H2 has bxb, doubleshot, etc. Makes everything more fun. Also, the fact that you have a true unranked proportion- in H3 you still have EXP to worry about.

Also, I may be the only one who thinks this, but I thinkt he glitches/superjumps/getting out of maps actually made the game more fun in a way. I dont know why exactly, but it ws just cool to go flying through the air, over an entire battle field, and land far away. The unpolished feel makes Halo 2 feel more gritty and in-your-face to me, as well as the fact that the Maps allowed for great strategies! Anyone remember using the handicap/warthog duo to launch the bomb carrier from beachside all the way to the base on Zanzibar? Or making the flag carrier stand on the banshee as you slowly flew it back to your base on Coagulation?

XD Good Times!

yeah and being able to get killed by the guardians if you get a bad spawn.... used this a lot.

Throw a nade at your feet, and run forward and press RRY with the BR or Carbine. If you hold the gun at head lvl, you will shoot yourself in the back of the head. Awesome.

Superbouncing was fun, too.... I would go and play H2 right now but my disc is destroyed. I'm going to get a new copy now....

Yax is a shining beacon in these dark times. You should all strive to be more like Yax.

Today instead of putting in the Halo 3 disc, I chucked in the H2 one for memories sake.

And I played online for the very first time. I must admit, I'm impressed.

I was born in '90, male, and an avid gamer.

Many people cannot afford an Xbox 360 to play Halo 3. Some play it because they like the maps, the old BR, and the lack of little kids and jerks.

You weren't around the Halo series before Halo 3 came out, were you? You just see that Halo 3 has better graphics, so therefore it's better, right?

I do actually like Halo 3 better, but only a tiny bit, I am fed up with people who think that if it has bad graphics, the game is bad. That is like dating a girl based solely on how attractive she is.

teh yeah I mean who would do that...rate her on how hawt she is...sheesh...jerks these days...

I prefer Halo 2 to Halo 3. It's simply more fun for me.

I never really played Halo 2 but when I did I liked it alot.

Wow, Hot Topic in Dead Fourm. lol

I was sadly not able to experience the Halo 2 frenzy. I got Halo 2: LE a year after Halo 2 came out, after I tried a Halo:CE demo. Before Halo:CE came out, I was a strict PS2 RPG Fan Boy, I didn't want Halo:CE, until after I played the Demo a year after Halo 2 came out. That was a mistake. And even after I got Halo 2, I wasn't able to play online due to lack of internet connection and subscription money. So I missed out on the fond memorys of Halo 2 that most people have. =(. Once I poped in Halo 3 and got Online I loved it, and I tried Halo 2 customs a few times, even went and got Halo:CE off marketplace just to play what I had missed. But I have to say Halo 2 looks like it was more a game for fond memorys then Halo 3 will ever be.

how come people still play Halo 2 so much? I thought that nobody still plays halo 2. how come its still so popular?


Because it still has such an amazing style and feel that Halo 3 does not completely portray and is still nonetheless another great adventure in the Halo trilogy.

wow, my dick broke so i ain't getting it for a while!

UPDATE: Defnop552 has confirmed he has fixed his dick.

People still play Halo 2 because they cannot afford an Xbox 360 or Halo 3.

Cheap bastards.

This.

I used to play halo 2 all the time back in 2005, and late 2006. I hit my friends list limit on xbox just by playing halo 2. Sucks that we moved on, but I'm back at it. I downloaded all four map packs on Sunday and tried a match of Team Training on Turf. Fun, i'm still decent.

So I got my Halo2 disc back two nights ago and I've played both nights for about an hour per night. The one thing that I've noticed is that most of my beatdown and assassinations aren't registering... I hear the beatdown sound, but no kill? maybe it's just that I need to get used to the gameplay again. But good news.... I'm still good! Went 22-4 and 18-7 in my last two games! It's just too bad I'm at level one because I keep getting bad teammates. I had a couple games where teammates weren't even shooting, they had never played a Halo game in their life. Oh well, I still had fun.
