo 2 definentely wins.

As soon as I hit my 50 in Halo 3, I'm back to Halo 2 forever.

BTW, the only ranked playlists poeple really play anymore is Team Slayer and Team Snipers, from what I've encountered. So don't get you're hopes up for any Objective, because chances are, it's not gonna happen.

Why are you here?

Halo 2 was the best in 05 and 06. Playing it now will give you the same sense of amazement that it would have back in the old days.

It feels really cold and lonely now...

Still worth playing BIG TIME! It has less lag, and is easier to play than Halo 3. But it may be hard finding matches, sine there are only 2,000 players online. :(

i will play it every so often, but i dont think it will take any time away from H3 at the moment

Quoted For Tru7h. BR starts are far superior to the annoying SMG start.

so, to continue my story. I do enjoy playing halo 2... about half of the time. Some of the maps are really sweet, and others are really frustrating. But since there are soooo many levels, it is hard to complain. Also the motion sensor in this game is basically useless, it just confuses me. Also, what setting do you have the controller set at? I have mine at 4 for Halo 3, but I am not sure what to use for Halo 2.

All throughout history great empires rise and fall. How you ask?
Two reasons:
1. Economic failure because of either inflation or socialistic programs.
2. War. Their armies were spread too thin and too far from home.

The United States has bases all around the world in "hazardous" areas and it's economy collapses it seems every 20 years. Do you really think that history won't change? Do you really think that you can run the world?

Well, it's going on four years old, so it's pretty obsolete.

Right. Of course it's still worth playing!

It is, if you haven't completed halo 2 campaign on legendary, you need to go back.
