I did not know I could have a signature.

I know, all true, I just re-ordered it today, to look back at my 2 years of playing it with a .6 K/D ratio and highest skill of 13 I believe :P.

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.

I'm suprised that a lot of people still play halo 2 after all these years.

I don't know, I played it for so long, when friends would come over we'd play that, when I was bored I'd play it, I sold it about a year ago, and I missed it, and imo it is a far superior game than H3 besides forging and theater.

Equipment ruined the game. "OMG i cant shoot, let me use this equipment to save myself!1" And the rockets were fine. Everything seemed to work better in Halo 2.

Although I never played it when it was in its prime, I really wish I had. Halo 2 is so much better than Halo 3.


You missed out dude; you have no idea.

LESS SERIOUS? Honestly all the -blam!-s were left behind in Halo 2, only a handfull are in H3, or at least that's how things worked out for me.

5 years and counting on Bungie. I feel old and worthless.

I miss it for the Pistol. H2's pistol was amazing, you have to admit...

Truth. Equipment is stupid, and levels the playing field between good players and bad players.

How can you say the rockets are overpowered with the lock on feature when there is a spartan laser? You can dodge rockets but you can't dodge the laser.

Halo 2 = the best memeries. Pure nostalgia.
And the best part is those memeries keep on comin' whenever you play.

I think you might want to take a look at this forum's name.

Anyway, I do miss the Halo 2 days. Though I never played it online, I watched videos and played it with friends. Even 1v1s on Coag were better than most things in Halo 3. The weapons were much more balanced and generally better than H3's - just look at the H2 Magnum, the lack of an overpowered spray 'n' pray weapon, a working anti-sniper weapon (Battle Rifle), the list goes on. I think they added too much new stuff to Halo 3 (Equipment, AR, etc.) and made the weapons feel less like weapons.

I still play the game online, and it's still very fun. I usually play SWAT and Snipers, which are practically uncomparable to Halo 3's versions of those playlists. It's hard to describe what made it better online; maybe it was nostalgia. It's still a great online game, and everyone who hasn't tried it yet should give it a chance.

Check out my Gaming Rig on EVGA Mod Rigs.

H2 pistol was amazing... Until they updated it and 2 of them was not enough to blow up an invading warthog on Coagulation.

Hi, I am in charge of the clan AK folk. Folk is about playing games together over on XBL, mostly Halo 2 and 3. Also folk has weekly gaming gettogethers (hosted by one of the leaders) were anyone from the clan is allowed to partake in. These ''gettogethers" include playing certain games for fun, competition, etc. Also members are allowed to host there own "gettogethers" anytime. HOW TO JOIN: Easy, just simply contact me in a message on Bungie.net. After I will reply telling you what to do.

True Halo 3 is way to serious and all about ranked matches. People need to play more custom games on halo 3. I still like halo 3 but halo 2 was way better because of its online atmosphere.

There's a word for what I am, but I can't pronounce it.

BFA, CCS - olde and bony & one minute musings.

What can I say? It was an awesome game. There's a lot to miss, but there's also a bunch to look forward to in future titles. As much as I'd like to be nostalgic and dwell in the past, it's a better feeling to look at the future and be head over heels.
