Then there are the people who poop in the mash potatoes. Those people get launched out on their asses.

For me it's not so much that H2 is better, it's just different. And now it offers a certain nostalgia.

Better campaign, better multilayer, better community. --->for me anyway<---

Also Halo2 has been out so long, it's like a home for all those who are still true halo2 fans :)

I am responsible for dividing the Covenant. I shall end this war.

The only good thing I like about 2 is the BR is still good. Aside from that Halo and Halo 3 devour Halo 2.

Halo 2 has many secrets (more than H3), better campain, better story line, campain is actually a challenge (like getting the skulls).

Halo 2 has parts of what made me a fan of Halo in the first place. It had the amazing multplayer experience of halo CE where if you where amazing you really stood out against those who were just ok. and it had the story that just felt halo-esque. when halo 3 came out bungie completely redid the multiplayer to make it more fair for everyone (noob Friendly) and the story was very dramatic but just wasnt halo to me. Halo 2 was still halo that i loved since i first got my xbox, while halo 3 wasn't halo anymore, it was altered so much by bungie to draw in more fans that its just no where near as good as the first 1

Ostrich I really wanna sig you, but need some fresh stuffs.
So make with the funneh.

Bit­ch don't tell me what to do.

Halo 2 was so far better to me. The glitches and superbounces kept me busy with my friends for months. Not to mention the BR matches were a whole lot more fun than anything Halo 3 has to offer.

Can you believe it?

It had better music, a better story, better multiplayer, better maps, enemy elites, arbiter's active camo and Flood forms that didn't die after one melee.

Because it is more competitive, and more of a challenge.

It takes more skill.

And the ranking system actually makes sense.

My god anyone who can get a 28 in Halo 2 has a 50 in halo 3 its ridiculous. I had a harder time getting a 35 in Halo 2 than I did a 50 in Halo 3.

Elites still have a very very small advantage. It is harder to hit them from the back i know.
Not that many people play as elites though, i have never met an elite that was better then me. Usually because they are all little kids who like the "dinosaur", and no1 who is more serious about the game plays as an elite.

I just know im going 2 run into a good elite today now that i said that.
oh! f who ever ever say u have a running riot in halo2 swat..you are bound to die in the next minute. It always happens to me. >.<

THERE BOTH GOOD IN THERE OWN WAY HALO 3:WEN FINDING SKULLS IT FEELS EMPTY SO ACHIVMENTS ARE A BETTER WAY OF A CHALLANGE AND U KEEP THE SKULLS WHICH HELPS. HALO2: THE HALO2 MULTIPLAYER HAS BETTER MAPS THAN HALO3 AND ITS WAS SO MUCH FUN TO GET TOGETHER WITH UR MATES. HALO3: THE MULTIPLAYER IN HALO3 IS JUST THE SAME BUT MORE COMUNITY GAME LIKE WITH BETTER VIOCE CHAT AND CO OP. OK SO IF HALO2 HAD 1.CO OP 2.BETTER VOICES 3.MORE WEPONES HALO2 WOULD HAVE BEEN A LEDGEUND!!!! THANKS

  • 02.11.2009 1:13 PM PDT

For me the main reason would be that not only does the BTB not lag, you actually find games of BTB faster than H3 MM.

And dual needlers just look too awesome to not love.

better maps,bigger campain

more to it in h2 every game was diffrent while in halo3 you can usually perdict what will happen
(in my case i can usually tell were the fight will take place what weapons will be used and what team will win) over all halo2 was more skill based and had more opertunites to be fun

RIP Halo 2

Well, I like the maps a lot more. I also like the numerous glitches. There a lot of things to do in Halo 2. You can get out of maps and explore in Campaign and in MP. The MP maps are a lot better than Halo 3's and Halo 2 is just smoother, if that makes sense. It has just the right number of weapons, a lot to do, it's just perfect.

Obviously I'm influenced by nostalgia though.

No.

I think it's funny as hell that people are saying that H2 takes more skill.

Are you all 4?

Is H2 that hard?

There's no arguing that it takes more skill and is more competitive. The ranking system rewards only the good players. You have to be really good to get above a 30. Also, the maps are more balanced and fun to play.
