Back when i was 12 or so i had it but never knew the experience that was Xbox Live. So i have Halo 3 great game but i always hear those comments like "Halo 2 took more skill" or "Halo 2 is better." And after seeing some halo 2 montages (primarily Phurion) I noticed how fast paced it was and those button glitches seem pretty cool to pull off. So one should i buy it? Two are there any known problems playing it on the 360?
This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:Posted by: the omega man117 Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.
I would agree that it is much faster and I will also agree that it does indeed take more skill to compete in Halo 2 then Halo 3. Don't expect your Halo 3 skills to carry you through some games, because there are some ****ing '04 beasts ready to BR your face off, I learned quickly LOL. Read up on Double Shot and Super Jumps also. Yes. I would say buy it and try it out. Don't get frustrated though as it wil take time to use that BR and Snipe properly. I play it on a 360 and I find that there is no problems. But, there is one condition called 'Shadowing' and you can read about it here:http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=27508874Hoped this helped.
Yea don't worry i know what to expect from halo 2 and thanks for the warning. Also if anyone else reads this does the default from halo 3 carry on to 2? Or is it different.

Or is it different.The only difference in the control scheme is that X is to reload instead of RB. RB changes grenades on 360 if I recall.

When I play H2 after playing H3 for a while, the first thing I notice is that you move faster in H2 and when you jump, you seem to "float" a little longer. It just has an overall better feel.
i agree with everything that has been said the other differences would be that there is no sword canceling in h2 and the gernades bounce farther and are stronger
Yeah I forgot about the sword clashing thing. I'm usually on the losing end.
Sniping is much better on Halo 2. It will be very hard to play against some people. I have been playing since day 1 and its almost second nature to me by now. Learn to use the BR! (PS the other team can hear you while playing)

Definitely because everything but the size of the current player population is better. This one con has reduced the amount of playlists you will be able to find a match in which is sad but when you're getting a game in the more popular lists you will forever stick to that H2 is the better game....because it truely is.Now, the choice is between H2 for xbox or Halo 2 vista. The vista version is supporting achievements which the xbox version doesnt. On the other hand, the xbox version has a ranked matches system while Vista is relying on a custom games search....which is good in a way since you can get a list of games and join whatever game you like instead of sitting in a pre-game lobby waiting for matches....sometimes in vain.
yeah .. i've noticed the BR thing is weird.. i will start a BR battle but end up dying.. but yeah... buy H2... it needs more players.. and i reallly like the maps.. its pretty funand it has to be really cheap by now!!
Yes. Better maps, better weapons(except for assault rifle), and now mostly better players. I think all of the hackers and glitchers moved on to H3.
All throughout history great empires rise and fall. How you ask?Two reasons:1. Economic failure because of either inflation or socialistic programs.2. War. Their armies were spread too thin and too far from home.The United States has bases all around the world in "hazardous" areas and it's economy collapses it seems every 20 years. Do you really think that history won't change? Do you really think that you can run the world?

dont go back to ruining halo 3 with super bouncing, but learn your routs and normal jumps. that was a viable thing in halo 2 because if you mess up a jump a team can nail you ten ways from sunday especialy if you do mlg settings.

Yes.
yes you should buy and give it a chance on xbl it may take a little time for you to get used to but it is worth itand also it works fine on a 360 i do it every day
