Come back when signatures have a use.

Hey, i recently bought halo 2, mainly because i had the first and third, but for some reason never considered getting the second. I have one little gripe, the people playing it are too good ^^;

Now i know, i should practice and get better the old fashion way, but thats kind of difficult when as soon as i use some tactics (usually ported from H3) i just get blasted away by some killer combo that i have no clue about.

What im really asking is, could some people be kind enough to add me to their friends list and show me the ropes?

Thanks in advance

Since organized communities are usually more enjoyable, you should take your time to read the forum rules to save yourself some trouble and help keep the forums clean :-)

Well like you said, practice is probably one of the best things you could do to get better. Halo 2 and 3 have a completely different feel from eachother, so no matter what you get from another player, it's going to take time to adjust to the feel of Halo 2. It shouldn't take too long though. I'd say give it a week of good focusing on Halo 2 and you'll be good to go.

I just started playing Halo 2 online as well, and I've played nearly 1000 games in Halo 3 (about to be in 900s, guess you could call that near 1000....)

So, first couple games. I thought I was just getting paired with the worst people. We kept losing by a whole bunch. I decided to go to team snipers, one of my favorite playlists.

First team snipers, and my team was neck and neck with the other. It was about 40-38. I had one kill XD


Next game, I was kind of getting used to team snipers. Move fast. Stay in one place standing still for about 5 seconds, and you're dead. After that game that I got 1 kill, I tried team snipers again and guess what? I was the MVP of our team with 20 kills. You can even check my profile, since I've only played Halo 2 online less than 10 times..

Feel free to add me, i can help you. We can do MM together and stuff.

to be good at H2 you have to start by learning the button combos. BXR, BXB, etc. BXB is more important because you can do it with any weapon at any time.

I think you will learn to love the game of h2.
