Subject: I play halo 2, but why doesn't Bungie patch it?

Honestly i wouldn't mind getting good at bxr and gettign into secret places with superjumps and stuff, but its really frustrating in matchmaking. Some people play the game (even though they have H3 like me) and try to enjoy it. But a few players break the game rules and make it uninjoyable sometimes. Has bungie gotten super lazy or does it not care about their 8 million units seller halo 2?

They can't fix bouncing and button glitches

I think the Halo 2 maps and campain was worlds better than Halo 3's. However, I think Halo 3's overall multiplayer is better.


You can argue about which had a better campain, but multiplayer was hands down halo 2. What made halo 2 better options. In halo 3 if you are outgunned (the other person has a better weapon, or has first shoot) useless the person is really really bad, your screwed because there is nothing you can do. In halo 2 your in game options where expanded by the glitches available (regardless if you agree with them or not you cant deny the fact that they added to the gameplay). Now if you where in a citation you could do multiple things try to get close to the player to bxb or bxr. If you are in a BR fight try to double/quad shot your way out of trouble. All these thing added true veitey which is why halo 3 montages have the same thing over and over, and halo 2 montages where amazing.

Look man, just roll up your sleeves and get good at buttons and bouncing. Emrace and go with the flow. You won't be sorry.

They couldn't fix it in it's prime, so they aren't worried about fixing it now.

The BxR was fun in Halo 2. And so is the RRX-YY-RRX.

Use them. I love Halo 2.

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.

they cant patch it or update it because they already "lost the keys" to halo 2.

Do you want your map considered for Halo: Reach matchmaking? Does it support MM gametypes? Send off an email to cartographers@bungie.org or PM me a link and description to your map for submission to the Community Cartographers. I may respond to you for updates to your map, so be sure to be open for communication and critique.

Hi /r/halo on Reddit!

Nobody has lost the keys to Halo 2.

It was patched about 7 or 8 times. If they had been able to remove superbouncing and button glitches, they would have, but they were more than likely unpatchable. Superbouncing doesn't work in Halo 2 Vista because H2V uses a newer, unbugged version of Havok. The button glitches still work because apparently that's a deep rooted problem with their animations system.

Note how the last two maps have death barriers everywhere to make superbouncing pointless. They couldn't do this with the disc maps because it would have made patched Halo 2s incompatible with unpatched.

button glitches = something new to get good at
superbouncing = something to do when you're bored
