Over all I think H3 has better maps and better everything, however the quality of matchmaking isbetter in H2. In H3 there are too many cheaters, boosters, and standbyers that make the game unfair and annoying for the rest of us. The H2 community does not seem as offensive to.

Yeah, I recently started playing Halo 2 again, I still play Halo 3 and haven't given up on it. But it sure is fun to go back and play some Halo 2, so far a lot less random crap has happened compared to Halo 3.

Ahh thank you for finally pointing out what the difference is H2/H3.
Basically from what you'r saying is... it's the people (not the game) that might make H2 better, right ?

No. I play H3 and H2 with friends, so I don't care or even notice the community of either games. H2's gameplay is vastly superior to Halo 3's. The game takes significantly more skill than H3, and much less stupid random bull-blam!- happens. Honestly, the only thing about H3 that wasn't made worse was the auto-aim on the BR and Sniper.

I donno guys, Halo 3, with the theater and srceenshot option and the amount of groups created of of H3, I still think Halo 3 is superior, plus isint gaming supposed to be for fun ? and not as much skill ? I mean unless you're MLG or something who from what I understand play H3 O_O.
Thruthfully to me they are great in it's own category I just find H3 has a lot more value because of the extras (forge, theater, groups).
The only reason I see myself playing H2 again is to go through the campain again
o_O


Halo 2 had/still has better maps than Halo 3. All of the maps in Halo 2 could be played countless times in mutliplayer without being frustrating(except for Backwash, and maybe Lockout, but I wasn't a real fan of Lockout, but it is still better than Blackout). I can personally say that every map in Halo 2 was excellent(except for Backwash), but in Halo 3, I can only name a handful, when it will probably have more maps than Halo 2 after Halo 3: Recon comes out.

While Halo 2 had their fair share of cheaters at the time, the matchmaking was fun, the gametypes that were chosen were always fun, and the Maps were fun. Plus, you didn't have 3 versions of the same horrible playlist in Halo 2. In Halo 3, I can't count how many times I have played on a horrible map, with a horrible gametype on it.

Oh, and something most people don't know about, Halo 2 was supposed to have the saved films feature, but due to time restraints(Hi Microsoft), it, and many of the other options and campaign levels had to be cut.

So you're telling me H2 is better because of the maps ? Dude, you do know we have forge right ? You don't like a map, edit it, make it better play some customs, same goes for the game type. Further more if you're so unsatisfied with the gametypes, check out the "Optimatch" forum, Shishka runs that forum for a reson. You have a suggestion/complaints, you know what to do. I'm sorry man but all I hear you do is complain and yet you're still on H3, what's up with that ?

You can't change the map layout with Forge, genius. The maps were a lot better, and the gameplay was also much better. Halo 3 is a really poor game compared to its predecessor.

I reallly like Halo 2, its balanced, fun, and i really enjoy every map on it. i tried to return but for some reason i couldnt sign in to xbox live, any help here?

  • 11.10.2008 1:36 PM PDT

I'd probably play just H2 if it didn't take like 10 minutes to find a game =(

Halo 2 takes even less skill.

At least in Halo 3 you have to lead shots with the BR, not just point-shoot-headshot. And the Halo 3 Sniper actually has to hit the head. You can shoot someone in the elbow in H2 and get the snipe. Plus no-scopes actually work right in H3. Not to mention the heat seeking death blob noob combo in H2 that will follow people through walls and over mountains...

The BR and Sniper are painfully easy to use. Sure you can BXB, BXR, double and quadshot, but that's the only difficult thing.

I <3 H2, but it isn't all that skillful.

Halo 2 was always fun, but I used to play at the peak of modding/standbying, so it wasn't exactly the most entertaining game. I never got into the high levels mainly for this reason. I think Halo 3 if fun if you play a lot of social games which is all that I have been doing lately, because right now I am too fed up with ranked games, and playing social has been much more enjoyable for me.

The maps in Halo 3 barely support Big Team Battle. At least Bungie in Halo 2, had the vast majority support. I have a gripe with some of the maps in Halo 3.

The BR and Sniper are much easier to use in Halo 2.
