Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Very common thread.
Basically, I prefer Halo 3 in the states they are in now (nobody to play with on H2, little choice in matchmaking etc) - as individual games, I think Halo 2 is far better, more fluid and just plain out more fun than Halo 3.
If I could swap the online population for the 2 games I wouldn't even blink before agreeing.
I think Halo 2s campaign is better, because frankly killing brutes just isn't fun compared to shooting up the classic elites, they don't feel as smart, or as alien due to their monkey-like appearance.
Multiplayer I think the glitches added something, BxR, Faster reloads, Superjumping to explore every map - loved it. It made things faster and more intense. The beat down system that prevented the "ar rushing" of Halo 3 is brilliant too, I'm tired of being on running riots and being cut down by a Level 2 with an ar and a beat down, it just didn't work like that on Halo 2.
Halo 3 just feels so... slow - the maps aren't great either, it's not the same experience in my opinion.
Ranking system on Halo 2 was generally better"ranklock", second accounters etc just drive people crazy on Halo 3, the simpler approach of Halo 2 was more effective, more fun - the idea of your highest ever rank being displayed is much better though, people never played the playlist again once they reached 50 on H2.
The medal system of Halo 3 was also better, the stats on the website far better - but possibly too addictive, so not neccessarily good. On Halo 2 you could do crap for 10 games to warm up and just not care, Halo 3s open display of every game makes me feel like I'm never off the hook.Nice job man, I agree with it all.
