For all those looking to revive Halo 2...
For all those who believe Halo 2 has a mystical feel to it
Sure, Halo 3 is the premier shooter, but where does Halo 2 take the crown for now anyway?
Big Team Battle.

The amount of variety in maps.
The lack of excuses Bungie uses in Halo 3 saying certain maps can't support BTB, is where Halo 2 thrives. The madness that may ensue or maps such as Midship, Gemini, Lockout, etc etc. Halo 3's BTB contains only huge spread maps, with the smallest being Standoff. Halo 2's variety in this department is unmatched.

For those who are looking to play Halo 2 and for some reason cannot find a game, please go to Big Team Battle. The community is always thriving there in my opinion. Keep it alive.

For now anyone can debate the battle of Halo 2 vs Halo 3. I am in the middle for I feel in most cases Halo 3 may be slightly superior but Big Team Battle in Halo 2 is far superior than H3. This thread is not meant to debate whether which is better...

Here is a response I had in a different post...

I think everyone should rally around Big Team Battle in Halo 2. Every game mode can be debated Halo 2 vs Halo 3...but for now there is no valid reason why Halo 3's Big Team Battle is better. It lacks maps that support it and the various the various modes within BTB of Halo 2. Just recently Bungie added some game modes to H3's version but the map issues are still glaring.

One can compare all they want about the changes to BR's and Snipers and gameplay, but the one distinct advantage of Halo 2 is BIG TEAM BATTLE. NOW EVERYONE COME TOGETHER! PLAY BIG TEAM BATTLE.

BTB in H2 sucks now. It's just a bunch of people screwing around, guests betraying, and people quitting.

Hardcore and Snipers is where it's at. Easy to find games in Snipers. Hardcore is more difficult but it is still no longer than 10 mins to get a game.

Big Team Battle is where you will get variety. Not only will you get a variety of game modes but a variety of competition. Personally playing with nothing but Snipers would get a bit old. But endless chaos and battles will never die.

Everyone rise and put your fists in the air. BIG TEAM BATTLE MUST LIVE ON! The fact is this is the game mode which dominates Halo 3's version. Something could be said about Snipers in Halo 3 vs H2. The only argument that has no other side is the fact that Halo 2's Big Team Battle is simply better and has a much vaster selection of maps and games.

Halo 2 Swat is 100% better than Halo 3 Swat.
