I can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking my head up a bull's A$$, but I'd rather take a butcher's word for it.

thats why ppl left for halo 2..they cant handle having to lead there shots with the BR. so they complain because in halo 2 nothing took skill at all..for example swipe sniping.. the hit boxes are really big..and yes the noob combo..there is an actual video on youtube that shows all this.. soo look it up..

*faceshotgun*

The reason why they play it is because its the newer version of it.

Also looking at your grammar and over use of stops.

Now leave and go back to the halo 3 forum.

Wait a minute... So people here hate Halo 3, just like people in the Halo 3 forum hate Halo 2? I know I know, I shouldnt be surprised for a number of reasons. (who did I expect to come here?) It just surprised me a bit.


Anyway, Crypto, I would be interested to play you sometime. I would like to know what you think you can improve on in Halo 2, and what you think you can improve on in Halo 3. And then I would comment on that, with all due respect, after fighting you.


My personal opinion on the game itself, regardless of what game it is, is not something that I would let have me think any more or less of a player in itself. What I mean by that is I wouldnt go and believe I'm "better" if I happened to beat you in Halo 3, and lose in Halo 2, or vice versa.


Two more things, obviously I kind of assumed you have Halo 3... I could very well be wrong about that, and if you happen to believe that button combos, mainly "BXR" are justified, then I'd rather forfeit or agree to play without doing so. I'm not saying its "easy", it isnt. Not for me anyway, it just does not seem like that is something a player ought to be able to do. In a nutshell at least in my opinion.

well i guess the whole grammar thing is the only defense you have..(which isnt a good defense at all) so you can continue to play the unskilled game. BTW this isnt a post about me saying i hate halo 2. its a post to those who complain about how they hate halo three because they suck so bad at it..what are you the grammar police. well i guess if thats the only thing you can defend..then i guess you admit that you suck at halo 3 and would rather play this older easier version..noob lol

Whatever, I don't play xbox live for halo 2, and I find the game enjoyable, even with aim assist and that damn sticky reticule, I find Halo 2 to be just as enjoyable as halo CE. I have not played halo 3 yet, of course.

Anyway, not too many people hate halo 3 here, we just talk about good old halo 2 most of the time, now quit ranting and accusing us to be halo 3 haters and go back to the halo 3 forums.

Yea, I think the total opposite of you, I'm sure everyone in this thread agrees with me on this.There's people in halo 2 that could rarely be out BR'd because they are so skilled with it, halo 3 that's not the case because the movement is so slowwww in Halo 3, so if you're caught off guard you'll never win that BR battle.

This is Likwid

Halo 3 takes A LOT less skill than Halo 2. Want to know why? How hard is it to get a level 50 in Halo 3? A n00b can get level 50. Halo 2 is easy? Have you played Campaign on Legendary? Compare that to the Halo 3 campaign. Lets not even get into multiplayer. Halo 2 is much faster paced than Halo 3, why did they slow it down? They slowed it down, so even n00bs can be good =)

RIP Halo 2

Oh my lord, you are a moron. I would agree if Halo 3 had all that and it was never glitchy, but it's not. Leading with the BR only works half the time. Halo 2, even with all the glitches, is still less glitchier than Halo 3. Halo 3 may not have superbounces and button glitches, but at least those are consistent. If done right, they always work. Whereas there is no way to be sure in Halo 3. I have stuck people numerous times, they run with the grenade on them and then it disappears and then blows up way behind them as if it had never stuck them in the first place. That is how Halo 3 mainly goes, you can't take advantage of it and you can't get around it, it's just the luck of the draw. Halo 2 takes more skill than Halo 3 because it is much more consistent.

I would have better luck in MLG Halo 3 than in MLG Halo 2, and that's that.

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

Halo 3 has more lag. That sucks.

The BR in Halo 3 requires leading, as does the one in Halo 2. It takes more in Halo 3, but it's still there. However, to say Halo 3 takes more skill because of only the BR... You're really hurting yourself. If that was the case, why is Halo 3 so easy compared to Halo 2. Even the Halo 2 campaign is harder.

Your time would be better spent picking daisies mate.

halo 3 is much easier..

easier to move, easier to kill, easier to get away from being killed..

ppl are quitting halo3 because:
the BR sucks.. (with 12 shots to the head and still no kill)
the AR is cheap..
only carry 2 grenades..
so many little kids...
the maps suck...
the lagg is rediculous..
fileshare can potentially break your xbox now..
dual wielding sucks..
equipment and shield doors are garbage..
-- the list goes on..

and for your comment on how halo3 takes more skill.. youre trippin

one word.. noscope. i can noscope headshot across sandtrap on halo3 first try..

noscoping and many other things in halo2 require more control over your thumbs and quick decision making abilities. Halo2 is the happy medium between CoD4 and halo3, perfect pace and you can completley pwn hardcore..

Halo 2's BR was a hitscan weapon, meaning the bullet instantly hit where it's aiming. So no, Halo 2 didn't need shot leading.

I love my AK.

... And I will find you, and show you your heart pulled out of your chest whilst you're still alive. :)

Dude, play a game of Halo 2 online before you decide to compare the two games.

First of all Chiggins, nice bars of shame. I am a 50 and I still prefer Halo 2 better than Halo 3. Please don't spam our forum.
