It feels less complicated, more basic, no equipment, which is a good thing and a bad thing. Some people like basically, others, like the idea of Halo 3's equipment and challenge.


After playing Halo 3 and not playing Halo 2 since Halo 3's launch, I picked up the sniper rifle in a BTB game on Coagulation for the first time since, and got head shots like it was nothing. If you are good at sniping in Halo 3, you are a GOD at sniping in Halo 2. Halo 2 sniper is MUCH easier to use that's why.

BOTH games are different, which is why some say Halo 2 is better, and others say Halo 3 is better. Personally, I think all of the Halo 2 maps are better than the Halo 3 maps, and the Halo 2 campaign was better in every way. The only thing I like about Halo 3 is that elites and Arbiter are with you, not against you. But you barely get to fight with them by your side, except for like 2 levels, boo that sucks.

We should have had more elites in Halo 3 it would make the campaign MUCH more epic and fun if we had more of them by our side.

I DO like 4 player cop-op, and the new hud, and the AR (even though I like the SMG as a primary weapon to), and I can go on as to why I like Halo 3, there are differences in Halo 3 and Halo 2, and people missclassify them and say one is greater than the other.


NEITHER is better, they are just different. BOTH ROCK!!! Halo 3 is more realistic, good physics in the game, Halo 2 is more about fun and gun-n-run.

IMO Halo 3 is HARDER than Halo 2, and 10 times more frustrating than Halo 2. EXCEPT you get high ranks in Halo 3 easier because there aren't cheaters taking up space past 30 like in Halo 2. So don't blame the ranking system it's as good as it will ever get and is better than Halo 2's because of the cheaters.

Halo 3 is more challenging, again, some people like it, some don't. Can't please everyone.

The main things Halo 3 sucks with are:

1. Lack of fighting with elites
2. Halo: ODST won't even feature elites, brutes suck.
3. Halo 3 maps suck, so far, though they are getting better map pack by map pack. I think I am going to actually like the Mythic maps, because I like 2 of the legendary ones.
4. Bullet registry and lag messes up Halo 3 more than it did in Halo 2.




Halo 2 is great, and I am going to play it again, yet still play Halo 3 too. Both different. Halo 3 has a more artistic and creative feel to some things, except the campaign and maps which Halo 2 rocked in. Halo 2 maps, WE WON'T EVEN GET THEM BACK in Halo 3 (only got a few remakes), I think it's s stupid move by Bungie to decide to not remake Coagulation, what are they retarded?? The layout, map, enviornment, ALL rocked and made it heaven, the BEST Halo map in history. Halo 2 had better music also.

Well, this is a lot of my opinion, just saying it.

Why are you here?

I have two problems with this

1. I am better at sniping in Halo 3 than in Halo 2.
2. The ranking system in Halo 3 is by no means as difficult as Halo 2's

I actually agree with the OP. Sniping in halo 2 is way easier than halo 3. I'm currently playing halo 2 again. Boy do i miss the old days where i would stay up all night playing halo 2. *Sighs*

I do wish they would of brought some of the epic maps back from halo 2 to halo 3. Coag for example and Relic were really really fun.
