I always felt left out because Halo 3 is the first Halo game that I have played. Is it worth it to buy Halo 2?

Yes! I bet you could buy it for like 5 bucks. Halo 2 Has a really fun campaign and Multiplayer. You'll probably get your ass kicked in MM but its still fun.

I'd like to know why I can't see the signatures of others of myself on the forum. I have made favs once, 7777 campaign kills, and I helped bring modders down when they were at their strongest

It's servers are going down in a month so maybe.

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

Lamest. Rumor. Evar.

Even if they were disabling Halo 2 online... go buy it. He's right - the Campaign is great fun.

False, very false.

Buy the game, it is one of the greatest games of all time.

I love playing Campaign but I'm also wondering if people still play Matchmaking? Is it impossible to find a full game like some other older games?

Of course, I own all the Halo Games, honestly I own every single Bungie game released :D

It has a great campaign and multiplayer for it's time and it's part of the story. I don't see how you even considered playing H3 without starting with Halo CE and H2 first.

Get the Vista version instead. The xbox versions strongest card used to be MM but with a tiny online population and long waiting times in certain level-spans it's just not the same anymore. The Vista version has achievements and a custom games search which allows you to jump in to any game. There arent that many players online in the Vista version either and it's not as competitive as real MM with levels etc but you dont have to spend 10 minutes in a lobby in vain . The campaigns are just the same. Oh and you can brag about having played the coolest Halo map ever made, The District.

Also, hahahahahaha. The mythics should know what I'm laughing at....project "Skibur" at it's best.

I've been a regular on Xbox Live for a month, and I hardly ever wait more than 5 minutes for a game. The population is the size of a small college, which can be a good thing.

And does anyone else feel the Halo 2 server rumors are causing some players to return to MM? Lately, I've seen more unfamiliar faces than normal.

I'm playing Halo 2 due to red rings on my 360 XD

Yeah, it is, the matchmaking and campaign are a -blam!- riot, but like someone else already said, most people are -blam!- godly at Matchmaking now, haha.

Campaign alone = buy. Whatever happens with Live, 2's campaign is the gold standard as far as I'm concerned. Am a virtually campaign-only guy, so, hear me now and believe me later...

There's absolutely no doubts in my mind at all whatsoever that Halo 2 is worth every single penny of it's cost. It's so cheap now, every Halo fan should buy it to be honest.

Absolutely. I'd take it over Halo 3 any day.
