I know I'm insanely late but now I can say I have it ^_^

I don't get my xbox back for another week sadly, but I thought I'd come and see what everyone's opinion is on it. What is the best aspect of it? Should I just go through campaign or try out the multiplayer?

  • 05.02.2009 10:50 PM PDT

i bought it just for the story. but i played online and its amazing. not too many people still play sadly. not as great as H3 but its hella fun.

R.I.P. Halo 2
11/9/04 - 4/15/10

- B( )B

The multiplayer for me is added goodies, I bought each of the Halos for the story. It's even more epic if you read the books.

Campaign first my friend! The story is the most important part of this series. And pay attention to the music too. It's quite enthralling :).

I know just from random links and Halo 3 how mesmerizing the music can be. The composer is complete genius. And looks like I'll be taking campaign down first =D

Is it more difficult than Halo 3?

Light a log on fire and a man will be warm for the rest of the day. Light a man on fire, and that man will be warm for the rest of his life.

Yes, it's considerably more difficult than halo 3.

  • 05.03.2009 2:43 AM PDT

in my oppinion best campaign out of the three and i mainly just hate the ranger elites. soo annoying but on the other hand it'd be boring if it were too easy.

btw jackal snipers are about 50x more efficient than what they are in halo 3

The campaign is really good, but back in the day the multiplayer was simply amazing.

Way harder. That, or I was just absolutely horrible at the time.

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

Marty = <3

And yes, it's harder than H3. Saying that, Cortana is still much harder than the last level or the Earth levels.

Somewhat.
But there are all sorts of fun little easter eggs as well though, like the Scarab gun.

Definitely don't drop it after campaign, in my opinion the multi is better than H3. Due to the lack of people, the only playlists you can find matches in nowadays are BTB and TS. If you've never used the H2 BR before, get ready for a surprise =)

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 :-)

In playing campaign, I would suggest that you search for some skulls and Easter eggs. There's nothing like stumbling upon an in-game surprise when you first play something new.

I'd wait til I knew the levels to be running around for easter eggs. I garuntee you'll be too focused on shooting Elites to be looking for skulls.

And most of them can't even be found on anything except Legendary.

I bought Halo 1 and 2 to catch up on the story, and I definitely found Halo 2 to be the hardest of the 3, and possibly the best.

My Xbox refused to let me play online, nut i spent a couple of hours learning how to double shot and super jump for the fun of it.

  • 05.04.2009 3:01 AM PDT

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Halo 2 has the best story, unarguably the best music and a fantastic multiplayer. It was the perfect Xbox game before the 360.

  • 05.04.2009 3:55 AM PDT

Why don't we just share the hill?

i only just bought it but it good.

blarg.

When I first got halo 2 I went into the the campaign because I found Halo 1's story enthralling and I couldn't wait to see what happned . I am glad to say I have absouloutly hammered my disc into bits playing it. Since I don't have live I do split screen alot and that is great. But if you just got it, do campaign first, its great

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

Well I haven't had a whole lot of time to play but I jumped into MM since I've only had 10 minutes of free time this week. I played Rumble Swat on Lockout =D

I love the BR on H2, but I'm so used to using bumper jumper on H3 that it's slightly confusing switching back and forth ;_;

I haved played all the Halo games, in the right order, campaign first for all of em. If you wanted a better understanding of the Halo story, play the campaign. It's hard to find a game in matchmaking these days so online play can be a bit slow and frustrating. It's a fun time if you manage to get a game goin though.
