I've already read all of the halo books today you stupid nerd. Plus Halo:Fall of reach twice.

Halo 2 sniping and BR'ing is much cooler but i HATE the SMG starts, They are really weak and can only be folllowed up by a weak melee. But I like Halo 2 more =)

  • 03.16.2009 3:36 PM PDT

wow, then play only halo 2 and stop -blam!-in', I, personally like both equal, though more people play halo 3 so I stick with that one

I just watched the video where they beat halo 2 in 101 min and I was just brought back. There can be no doubt. Halo 2 is the greatest game ever. (PERIOD)

There's a run in there, on Legendary with no deaths.

Edit: This is the best exhibition of H2 prowess I've ever witnessed so here's a direct link: Incredible It's very long (3:16:28) because the rules to this speedrun is no editing whatsoever, Legendary and he can't die so it's filmed from start to finish.

Just watch Cairo Station and prepare to be dumbfounded. SonicJohn coined the phrase SLASO (Single player-Legendary-All-Skulls-On) for H2. Now, these guys already did 2 H3 SLASO speedruns. Nobody is brave enough at HSH to seriously attempt an H2 SLASO speedrun yet. Big difference!

just so everyone knows im flaming....

H3 blows in comparison to H2 - maps suck, gameplay is way too slow, and host sucks

played H3 yesterday and did not get host at all, still won most of my games but had difficulty killing anyone because of host. the day before I got host three games in a row and won all three with steaktacular. I got shot through a solid wall and got beatdown through a solid wall as well. stuck a guy in the face and it didn't blow up! is it really that hard to make a fair game? Bungie needs to invest a little of the money we've given them and buy dedicated servers so there is no more host latency. got 4 shotted by a guy and my head wasn't even sticking out. I shot a guy SEVEN times in the face and he didn't die! wtf Bungie, please fix? please do something about the crappy gameplay in H3 lately... ban me from the forums for spamming and flaming I don't care about the forums. I just want Bungie to know that they made a mistake switching from H2 gameplay to H3 bull-shananagans. y u think H3 kids get banned every day for flaming on H3F? its because they want you to do something about the H3 host. so from now on ima be playing H2 instead. as I recall I raped in that game without host.


Hows about getting off dial-up if you cant keep up?

And super lol's at the notion that Halo 3 has a bigger advantage then in Halo 2. Tell me, off host in Halo 2 what is the longest range of the sniper? what is the chance of beating host it melee? Thats right, gtfo moron.

its not like all I do is play halo3. I get up at 6am to get ready to commute to OSU for class til noon. then at one I go to work until 6pm. after that I do homework for bout 2hr and eat supper which takes bout an hr when I make it. after that Im usually dead tired so I hit the sack around 1030-11pm. and I've got a girlfriend already. we're going to Columbus together this weekend to meet up with some friends and chill the weekend away. but it makes me mad when I get on to have fun (fun for me is winning since I'm very competitive, just playing isn't good enough for me), but I can't because when I pwn someone in the face with my sniper or get noscopes that don't register I get po'd. It's not fun for me to beat someone and not win (I know that doesn't make sense, but just think about it and you will figure it out). I out BR people all the time and somehow they don't die when they are supposed to. When I BR someone I shoot five times to be sure they die, which should be plenty because I don't miss often. But when that fifth shot doesn't do it I feel like throwing my controller across the room and running to Bungie headquarters and stubbing some toes in a fit of rage. I feel like every game I play is chock full of BS and it all accumulates to make me soooo angry! Halo2 is so much better because even if you don't have host you still have just as good a chance of winning a BR battle with or without host.


I think you need to spend more time doing homework........particularly english.

My friends call me D Bo.

So i was playing Halo 2 on lockout, i have over 2000 games in Halo 2 and LOVED the multiplayer in Halo 2, but now people have discovered ways to defeat their foes in rediculous ways - glitching, button combos, super jumping, etc. The one problem i have with Halo 2 is the sword, it has infinite energy. I played a BTB Team Slayer game on Lockout. Since when did Lockout become a Big Team Slayer Map?!

This was on Lockout, it's a big team slayer battle, there was this guy who had an SMG, i had a BR, when i came closer he immediately switched to his sword. (You can sword lunge an opponent as soon as you press Y.) First he has an SMG presses Y and next thing i know i'm dead.

Halo 2 is Great! and so is Halo 3... in different ways of course.

Get a better connection that is all. Most of the problems you stated were all because of lag.

Uh what, does his connection magically upgrade itself when he puts the halo 2 disc in then??

Overall to be fair though, host advantage is certainly lessened in halo 3. But halo 3 is more sensitive to a bit of lag I find.


Honestly though neither of them are perfect, both have their own advantages and disadvantages.

I thought the maps were better on Halo 2. But Halo 3 has it's own greatness, too.

H2 is good in some ways, as is H3.


Hold on, what's bad about Halo 2? If you mention Host, I'll just stop you right there. It's a downside, but it is in no way a downside. If you must have that be one, okay, but really, it's not that big of a deal.

If you say button combonations, my opinion on the matter is that it enriches the game, and lets the veteran player be the best he can be.

There are glitches too, but that is what has kept the game alive.

i guess thats ur opinion i think more skill is required to be good at halo 3. i would play halo 2 all the time but matchmaking is to slow and no one is on any more.

and this is why halo 3 has more games played online than halo 2.

All my opinion.

Posted by: Starless Legacy
Halo 2's multiplayer will never be beaten, its campaign however...

H3's campaign sucks. The levels are very short and can be completed within a few minutes. The enemies are slow and stupid. The cutscenes were pretty bad.

Halo 1 still has the best everything, but Halo 2 is second.

Halo 3 is just flooded with bugs, problems, limitations, and retards.

  • 03.20.2009 6:00 PM PDT

I miss Halo. Maybe Halo 4 will change that.

Edit: Lol nope

The problem I will always have with Halo 2 is the masses who BxB or BxR and say they are 'pro' for doing it. Its a -blam!- glitch and shouldn't be abused. Also the amount of auto-aim on Halo 2 is rediculous, and really did lower the actual skill level of players found on the game.

The gamertag linked to this account is an old one. My new one is James Voe Guy.

Have you fine tuned your router for xbox live (set up port forwards e.t.c)? I had much the same problem a while ago. You are never going to get a 100% fair game as long as your playing over live. There are usually 8 players in a game, each player has a different ISP, different connection speeds e.t.c there are so many variables.....all you can do is make sure that the B.S isn't your fault lol.

  • 03.20.2009 7:05 PM PDT

I agree with you saying that Halo 1 is good, I personally think it is awesome. Anyways, about Halo 2 V.S. Halo 3, For 1 I have played many matches not being host and I have won/lost, even as host I have won/lost, and it's not because the host has an advantage. in fact the only time I've actually been killed because of lag was when I was playing a match with 16 people.
In my opinion I think the Halo 2 Campaign kinda sucks. And I'm pretty sure you can't beat Halo 3 Campaign levels in a "few minutes." The "slow, stupid" enemies actually a challenge. The cutscenes are the best I have seen In all Halo games. The equipment makes multiplayer/campaign more fun because you must be ready for anything. Also Forge is a great thing in Halo 3 not only because you can play it online, but also because some really good map varients have come from it. I'm pretty sure that there are no race/puzzle/infection maps on Halo 2. The fact of 4 player ONLINE co-op campaign on Halo 3 makes it even more fun especially when your friend snipes a brute chieftan in the head that was just about to smash you with a gravity hammer. Also A big problem I find in Halo 1/Halo 2 is the fact that splash damage is not present. I'm pretty sure a grenade does not affect the people on the other side of a titanium steel wall. Halo 3 also has better physics, pretty much everything in Halo 3 can be affected by physics except for the map structure itself of course. In fact, you can shoot a rocket coming at you with a sniper in Halo 3 and it will explode. In Halo 3 you can ricochet sniper rifle and Fuel Rod Gun bullets. And you can make rockets fly out of control with the gravity hammer.
Please elaborate on the bugs/problems/limitations.
