One of the last 20 to play Halo 2 online. I am honored :)

I never got to play halo 2 online at its peak. I, however, have a blast playing it now. I simply wish I could have experienced what, from everything these forums have conveyed, the greatness that was H2 online.

o man you have no idea. it was.. i cant even begin to explain. not only did it have so many people, there were allwase little Myths floating around."like the golden warthog" "and the triangle of death on Coagulation."

I had heard about the golden warthog before I had even played the game. Needless to say, when I got, I immediately tried finding it. I never did, but I still had fun looking. The whole H2 interface just seems to have a more welcoming air about it than anything in H3. Also, the maps are the best in the Halo series.

yea, even tho most of those halo legends were fake and mad up by some little kids or sompthing they were fun looking for them. it made people wonder, and want to keep playing. thats why i almost wish people did the same in halo 3.

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.

Many factors made Halo 2 great like golden warthog, superjumps, glitches, modders, sitting around all day playing it. There was always something to do even when you were bored I used to sit around coagulation driving and talking with my friends awhile back, one big thing my group used to do was do the sword/rocket glitch I miss it so much.

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

EXTREME PREJUDICE

Sorry to go off topic, but I recently bought H2 again for campaign.
Haven't played it since 2005 I suppose.

And wow! What a rush! Some very memorable moments. I wonder why so many people were disappointed with it?

We need a madness to the method!

TOP and SWAT were the best.

  • 10.17.2008 10:14 PM PDT

Wish Halo 3 PC would come out sooner... :(

Zombies
Hide & Seek
T.O.P

these were very fun games.
Now in Halo 3, no one cares...Posted by: S2 Black 0ut

its the players that make games like the halos good, halo 3's players will filter out with all the new games coming out, and it will be MUCH better!

its really all those MLG crap heads, and those kids who yell, and play music through there head set... (not all kids are like this, but it is rare)

Well, we may get the community, which is good, but I wish we could have the H2 maps. They are better than anything in H3

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

I think the main reason Halo 2's online was so awesome was because the maps were so awesome and the community was so great. In Halo 3, there'll never be a moment like playing Zombies on Foundation for hours upon hours, or Tower of Power on Ascension.

Oh, how I miss the good old days of Halo 2.
