This is just my opinion on online gaming between Halo 2 and Halo 3. I have more memorable moments playing Halo 2 online then if I played Halo 3 online. Halo 2 was more balanced and there wasn't as many ways to die in one shot. For example, Halo 2 had only 4 ways to die instantly: shotgun, sword, rocket, sniper. Now in Halo 3 you can die instantly in 8 ways: shotgun, sword, rocket, sniper, missile pod, fuel rod, spartan laser, brute shotgun thingy that you can duel wield.
I think when the game is more challenging to kill someone, such as Halo 2, it makes for a more fun gaming experience. I remember getting home from school and playing Halo 2 online was the first thing I did. I got a Xbox 360 and played Halo 3 online a lot but didn't get the same experience of awesomeness and fun playing it. It wasn't as fun as it used to be.
So during this summer I sold my Xbox 360 and went to Craigslist where I bought an original Xbox Halo Edition and enjoy playing Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2 like I used to when I was younger. And am soon going to get Xbox Live again and play Halo 2 online.
That is just my experience of what I think of Halo 2 and Halo 3 playing online.
