lol it's actually kind of interesting, but if you post this same topic in the Halo 3 forums, the people who reply will all say that Halo 3 is better. When this topic is in the Halo 2 forums like right now, almost everyone says Halo 2 is better. Very interesting...

blarg.

I like them both. But can people just stop posting these threads? You like the game, that's great,other people like it to. leave the threads for discussing Halo 2, not asking who likes Halo 2

Anybody that picks Halo 2 is obviously just a cheater that used every kind of glitch known to Halo 2 to win. Same thing goes with people that like Halo 2's battle rifle over Halo 3's, it's only because they can't win without using all the cheating glitches of the weapon.

Have never played H-2 online, but the campaign offered the kind of lengthy and varied challenges H-3 just doesn't seem to have. Far more quick kills and shortcuts in 3. (An awesome game that's superior to all other games without "Halo" in the title.)

Halo 2, 1,000 % of the way.
All my friends, though, prefer Halo 3 instead of Halo 2 just simply because they didn't play it when it was in its prime. They all have played Halo 2, but don't know anything about it, like BR glitches and Super Bounces. Just saying because no one ever plays Halo 2 matchmaking anymore and none of my friends want to play, so I just play Halo 3.
Does anyone wanna play right now (: send me a message

Your just saying that because you could never get used to the glitches and everyone pwned you. I'm against all the modding, standbying, and bridging host but the weapon glitches were awesome.

Halo 3 is a lot better because it has more features and it is essentially cheat proof unlike Halo 2. And what's the point of getting used to glitches? How about no glitches at all in the first place? That's much better. Halo 3 has very few glitches in matchmaking and doesn't lag as bad as Halo 2.

I find it interesting that some people in this forum who say that Halo 2 is better than Halo 3, don't even have Halo 3 to begin with.

Halo 2 MM is basically the same as Halo 3 except Halo 3 MM has like 50 times more options and is a lot faster and more efficient.

If you cheat, you lose. It's that simple. Button glitching IS cheating. Once you cheat, you have automatically lost and I have automatically won. The fact that somebody has to CHEAT in-order to beat me just shows how much better I am. If the other player thought he could beat me without cheating, he would play without cheating.

You're assuming we believe you when you say that the only time you lose is to cheaters. Your rhetoric and dogma on this subject is getting old. How can we take you seriously when you make such outlandish assertions. Say it out loud "I never lose unless I'm cheated." Then you continue with that thought ad nauseam. Join us or leave us, please. Put your GT up there and play somebody that's good, I would like to see if you ever lose without calling out "cheater."

By the way, there's some good players around here, make no mistake about that.

Does anyone even read these?

Halo 3 is more flexible when playing with friends, the gameplay however, I prefer Halo 2.

EVERYBODY who was any good knew how to do the glitches perfectly, so all it did was make the game faster paced. It meant you couldn't do nooby things like SMG rush a guy with a BR, and that the sword wouldn't beat a Level 50 with a BR/Snipe.

All the button glitches do is stop noobs from getting lucky ass kills on good players, which seems to be 99% of my deaths in social slayer, when noobs just mindlessly charge me with the AR, and if he shot first I have no defence against it.

I prefer Halo 2, if only because it actually had good maps. Coagulation, Headlong, Waterworks, etc, all great.

Hmm. I don't know. I have played Halo 2 and watch Halo 3 videos. Somewhere in my heart, I feel that Halo 2's campaign is much better. Don't know why. Maybe because of the storyline and gameplay?

Watching Halo 3 videos is one thing. But actually playing it is another.

A whole game based on killing brutes? What a joke

Yes, I'm the guy who had the Flood admit to being furries.

I'm gonna be a rebel of the thread and say Halo 3. I don't know, there are some obvious improvements over Halo 2. The whole beat down thing is different. Its more high powered, but its harder to do as the lunge isn't as long. Starting weapon(assault rifle) you can actually use to defend yourself, unlike the SMG which is a good weapon, but fails as a starting weapon as its range prevents it from useful when people grab the Battle Rifles and other mid to long range guns.

Halo 2 had some things I miss as well though too, the Spectre in particular. The Campaign had very memorable locations. Some of the best missions I've played. They were just, vast. Regret, for example. Same with Quarantine Zone and Uprising/Great Journey. Going invis with the Arbiter was really fun and changed thigns around a bit.

On another note, it's weird, when Halo 2 was in its heyday, there was always a bunch of people who bashed well, everything about it and proclaiming Halo 1 is better in everyway. Same thing is happening with Halo 3 and Halo 2. It almost seems like a fad to hate the newer thing and stick with the older one. Same thign will happen with ODST and Halo 3 and Reach. Therefore, I'm a fan of the whole series, they all have their own traits that make each game its own experience. I cannot pick one over another or bash another so fully.

IMO H2 is a piece of garbage compared to halo 3 and even CE
