halo 3 much better

denied. halo3 is 3rd for good reason. halo2 iz xbl. halo1 iz g.o.a.t. lets hope they never shut down h2. h2 kept alot of gamers from getting ps3. and when i get tired of hd garbage i cross my fingers and search h2 btb playlist. then i get impatient and switch to ts. regardless h3 multiplayer has its perks but to me its h2 jr. i would love to see a update for halo2 controls i.e. bumperjumper and the like, as i cant play halo 2 w/o playing halo 3, if u catch my drift.

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

Halo 2 changed online gaming forever. It was the greatest experience ever, especially 2004-2006. Cheers for H2.

Halo 2 is not going anywhere anytime soon. Thank god the rumor about halo 2 shutting down was false. Even still I raise my glass to halo 2 for all the good memories it gave me. May it continue living long and give good memories to the people who still play it.

yes, thank god. Long live halo 2!!

Huzzah! Even though I've only played one match-made game of Halo 2, and it sucked. But I played many a custom game with my friends, and the campaign was amazing.

Halo 2 for Life!

Let you (your life well playing halo2) live on threw this thread lol.

I find Halo 2 to be more solid (no bullet spread and decent melee system, etc...) than Halo 3, not to mention more fair in terms of ranking system, there were no bad 50's back then.

HALO 2 FTW

Halo 2 > Halo 3

I remember those countless hours of tower of power, hog wars, cat and mouse, super bouncing, hide and seek, and zombies on foundation. Those were the days.

Halo 2 was the best game for the Xbox and Xbox 360. :D

Halo 2, the first online game i ever played. It was the best game i ever played, i didnt even have an internet connection at the time i used to just go round my relatives every other weekend and steal thier internet, just so i could play some customs with my friends from school. I never had that much fun when i was playing halo 3 thats for sure, even though halo 3 dominated my life for a looooooooooooong time.

halo 2, FTW.

The first time I played a halo game was halo 2 with my friend. He didnt have xbl, but we had ownage with the campaign. The story was great, graphics (for then), and theres just that feel to it that halo 3 doesnt have.

Long live halo 2, its a masterpeice

  • 02.04.2010 6:13 PM PDT

I grew up in my basement playing Halo 1 and 2. I was in my tweens when halo 2 came out. Now im 18 and i look back and think of my 7,500+ halo 2 multiplayer games and smile.

  • 02.04.2010 11:01 PM PDT

Amen.. No game will ever be better. Ever.

:( ....Well I'm gonna make my clan have a five day Halo 2-a-thon. This is clearly a violation of the communities entertainment! Well We better breathe it in before it flies past our heads...As OP said a toast for the Game that changed multiplayer history!

Here is a few tidbits for anyone who loves to hear how great Halo 2 still is.



The first official release of Halo 2 was in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United States on November 9, 2004. Anticipation for the game was high; three weeks before this release, a record 1.5 million copies had already been pre-ordered. Massive lines formed at midnight releases of the game; the event garnered significant media attention.

The game sold 2.4 million copies and earned up to US$125 million in its first 24 hours on store shelves, thus out-grossing the film Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest as the highest grossing release in entertainment history.

Halo 2 is the best-selling first-generation Xbox game with 8.46 million copies sold by November 2008.

"The Province's Paul Chapman listed the game as one of the most important of the decade, writing that games like Modern Warfare 2 would not be as enjoyable to play if not for the ground Halo 2 broke."

"From the day of its initial release and up until mid-November 2006, Halo 2 was the most popular video game on Xbox Live, even after the release of the Xbox 360; its position was eventually surpassed in 2006 by the 360-exclusive Gears of War. Halo and Halo 2 are still some of the most played games for the Xbox console."

Television channel G4 listed the release of Halo 2 as one of the game industry's biggest turning points during the 2000s, and helping to define how gamers played for years to come.

"Bungie's sequel was a shot in the arm for Xbox Live subscriptions and previewed many of the features that would set the standard for Microsoft's online service on the next machine," author Sterling McGarvey wrote

The editors of Popular Mechanics listed Halo 2 as one of the top fifteen events of the decade, crediting the game's multiplayer with bringing online multiplayer to the console masses.




My opinion? I think the world of gaming changed when Halo 2 was boldly released. It was, "Yo, let's play Halo." before it was "Yo, let's go play some card games." This is why Halo is the game to play. All these other games nowadays wouldn't be the games they are now if not for Halo. I think Halo Reach will take it to the next level. It's been almost 3 years since Halo 3, every single game of the trilogy has been ground breaking. Let's see what Bungie has in store for us with their final game that'll seal 10 years of Halo.

I will miss Halo 2 greatly. Those were my golden years of gaming. Everything I know about online gaming and Halo strategy evolved from Halo 2.

The multiplayer level design was excellent. I will miss it all. I suggest everyone hear play the hell out of Halo 2 before XBL is disconnected from it.

We should rouse the community for some all night Halo 2 fests/humpdays.

P.S. I'm changing my B.net avatar to remember Halo 2 until it goes dark.

Halo 2 was amazing much better than that Turd Halo 3. It will be missed.

Halo 2 is probably Bungie's best accident. So many awesome and fun levels and glitches. Halo CE is my fav, but Halo 2 will always be next in line it was like my first online xbox game.
