Polar here for another interesting question. I put this in the off-topic forum and it only got one vote and was on the second page after 10mins lol.

If 4 Legit Level 50's from Halo 2 got together and played 4 Legit Level 50's from Halo 3 in Team Slayer, which team would come out on top?

Here is the twist: They had to play the original baby and all the maps, Halo: Combat Evolved via LAN party.

Discuss similarities between games and possible disadvantages teams would face.

Halo 2 = Similar to Halo CE and harder to get a 50.

Halo 3 = Similar to the average FPS and easy to get a 50.

Halo 2 easilly would win.

I actually think that it would be the Halo 3 players that would be closer to getting a 50 in Halo: CE, if it had the ridiculous raking scheme. The weapons mostly have less auto-aim, and the sniper doesn't have so much auto-aim to side-swipe it and get a kill every time, and the sword isn't quite as effective.

The games are close, but I figure that Halo 3 is more similar than Halo 2 to Halo: CE.

Plus maybe the Halo 3 players would be familiar with the Assault Rifle. But wouldn't you give the Sniping advantage to the Halo 2 players?

Halo 2. It is much harder to rank up in Halo 2. I was a 26 in Halo 2, and now I am a 44 in Halo 3.

If however Halo 2 and 3 had the exact same ranking system then the Halo 3 50s would win. Halo 3 has much less auto aim and bullet magnetism than Halo 2. Halo 2 had incredibly high amounts of both. In Halo 3 you have to lead your shots with the BR (likewise with the Halo 1 pistol), in Halo 2 you do not.

Not at all, Halo 3 sniping is uch harder than Halo 2 sniping. When I was getting good with the Halo 3 sniper I went back to Halo 2 just for fun, I got a Running Riot standing in one spot with the sniper with 12 shots, that is how much easier Halo 2 sniping is.

Halo 2 is more similar. The graphics, guns, and general gameplay. I don't care about ranks, it doesn't determine skill. Only if you play against people who aren't as good as you or you spend time ranking up. I guess Halo 2.

Yeah, but I was trying to say that the Halo 3 Sniper has that small delay in between shots. Unlike Halo 2's sniper, which is pretty similar to Halo: CE's sniper in terms of firing off shots.

Donkey, the only thing I find similar to Halo 2 in Halo: CE is the sniper's shooting speed, some characters, and the general story. It seems to me that everything was changed, mostly for the worse. Halo 3, however, has brought a few things back towards the first game, such as the AR, less auto-aim and bullet magnetism, leading shots...and that's it.

That's the thing that would throw the Halo 3 players off. The BR spread and the bullet leading.. I think Halo 2 would win because they wouldn't have to change their style as much..

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Well since most Halo 2 players are also Halo 3 players, I'd bet on them. And because the Halo 3 people would be trying to play it like it was Halo 3, which it is clearly better than.
