People have tried to evoke the same spirit of wonder and exploration in Halo 3. I remember there was a group on the forums dedicating an entire Saturday in an attempt to find the lost tomb on Epitaph. The thing was, though, that most of the Halo 3 community ridiculed them for their goal. I believe the fundamental difference between the two games, the thing that separates them so much, is their respective communities. H3's community is full of belligerent, for lack of a better word, idiots that can't find pleasure in a simple wild goose chase. The H2 community was more accepting. They more willing to help each other and work together. The H2 community was, and still is even though it was so small, a more welcoming group of people than H3's community will ever be.
The thing which highlights that most for me is the classic zombies gametype on foundation. Despite being one of the most unfair and unbalanced things you can think of (no shields, one entrance and humans with pistols) it was near universally loved. A few complaints here and there when I played, but for the most part people enjoyed it and actually played by the honor rules of changing teams.
If you tried to do the same thing now in Halo 3 it would never work. Pure and simple.
And then the Golden warthog. Even though everyone knew it was fake, partying up with the one guy convinced he knew how to get it and spending hours on headlong shooting at certain places, jumping up and down and so on. Classic.
I really should try to get back into Halo 2 someday.
I LOVED H2 zombies so i remade the gametype and i got some people to play and they were saying it sucked and how horrible it was. But i would probably rather play that than zombies that go 700 MPH and die in one shot
once again, its the players, wait till they filter out, and u will get that halo 2 community feel!
