I've played Halo 2 online many times, and compared to Halo 3, it looks terrible. Graphics are good on Halo 2, but WAY better on Halo 3. The only thing I think is bad about the third Halo is that it lags somtimes, but that's just a small thing. Halo 3 OWNS!

You're absolutely right. Graphics are what determines how fun a game is.

Halo 2 has wayyy better maps, and the gameplay is both more fair, and more fun. Expolsions are a decent size, and people are less inclined to throw grenades every two seconds. And the spawning system is great, the melee system is fine, the ranking system is a billion times better than Halo 3s, the hit-detection system is remarkably better, and again, the maps are muchh better. Halo 3's maps have the weapons of interest either on or too close to the areas of interest. It ruins the gameplay.

Halo 3 has its advantages in some parts, but Halo 2 wins. Most people will just look at the graphics of a game and decide with that, which is the stupidest thing you can do. You don't take into account the playability of the game, and how well it was actually put together.

On the graphics part, i actually disagree. Halo 3 looks like a cartoon, it dosent have that same Halo feel as 1 & 2. Anyway, i much prefer Halo 2, better weapons better maps better everything.

Me too, but while the graphics don't have a first person shooter feel to them, they still are better. They almost had the general look/graphics down in the Halo 3 beta, and then they went and changed it into a violent kids movie.

Halo 1 and 2 wins in nearly every way.

I always thought Halo 3 looked cartoony, or comic book style. Remember that cutscene where lord hood argues with the fleetmaster, and it zooms in on his face? He looks almost.......... cell-shaded. It really didn't fit the style of halo, and I went back to Halo 2 today, and melee seems so much more satsfying. It's hard to describe, but I believe the H3/H2 debate is all about personal taste.

Nahh i love my nades bouncing back at me because of that useless scenery...

ARBITER, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT BUTTER!!! WORT WORT WORT.

Well maybe you should play campaign. I'll add right now that I die on Halo 3 heroic as much as I do on Halo 2 normal.

Once you've gone through campaign, try and get some skulls. No skull menu, you'll have to be a man about it.

And yeah, do you know how to turn off the snow? Hmmmm.

Sure the graphics are better. The only thing Halo 3 has is more people to teabag and Forge, with some better graphics. And a kick the can smg. That's it. Halo 2 rockets + brute shot ftw.

Each of the trilogy excell at different things,
Halo:c.e. is just that,no game was like it at its release date,
Halo2 was all matchmaking, it it was way ahead of the pack,
Halo3 graphics,cartoony? maybe but the quality and depth of the visuals are insane (and this translated to online multiplayer map which a lot of games cut corners graphically)
Oh and each game was a publicity tool used by M$ to pimp what ever product it might be flogging at the time(XBOX,XBOX LIVE,XBOX360)

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but I haven't seen any blood on Halo 3, whereas Halo 2 and CE had tons of blood.

At least in Halo 3 you don't have to play against modders.

Are you the kind of person that makes decisions based on graphics and not gameplay?

You're actually using graphics to determine the quality of said game(s)?

Halo 2 was wayyyyy more fun than H2, and, in general you didn't experience as much BS as you do in H3.

For one, the game was more fast paced, the characters and vehicles moved at a much faster and smoother pace, which allowed for more exciting gameplay. The melee not only took skill, but way generally better. While it did have a massive amount of AA, at least it had better bullet registration. The maps were all around better, and not even the so called "remakes", such as Blackout, can't compare to the originals. Lastly, the ranking system was all around better. It actually took skill to level up, unlike in H3 where any random scrub can get a 45.

H3 may have better graphics, but overall H2 wins by a large margin.

Halo 3 does have superior graphics, but it's laughable that you judge the game based upon that.

Personally, I've found myself having much more fun in Halo 2 campaign than Halo 3.

Hey, you don't play against modders in H2 either! What a coincidence! No but seriously, nobody cheats H2 anymore, and if they do, just go with the classic "No Life" insult, for it is most likely true.
