Hello, Polar here once again to ask the Halo 2 Community another question. Did Button Combinations/ Button Glitches make or break your Halo 2 experience? Does it bother you when someone unloads a BR clip faster than you can say "What the..."?

The Battle Rifle, proud firearm of the BxR and Double Shot. What do you think about the Button Glitches? Does it irritate you enough to turn away from Halo 2? Are you a master of the Button Mashing? Is your Xbox Controller a little tweaked? Or do you just keep truckin' along in Matchmaking just like you did back in '04?

Tell me what you think about it all. Discuss the Superjumps/Superbounces as well.

I love all the glitches in H2, it makes the game much better then H3

I just hate all the cheaters, but you usually can play snipers without getting matched up against cheaters (not right now though)

RIP Halo 2

I use it, but not just because they use it. I like using it. It can be helpful in desperate situations.

I popped H2 in yesterday, and I really do miss the double shot.

Campiagn Kill Count :31,745. And growing.

The Revisionaries- One of the greatest screenshot groups on B.net. With 250 members and growing.

I actually never really use them except the occasional BxR if I can pull it off.

I think they're kind of stupid, but once I get into higher ranks I know I'll need to start practicing them.

They made the game. That's the main difference in my eyes as to why H2 > H3

BxR=good
Doubleshot= I can't do it when the pressures on so I don't care.
Jumps=Your out of the game for 5 minutes trying to bounce, and once you get where your trying to get you get picked off by an enemy sniper, so you be the judge.

I have a clean BR, and I only use button glitches when the situation is urgent (Except for BxB, you need to use that all the time.

Good replies guys. I agree with most of you, especially the comment Ace made about the Superjumps.

I do have one question though: What is all this talk about the 'Quad Shot?' Does it differ from the Double Shot?

  • 01.01.2009 7:05 PM PDT

a quad shot is just 2 double shots

and for Ace's comment, there is some people that know how to bounce and don't have to try for 5 minutes, they just need a few seconds, and if it does take too long most people are smart enough to stop and help their team

On occasion somebody will be skilled at bouncing and be able to get out of the map with a power weapon and wreak havoc. But consider this: You superbounce out of the map and proceed to play a 12 and 0 game for instance. Your team is playing a three against four all the while, so is your plus twelve going to make up for your team's disadvantage? Maybe it will, maybe it won't. All I'm saying is that there are plenty of advantages and disadvantages to bouncing.

And yeah, a quad shot is just two successive double shots (Literally RRXYYRRX)

I can't even begin to tell you how much I absolutely despite button combinations. Now I don't want you getting the wrong idea about me that I might hate them because I can't do them. To me I find them rather easy to do, but do I indulge myself in it, no. And here's why.

In my opinion button combos have nearly broken any sort of enjoyment I find in this game. My main reason for occasionally returning is the community it holds. The main reason for leaving occasionally, the community. There is a common, and tremendous way of thinking that spurs people to think that simply because they can manipulate the game in ways it wasn't intended to be, are better than someone that cannot. Obviously Bungie did not intend to have Halo 2 riddled with so many glitches. It was meant to be a fair and competitive game. Whether or not you can double shot the poor mate that is unaware how to double shot should not determine whether or not you win.

It should be based on actual skill (i.e. aiming at the head, strafing, et cetera) not the amount of bullets that can fly out of your gun at one time. The ability to defeat the coding of the game doesn't make you any more skilled than someone that can't. It never should. In essence I personally condone, very strongly, the use of any glitching/manipulating of the map in a matchmaking setting. But such as modding, button combinations are fine with me so long as they are contained in the friendly setting of Customs. Otherwise it is cheating. Bungie has even stated it to be.

Do you think there is some kind of intense button glitch that has yet to be discovered? Probably not, but you never know.

Doesn't bother me, I often use these button-glitches.

  • 01.04.2009 4:08 PM PDT

Call me Reach.

Never used them.

The only one I used was YY, which I'm not sure if it's a glitch or not.

  • 01.05.2009 1:12 AM PDT

All the pros use Bxr + quad(double) shots. So I guess it's pretty much a skill now.

That is true, when I saw Halo 2 MLG footage, they were using all kinds of button combinations. Those pros are insane with what they can do.

I'm rarely using the RRXYY combination, I'm simply not skilled enough with it to do it on a regular basis.BxR on the other hand is standard when given the chance, mostly because the opponent is most likely trying to do it to me.

BXR and other button glitches broke Halo 2, and thats why I don't play Halo 2 anymore.
