Of course you should get it, and you should also get Halo CE. Even though you won't be able to have amazing system link customs, well I guess you could, but you should still play the great campaign. And then you should get Halo 2, play the campaign, and then play the matchmaking that helped define xbox live.

R.I.P. Halo 2

You shouldn't have ever played Halo 3 without playing the first two before. So yes, buy Halo 1 and 2.

Jacko, have you been living under a rock?

I agree to buy both of the previous games.

Everybody should be playing more halo 2. I just purchased a new t.v. so I will be able to play all the halo's again.

Hell yes. Buy Halo CE too.

The campaign is amazing. It's difficult like Halo 3 should have been, Elites were there, and Brutes were actually aggressive fighters. It's lengthy too, so you can occupy yourself with it for a while. Same goes for Halo CE.

The Multiplayer you will probably find to be lacking a lot after playing Halo 3 only, but there are tons of things about it I think are just so much better than Halo 3. Hopefully you see them too. The maps being one of the most obvious.

Yeah, I agree with most of that. The legendary difficulty is waaaay more difficult than Halo 3's legendary. The multiplayer is rather...similar to H3's, but melee isn't so cheap. So yeah, I agree, it rocks.

Halo 2 is a great game. You should definitely get it and at least play through the campaign. =)

Totally. I'm a bit of a minority, but I think the story beat's Halo 3's BY FAR. Just me.

Then I guess that makes me a weirdo too. :O Halo 2's story was much better than Halo 3's. The places you went were more interesting, it had enemy elites, better music and the story was longer. The ending was better too imo.

I agree. Halo 2's campaign was more fun in my opinion. The ability to explore and all of the easter eggs made it really fun and you could play it over and over. The things you could do were endless.

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

More like the majority. I've only met a few people who've like Halo 3's story over Halo 1 or Halo 2's.

If you haven't played Halo 2, you have to. Halo 2 is the only game where you can play as the Arbiter and Master Chief (This is without Co-op of course). Halo 2's MatchMaking is still alive as well and very fun. Downloading the maps for MatchMaking take a while though, but I think its worth it.

You should definitely go and pick it up.

If you're planning on getting Halo CE at some point too, I'd get that first. That way you're not experiencing the story backwards.

It works on the 360, so no problems there.

Of course Halo 2 is a good game. It's slightly outdated, but hey, it's still fun. I haven't played it for a while, as soon as I find my disk though, I'm totally hopping on and seeing if I can't pop some domes.

Yea Halo 2 is good, and again out dated, but if you buy Halo 2 for the PC and plan on using the "Map editor" it will make you want to strangle the idiot who added that to the game. They give you the program but the "Help" doesn't help at all!!! It's like giving someone a whole cake but locking it inside of a steel chest!

I just got the Halo 2 PC version today, and i'm sadly disappointed and pissed that the one thing i bought it for doesn't work!, or they just don't care enough about their fans to actually make a well worth-it program that actually has a tutorial....

Sorry to be so pissed, but iv spent the last 4 and a half hours just to figure out how the heck i get the map editor to work. It would be nice to get some technical support about this, but Bungie never made this product...
