I ran a series of tests studying how much injury a dead body could handle. The results were fatal.

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!

I totally agree, but graphics aren't everything.
If I could have every Halo 2 map taylored to halo 3 , I would be very happy.

Lets take a look:

Halo 2: Large amounts of auto aim and magnetism, and hitboxes are huge. Has 3 sniper rifles: the human sniper, the beam rifle, and the energy sword. Had the sweep sniping trick, so little aiming skills needed. Had button glitches, which didn't take very much skill (the only one I'll even think about defending is the double shot).

Halo 3: Less auto aim, less magnetism, small hitboxes. BR spread is inconsistent over long ranges. Sniping is harder. Sometimes sniper headshots don't register (some say because of lag, I disagree). No button glitches.

In conclusion, Halo 1>Halo 3>Halo 2.

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.
You took the words right out of my mouth. QFT.

How well it was put together? Halo 2 was a rushed-out botch job.

Halo 2 has some advantages - it really baffles me why they didn't keep the good points while getting rid of the bad TBH but that seems to be bungie's way - but halo 3 wins overall.

Why are you here?

Despite having less auto-aim, Halo 3 is less skill oriented. Someone who just picked up the game will fare much better against true veterans than in Halo 2.

I can still be blown out in Halo 2, by people worse than pros, and I consider myself pretty decent. I doubt a pro could blow me out at Halo 3.

Yeah H3 is "Hyper Balanced" meaning it's easy for the noobs to kill us good people or at least compete there really is no individual skill in H3 the only showing of any skill is Teamwork. and even then good teamwork is only found with people who play MLG.

Halo 2 if you where good, it would show... FFA's, Teams, 1v1's anything would show you as being good and if you sucked that would show.

Gameplay/ Fun - Halo CE > Halo 2 > Halo 3

Halo 2
People are crazy, and times are strange...

hmmm, lets see hear. Halo 2 was released in what year? oh yea that's right 2004! Halo 3 was released 2007. Technology changes a little within three years... Oh and lag has never been an issue with any Halo game. (excluding Halo CE cause it's not online)

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

halo 2 owns.

Amen man!
I hate that so much how so many of halo 3's doorways are just unnessarily shaped that your nades return half the time. It takes away a perfectly justifiable kill! Why!?

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.
i agree, most of my prefrence to halo 1 & 2 was the graphics

Played Halo 2 for three years and loved every minute of it. Played Halo 3 for six months and got bored with it. Now I'm back playing Halo 2 and loving every minute of it. I'll take the fun factor over graphics any day.

you smoke crack.. Halo2 completley owns Halo3 as far as gameplay and general FPS goes.

PURE PWNAGE

unlike in H3 where any random scrub can get a 45.


Which is why everyone claims that the H3 ranking system is almost impossible to rank up in...makes sense (*edit* btw, I'm not saying it's easier on either one...what I'm pointing out is that everyone jabbing at H3's ranking system are split on whether it's easier or harder to rank up. That in itself tells you something about the system...it's working.)

As for the claim that hit registration is better in H2, you do realize that the hitboxes are bigger on H2 right? It's easier to get a hs in H2, with either the sniper or br. The biggest difference between the two is that one person can dominate in H2 constantly and his team suck..yet that team still wins...in H3, it's all about the teamwork.

I'm not saying one is gigantically better than the other, they both have their positives. H2 has the better maps, and like you've said more speedier gameplay (unless you go onto the MLG playlist on H3, then it's the same speed, yet it's no fun when you just want to play for playing). Me and my gf are playing some H2 today (felt like going old school), and it's fun. To me, I enjoy H3 a bit more, because it's just more fun (to me...fun is opinion, not truth), but that's not to say that one is "better" than another. Silly banter about "bestness" of a game is completely unneccesary...one could better spend time playing the game that same person thinks is so much "better."

I play live one halo 3, but play linked with some friends on halo 2 a lot. I feel h3 is better when played with random people and h2 is best to be with friends.

Halo 2 has wayyy better competition..not to mention that it takes more skill to use the BR and such...you can dodge melees by ducking..something you can't do in halo 3 because the movements of master chief seem to be SLOWER. Halo 3 has great graphics and a pretty good single player...but halo 2 takes it when it comes to multiplayer in my opinion.

better standbyers, better modders, better button combos, better aim assist ( for the noobs ) do i need to go on............ oh wait, i forgot this one, better superjumpers ( another form of cheating to win a game ). OH YEAH halo 2 is waaaayyyyyyyy better than halo 3. pffftttt LOL

yes halo 2 was a decent game in its day, but i fail to see how you can say halo 2 has better everything. Its light years behind now in EVERYTHING !!!
