If at first you don't succeed, call in an airstrike

Why not Halo 3? Don't get me wrong or anything. I've had loads of great memories because of Halo 2, but why do YOU still play it?

Our destiny is not frightful because it is unreal, it is frightful because it is irreversible and iron-clad. Time is the substance I am made of. Time is a river which sweeps me along, but I am the river. It is a tiger which destroys me, but I am the tiger. It is a fire which consumes me, but I am the fire.

I watch my friends play it. I don't.

SHOOP DA WHOOP!

I forgot my Halo 3 at a buddy.

  • 02.13.2009 1:41 PM PDT

because its better than halo 3 for competitive playing. halo 3 feels like playing a kiddys game where all you do is mess around and shoot people with big weapons that take no skill, whihc to me is very boring.

I still love aspects of halo 2 and i go back on there. superbounces, how easy it is to make machinima. The really fun glitches that made me play halo 2 more than any other game, plus when i go on then it reminds me of all the fun times i had on there with friends. Nostalgiaa.

but yeah, theres something about it. I dont quite know what though.

Halo 3 got boring. I came back to halo 2 and it was the most fun multiplayer game i ever played in a long time. Plus. Halo 3 just got way to much overpowered weapons in the game. Plus, the vehicles are so useless now since people will laser you no matter what. Atleast in halo 2, you have a chance of riding your vehicle without being destroyed by in seconds by a laser.

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

Because, my dear friend, I have many more memories playing 2 than 3. Me and my friend would play through the Campaign on Legendary so many times. The numerous time we would argue over screen-peeking. The times where we'd make up ranks for our selves with colors codes. Good times.

Also, the campaign is just a lot more fun to play through. Sure Halo 3 has EPIC scenes, but Halo 2's story really got you into it. I mean come on, what was a better scene, Miranda and Johnson being killed, or the simple scene of Master Chief being shot away inside of the forerunner ship at the end of High Charity.

If you ask me, when Johnson got killed, it was pathetic. It wasn't even sad. They didn't really make it dramatic or anything. Miranda's death was kind of dramatic, but still not a good as John's departure.

P.S - Half Jaw's epic speech FTW!

All throughout history great empires rise and fall. How you ask?
Two reasons:
1. Economic failure because of either inflation or socialistic programs.
2. War. Their armies were spread too thin and too far from home.

The United States has bases all around the world in "hazardous" areas and it's economy collapses it seems every 20 years. Do you really think that history won't change? Do you really think that you can run the world?

Because I don't have enough money for a 360, that's why.

I just got a 360 a week ago, and picked up Halo 3. Im planning on picking up Halo 2 soon as well, just because I want to finish the story line, and, get a taste of "10/10, and The Perfect Game"(according to game reviews.)

Because all the pre-teens play h3.

Campiagn Kill Count :31,745. And growing.

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

Because Halo 2 is one hell of a lot more fun. It's faster paced, more balanced, and the maps are actually pretty damn decent. Halo 3 doesn't even compare.

Because the BR works 100% of the time. Because the plasma pistol tracks. Because 4 grenades is better than 2. Because the radar is cooler. RRXYYRRXYY. BXB. BXR. Butterflying. Superbouncing. Because in team snipers you get 2 snipers, not a shotgun. Because the SMG is a great starting weapon. Because the magnum fires normally.

Did i mention that they should do a lockout remake?

  • 02.14.2009 1:56 PM PDT

Lack of K/D spread and there's less pressure in trying to rank up. Also, Halo 3 has much too many cheap tactics to be exploited. Don't get me wrong, Halo 2 has cheap tactics too, buy there are less and people have more self-respect as to not use these cheap tactics.

Because it is better.

Graphics do not an epic game make.

One thing I don't miss about H2 would definitely be the beastliness of the energy sword. My god that things got some range, and whips out in the blink of an eye.

  • 02.15.2009 7:21 PM PDT

Group invites will be treated very poorly because the Care Package is empty.

I really only return to it because of the campaign. I still prefer Halo 3 more though because of its replayability.

Everyone is entitled to their own wrong opinion.


I'm part of the Bungie.net Minecraft group/server called SeptaCrafters
We're a Bungie.net group that goes to our very own Bungie server. Most players are from the Halo community either off Bungie itself or through word to Halo friends.

I really don't understand why people say that Halo 3's graphics make it look fake.

But anyway, we play Halo 2 because it is fun, is it really a bad thing to attempt to relive the old days? I regularly play all three Halos.

Halo 2 takes way more skill. I was just playing Regret with my bro on legendary it it's really ractical, you have to think to win. Also, the story in Halo 2 was waaaay better than Halo 3's. Just my opinion, but whatever.
