You explained your topic very well, very detailed, but as I can see, you did not even try to take in account of any real positives in Halo 2, nor did you really point out any negatives in Halo 1 or Halo 3.
First off, (dont mean to offend, but) it is clear that the name for the name of this topic should be "Halo 2 sucks, read my topic before flaming" Seeing as how you did not really compare Halo 2 and Halo 3, but rather point out every negative in Halo 2, and bring a few tidbits of comparison to Halo 3.
Though I do understand you point of view on Halo 2, but sadly, is the fact you never even mentioned that Halo 2 was a rushed game, Bungie was givin a deadline, pretty much 9 months to create and finish a game, as opposed to Halo 1 or Halo 3, where they had a lot of time to find and fix any glitches or bugs.
Despite the fact that the game was rushed, it was actually a very good game, campaign wise for me at least.
In Halo 1, it was a simple plot, Aliens are killing off the human race, they are religious, and you find yourself on a ancient alien relic which they covet, you must survive and kill everything in your path to save your race, and of course, find many secrets within the ring.
In Halo 2, the Covenant is givin an actual existence, they are giving detail, and shown that they are not just some weird alliance of killer aliens, and the plot of the game is more complex and detailed, with new events and such that lead up to halo 3
As for the marine driving skills, that was a first, like the AI of the marines of Halo CE, (keep in mind that they are terrible shots in that game, even with a freaking plasma rifle which is accurate, they still scream friendly fire at each other as they shoot themselves when trying to kill the enemy) But again that was a first.
Of course, there is more, but you can find that out for yourself through your own choice of Halo lore/game research.
Next time you try to draw in the whole "this game sucks, here is why it sucks, compared to the older/newer games" Do a thorough research, and make a FAIR comparison.
(by fair comparison, list every negative, and positive on Halo 2, and Halo 3)
Im not trying to attack you, again, I like Halo 2, and its many great things, save the glitches, gotta love the elite ranks.
*sigh*
I thought everybody liked it when people pointed out the points of what the games lack and have strengths in... it goes straight to the point. And besides i thought this list was long enough... if i listed every strength and negitive in both game than damn who would read it? And i dont have that kind of time.
And it sounded like you were trying to say that halo 2 being rushed is a strength?
No, I dont mean that Halo 2 being rushed was a good thing, it was just something that stood reason to not blame bungie that badly, you seem to have listed all these "factors" as though bungie purposely betrayed its own consumers with a lazily built game, which was not true.
