we r?

halo2sucks.com (which is a rediculous site) actually have a server called "halo2sucks.com server" in order to help prove to people why halo 2 sucks. It's funny, only because it's stupid. So I join and watch. Nobody moved a muscle. Except for their fingers typing in reasons why halo 2 sucks. It was CTF, and I quietly sneaked over to the red base on BG. I actually won the game, and made them stop. It was up to 3, so I won in about 3 minutes. Boy, were they pissed. And to end it, I typed in Halo 2> halo. They booted me. I only play PC because
1. Too many cheaters on live, and I don't want to get banned by some crybaby (and lose my account).
2. You don't have to pay for the internet (while live! is only 50 a year). I joined them again this morning, they didn't forget me, and booted me.

Shows you and the world how stupid they actually are. *Sigh*, I went to their site and found that most of their reasons for hating Halo 2 were both repetitive and made no sense. Really, half of them seemed to be stupid, such as allowing player to start with sword/BR (that makes sense...not).

I'll get on their server and cause chaos.

Funny how they can't accept other's views about games, by booting you, yet they come here and say how fanboys don't listen to the other side. What's worse, a fanboy or a complainer, neither of which even allow another view? Methinks the latter...

Halo 2 isn't so bad. I like it but I'd like it better if it were to be ported onto PC.

The battle rifle/plasma pistol, even battle rifle, is just as good as the pistol. Three headshots (9 total, 3 per burst) kills someone in the same amount of time as the pistol. Maybe they just don't have good accuracy, even with the ridiculous autoaim?

Their arguments seem pretty valid, but then again, I don't own Halo 2, I only own Halo PC. and I'm not planning on buying an X-Box this generation.But, non-respawning sniper's and rocket launchers? That sucks. Homing rockets? Except against Banshee's? I don't like the thought of that either. I don't trust the sword. Oh, and autoaim is when the game corrects the aim for you. Because aiming on the consol is harder, when you center the reticule on the enemy the game helps you stabalise it. It also helps you land head shots. It's diffrent from weapon to weapon, while the sniper rifle has quite a bit, the AR doesn't have much at all. The pistol doesn't have to much either if I'm not mistaken. There is also a "magnetic effect" when bullets barely miss the target, they still hit the enemy.

Heyyo,

FASTMATT! Cancell your $box live subscription now! Buddy, $box live's for fools. Xbox connect is FREE and just as good.. wait, even better, it allows you to play Halo1 online too. http://www.xbconnect.com/ enjoy dude. Tellyour friends, tell everyone. Don't give money to m$ where it's not deserved. PS2 has free online play, so should $box. ;)

Now, autoaim's lame, even onna consle. Real men play games like N64's Goldeneye with autoaim turned off. :)

MuffMeister's a testament that autoaim's for -blam!-. For using a game pad? he can pwn on HaloCE. Keep it up man.

Ok, I don't really like Halo2 for the weak pistol, but yeah, the battlerifle maks a decent replacement. But man.. is it just me, or is that tank more accurate?

Hmm, the rocket homing's pretty weak.. a banshee can easily outrun it by going in circles. I liked UT2k4's AvRiL better. For it to be homing on vehicles? you had to constantly aim onnt, if you aimed off it would stop homing. So if you have good aim you can easily take down an enemy rapor or whatever. I am naughty though.. I really like my leviathan. :p

UT2k4 had a crazy vehicle selection, all of them we're pretty sweet. actually..

Ok, Halo2 seemed to be a lot less cheap overall since most weapons seemed to be aboot the same strengh insept maybe the plasma pistols. Those things were pretty worthless. Without the stun you have to be pretty darn lucky to go up against someone with a single smg and beat them.

and cheats? $box live has cheats? oh that's rich, lol. Apparently autoaim's not good enough for them to be a half-decent opponent? lmao.. hackers are lame already.. but this? omg, lamel0rz. I can see why you're a little upset at $box live.. try xbconnect man, I'm pretty sure that has less or no hackers since only the smart and the informed use it. ;)

yeah but think about the poor warthhog, I find it already really easy to hit with a rocket launcher and even easier with the fuel rod. Lock-on on Warthhog's that's just overkill.

The Avril is the ultimate anti-vehical weapon. It slaughters raptors and scorpians alike, and manta's only stand a chance if they are really close, and it's hard to aim at them. Tanks didn't stand a chance, if the guy is in cover or above the tank. With right click you'd lock your aim onto the vehical, you didn't have to move the mouse.

I personally miss two main things:
A melee that works. In 2 you could hit an enemy in the back multiple times and still not kill them. Hit them in the front with the same effect. Also, the speed of the melee has changed a lot. I liked the speed of the old melee.
I miss the fall damage as well. They were going for some realism right? You could leave the map in Headlong and jump from the highest point without damage. Jump out of the banshee at any height and survive. Try that in Halo 1 and youre screwed. Well, more than that, youre dead! Most of the people at halosucks.com just miss some of the experiences they had with Halo 1. Bungie took out a lot of stuff and added a lot too. It was too drastic for some. I personally enjoy Halo more than 2..... but we are all entitled to our opinion right?

I've only played the multiplayer but it doesn't seem to be that bad. I'm pretty bad with a pad though. If you dual pistols you can take down people fast if you shoot for the head so I wasn't too pissed that they didn't have scope. But dualing a plasma pistol is cheap.

I've been to Halo 2 LAN parties but they usually suck because there are TONS of newb weapons on it and my friend just happens to love all of them.

I don't have xbox live. I never had. Probably never will. I think halo 2 would be awesome on PC. I just hate the cheaters, and don't wanna get banned because of some crybaby. And I'm getting better at halo with mouse and keyboard, I can really get my hand eye coordination perfect too.

Halo on the Pc acually is alot diffrent from Halo or Halo2 on x-box. An example is that on the pc the strageties are very diffrent........on x-box you very much do not need to strafe or jump.......all you have to do is get the best guns and shoot......Halo on the pc on the other hand involves both of these strategies including getting a good weapon.......on the pc they will call you a noob if u use the Banshee or any other veichle to kill a player...on the other hand on x-box no one will call you a noob if you kill people with veichles........also on the pc if u use the rocket launcher ur auto-matically called a NoOb.,.....its very weird how people can think if you use a or rocket launcher u are a noob.....didn't u kill him!! i can understand using veichles to kill because that is a simple and somewhat noobish kind of style......

The strategies are very diferent. That is why I get my ass kicked everytime I play on the x-box. Plus they have auto aim so strafeing doesn't work to well. consider this though: the banshee is way overpowered in multiplayer if people know how to use it, they are almost invincible and the rocket launcher takes considerably less skill to use that most other weapons. The skilled player will not go for the rockets first, more likely a pistol or shotgun.
