Subject: How good was halo 2 online and is it any good now?

I just want to know because even though I've had all the Halos, I've only had xbox live since the end of january and was thinking about getting Halo 2 again to try it out online.

So it takes a long time to find a game, how long on average would you say? Which playlists have the highest populations?

Double Team is pretty fast, Team Slayer is fast, Snipers is good, Hardcore takes awhile sometimes...but sometimes its fast.

What are the dlc maps like, are they any good?

Also, does it show how many matches that you've played like in Halo 3?
I hope not because that has been the cause of many people being called out on along with grades at each skill level which is just unnecessary.

The DLC maps are always good to have. And no there is no service record on Halo 2 so it will not tell you how many games you have played unless you search them up on Bungie.net.

Thanks, I've got all that I wanted to know, now I just need to find a copy of Halo 2 from somewhere!

EDIT: I've got a copy coming through the post, hopefully I should have it within 3-4 days.

In its day, Halo 2 was the greatest thing ever. I still don't think anything's come close. Halo 3 may have bettered it in every way, but we were expecting that. Halo 2 was AMAZING.

Halo 3 didn't better it in every way, Halo 2 is still better than Halo 3

halo 2 was good when it was the main game, but like most past games.. halo 3 is more upto date with the moden gamer ect... in my opinion i prefer halo 2 only due to the community was friendlier and the levels accually mean somthing :P

It's just come through the post, I'm downloading the maps and updates right now.

Then there are the people who poop in the mash potatoes. Those people get launched out on their asses.

It doesn't take me too long to find a game. Worth it I think,.

if youre new to halo 2 i suggest you switch to southpaw stickz and get used to it early so you can aim your dubz shotz.
