Halo 2 for Life!

I will post the best suggestions in this area but to get started:

-fewer game types, get rid of team skirmish no one plays it.
-bring back big team ranked.
-make a new play list for 10 on 10 called "Super Big Team".
-get a new map pack.

While I would like H2 to be updated I wish it would have been around the time they releases Tombstone & Desolation.

An update now is not going to happen, and the idea of you asking for new maps & 10 vs. 10 I read as a joke.

As the game is 16 players only...

the MOST key thing there is make big team battle ranked and bring swat ranked as well. SO many people play btb and swat as opposed to slayer, so annoying. might as well maked it ranked. also a new map pack is a must.

  • 09.01.2009 12:32 PM PDT

Maybe alot of people play it because it is NOT ranked?
I know I like to play just for fun.
And if I have guests, well; then unranked is the ONLY way to go.

So, if they made BTB and SWAT ranked; less people would play it; and play something else that is UNRANKED.

:p

4th one of those won't happen. Third one of those CAN'T happen and the second one is contradictory to the first one

1st: Needs to be done
2nd: contradictory to the first one
3rd: Can't happen
4th one of those won't happen.

As for number one take a glance at my thread about it. Thread It's dead now but still.

Your 100% right. Many people play BTB because it's not ranked.

Halo 2 for Life!

The best matches i have had in halo 2 is when they are ranked and people actually cared about if they won or lost. There is always somthing holding back unranked big team i.e. people quit or stop trying and could care less if the other team scores a flag or not as long as there having fun.

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

Have more players playing so that you'll find matches faster.

Yes but to get more players you need an update and that is why i made this topic, so people could say what they would like in a potential update in halo2.

  • 09.04.2009 1:31 PM PDT

Always check if theres bog roll first

If only there was someone at bungie who still cared about the Halo 2 community.
I'm pretty certain there will never be another update.
I mean, think how long its been and "H2 Challenge" is still up.

The only change there will be is when bungie shuts it off :(

Add me to the list! I created an account just so I can post in this thread.

I would love to see an update to the Halo 2 matchmaking lists. A condensed list with more Tombstone and Desolation, especially in BTB. I always felt those maps didn't get much of a chance since Halo 3 came out a few months later.

Impossible, unfortunately. 16 players is the most you can have at one time in a game, which makes 8 versus 8 the biggest possible BTB game.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

Penalize quitters, its annoying on a TS game or BTB when youre whole freaking team quits...because they are LOSING!
And then you dont want to quit when you lose, as you lose EXP.

And 16 players is a Halo 2 Limitation, I have a different game that has 32 player MP online with original xbox live.

Get rid of all button-glitches and superbounces. That would automatically get rid of 99% of the crappy userbase.

Bungie already stated it would be impossible to remove button glitches, (they stated that because these button glitches were a part of the game, removing them, would release more bugs into the game)

As for Superbouncing, sadly, nothing can be done about them, giving its part of system of the game engine. (you can research this yourself, I don't have the time to do it for you)

However, I think in halo 3, bungie was a little more careful of programming the capablility to counter any button glitches in that game, without making any bugs in the system.

Halo 2 for Life!

Nothing is impossible! :)

  • 09.19.2009 12:10 AM PDT

The only real thing that lets H2 down is the host advantage,if this could have been managed better it would have madethe game literally perfect in my eyes, the way the game plays cant be faulted.
Bungie has moved on from H2 no more map packs updates ect they are all about odst and reach which is fair enough.

  • 09.20.2009 5:31 AM PDT

Halo 2 for Life!

I like host advantage, it causes the people that aren't host to come up with ways of defeating "host", this makes each game different depending on the lag then the next, and the challenges even more diverse for the player.

On your other point, nothing is impossible, if there is a up swell of people wanting halo2 maps, they are capable of creating new maps for halo2.

Everyone is entitled to their own wrong opinion.


I'm part of the Bungie.net Minecraft group/server called SeptaCrafters
We're a Bungie.net group that goes to our very own Bungie server. Most players are from the Halo community either off Bungie itself or through word to Halo friends.

Bungie updating Halo2 would be like them updating Halo CE after Halo2 came out.

Halo2 is the best of them, i play halo3 because im minus one controller. I had a Halo edition controller and its the best ype of xbox controller to have and now i can't play cause it broke!
Why did it break?!?! cause my mom used it!!! rawr!!

anyway,

Long Live Halo 2

Maybe you have forgotten that Halo 2 is a game of the past. Bungie won't update it because it's old. Instead, they're focused on way more important things, such as Halo Reach.

  • 09.24.2009 10:13 PM PDT

Halo 2 for Life!

Halo 2 is not a game of the past, alot of people still play it. If no one played it now then you could say it's a thing of the past but presently it has a strong following.
