Subject: Is Halo 2 Worth it?

Hey all, I've been on Bungie for a while, just haven't posted until now. I'm not exactly new to Halo, but I am new to playing the games, having finally gotten an XBox last June and buying Halo 3 with it. I have also downloaded Halo: Combat Evolved off of XBL. However, I have yet to play Halo 2.

I learned from a friend that my local Staples has Halo 2 for sale in their electronics department.

So what I'm asking Halo 2 fans, is it worth it?

I know I would like to be able to play the full storyline, but I could always rent it. I know I would enjoy the Covenant campaign and the full selection of enemies that are missing from Halo 3.

I'll probably still buy it at some point, but I always feel it good to get a second opinion.

Thanks in advance.

Get it. Halo 2 needs players and needs at least a larger community so that all game types can be played. It is by far the best of the three, and it is full of less camper noobs (duh--less ppl)

Yes, it's the best online experience, with a total of around 30 people online at any given time! It's just like playing a really old game or something...

I just got a original xbox and I'm loving halo 2, so yes it is worth buying

Always check if theres bog roll first

Yeh man you really will relish it.
If you've played and enjoyed either of the others then you'll love Halo 2.
Especially the campaign, may still say its the best so far.
Great game, and not to play lockout regularly, is halo sacrilage

ARBITER, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT BUTTER!!! WORT WORT WORT.

Halo 2 is Bungie's greatest game.

The campaign is huge, there's an awesome rythm to it, and so much to explore.
The skulls don't have some crybaby menu for access. You want to use them, make a profile for each one.
Johnson kicked the can, just like in CE. They made him a senior citizen for H3 and took away the gold of the game.
Playing as an Elite is amazing, and fighting side by side with Hunters will make you soil your pants.
The storyline is canon, unlike that in Halo 3. Eat it Bungie, Brutes do NOT get infected.
Just a warning. Jackal snipers on Legendary can kill you if they see a fingernail. And you thought aimbots on CS were bad.
Four frags and four stickies, life was made. Sputnik/warthog/frag ftw.
No annoying Guilty Spark noises after a boss fight, no pithy attempts at suspense and drama. The Arbiter killing the Prophet in H3 wasn't too impressive Bungie. Neither was that conglomeration of noise before the warthog race.
