Most of the people who like Halo 3 have never played any of the other Halo games online (Halo 1 obviously cant so only 2 xD)

Most people didnt like Halo 2 becuase it was such a drastic change from Halo 1. It had many twist and turns in it, Many secrets (scarab gun :D), and switched roles during campaign. Halo 3 is a good game with forge and all but it is nothing compared to 2. Halo 3 campaign lacked a compelling story. I never go sucked into it like Halo 2. The campign takes no skill to play even on legendary. Everything is just shinyer in Halo 3 and less action. (and more noobs)

Halo 2 introduced new characters, a new storyline, new gameplay, and new graphics. It was all too big of a 'change' from Halo CE. The Campaign itself wasn't even that good in Halo 2, and introducing these Brutes and Prophets was a mistake. It would've been better if they were fully introduced in Halo 3.

The multiplayer however in Halo 2 was very advanced and wonderful. It introduced a whole new style of online gaming.

you can play halo 1 online (in the PC version).

Now the main thing to me that halo 2 has over halo 3 is the maps. Mind you some of the maps in halo 3 are okay. Secondly, I actually saw nothing really wrong with halo 3 when it first came out but the updates have ruined it; and lastly I hate how cutesy the Elites are...I miss the halo CE ones.

I feel like button combos promote more skilled players, and more fun multi-kills. I prefer 2-3 because the BR is much better and there are less noobs (duh). (This is for live though not overall game)

Halo 2's multiplayer is OOOMAZING compaired to the nooby suck up gameplay of Halo 3


you do realize that dosent make sense the br is noobtastic in halo 2.
the br in halo 3 takes skill.
the sniper in halo 2 is stupidly noobish.
The only thing wrong with halo 3 is tha melee system.
you should not be able to kill each other at least no so easily and it should be weaker but most games are an instant kill with the melee so we cant complain.
But the amount of skill involved would atleast double if melees took say 4 hits!!! lol

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

halo 3 sniper rifles hav a crap recoil when u fire, compared to the halo 2 snipers. the rockets were better in halo 2 then 3 because it could home in on a vehicle when fired. halo 3's campgain was crap compared to the halo 2 since it was very short and alot less challenging on legendary when u played the campgain. one thing h3 should hav had from halo 2 was the skill rank leveling status, u got to kno how close u were from deranking or ranking up online.
Halo 2 is better then halo 3 in my opinion.

Forge is hard as hell to use but still a good feature and saved films is awesome. I agree that halo 2's gameplay was a lot funner though.

i like halo2 and halo3 but halo3 is better bc not as much cheaters in halo3 than in the secound one

I prefer Halo 3, but only for multiplayer, I had to play campaign a few times to get the story, it just didn't seem as well written, and not in the "it's too complex" sort of way, 'cuz I've read my share of novels, and Halo 3's story just sucks.


Halo 2 is my least favorite though, Campaign is ok, multiplayer is (and was) full of glitches and BR supremecy, and it felt unfinished.

Halo CE: Fun campaign, great story, ok multiplayer (spawns suck), pretty good on the PC

  • 04.17.2009 1:07 PM PDT

Well Ya H2 is amazing and even the graphics aren't what H3's are like its way better.

The Skulls are a lot harder to find and when u find one it fells like u actually accomplished something

In H3 the skulls are just in retarded places that u might not look in.....maby

"Where Halo happens"

I agree with you 100%
Halo 2 has something over Halo 3. The storyline was really good. It made you want to play more of the game. Also, I agree about the farcry map editor. you could do so much more than forge. Halo 2 is really pliable, and you can do alot of stuff. I mean, the skulls put a nice twist to it. Made the game interesting. My favorite skull was definitley Sputnik. Usually, i go to Outskirts once i have it. There's just sooo many rooftops, ledges, and places to go. Really, Halo 2 expects you to exceed the limit. Go farther. Take it to another level. I mean whoever came up with all the different glitches, hidden wepons and techniques are geniuses. It helps all the NOOBS become LEGENDS, and puts way much more competition out there.

Anyway, to talk about the game more, i personally enjoyed playing it alot. Multiplayer-Sweet. Campaign-Awesome. Co-op-Greatest thing ever. Online-need I say more? If you get right down to it, Halo 2 capitalizes over Halo 3. But, in essence, There really is no bad Halo, because that's why we're all here, right??

And not having to worry about trip mines when driving a hog. plus i hate choppers.

Halo 2 gave me memories of good times. Halo 3 is fun but lacking as far as good times go. There was only one stage of Halo 3 even close to that, and that was the beginning of the 300-50 era (Infection, Zombies have 300 speed and 50 gravity, zombies have swords and gravity hammers, humans have epic weapons and can kill zombies with one shot), when it was fun.

In fact, I think I'm going to fire up Halo 2 right now. I'll go play Campaign or SWAT.

I love all the games (even halo wars isnt too bad) but I have a soft spot for the M6D pistol in Halo:CE :)

I disagree, I find halo 3 to be less of a challenge to play than halo 2; though, I wouldn't say halo 2 is "OOOMAZING"...

My favorite Halo game from the trilogy is Halo 2.

  • 04.18.2009 6:16 AM PDT

that is so right before i sighned up for bungie i thought i was the only person that liked halo 2 more

  • 04.18.2009 7:07 AM PDT

Clearly because the desktop uses a 3 prong plug and a laptop uses a 2 prong plug, the microwave will fill your car with tostitos better

Halo 3 has more features...

But I think the overall gameplay is much much better in H2.

  • 04.19.2009 8:40 AM PDT

Halo 2 is a really fun game in all but I don't think it has better game play then Halo 3.
