I got so sick of Halo 3 I decided to find another copy of Halo 2 and Halo CE, it took an ad on Craigslist but I eventually got them and all the fun and excitement came rushing back to me just like in the old days. These two games are infinitely more fun than Halo 3 and now I know why I liked them so much compared to the failsauce that is Halo 3.

I went and played a few matches on Halo 2 after about 2 years of not playing and even though I sucked because I hadn't played for so long not once did I get frustrated or angry, I just can't help but enjoy it. All Halo 3 ever made me want to do was snap my disc in half and pop it in the microwave. I'd get more fun out of it that way.

Halo 2 for Life!

Yeah in halo3 there is very little communication, and the quality of the maps isn't as good as H2 so i can see where your coming from.

It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.

Cheeto is the only one among you that doesn't suck.

Halo 3 is pretty awesome, but the play style is so radically different from Halo 2, it's almost like playing a new series. I miss the feel of Halo 2.

Yeah whatever happened to the creativity when it came to MP maps? NONE of the new Halo 3 maps have really sparked any excitement compared to when the new Halo 2 maps came out. I was flabbergasted when people were buying Halo Wars just to play on the Mythic H3 maps, there's 2-3 good ones but those are remakes from Halo 2 or CE and the rest are just god awful to play on.

the gameplay on both games differ.
Halo 2 has still kept competitive players.
Halo 3 has been tweaked to be more fun for all levels of players.

everyone has an opinion based on what they like.

I like Halo 2 for its Campaign, and Mods...
I like Halo 3 for its Co-op mode(s) and Forge.

Halo 2 had a good campaign, multiplayer maps, general weapon settings "no recoil from human sniper, etc", superbounces and other glitches.

So your saying glitches make a game good?And recoil from the sniper is just making it more realistic.

Glitches have always been a controversial thing, but ultimately, while ruining the experience for some, it actually enhanced halo 2, according to several people.

As for sniper recoil, why would we need the weapons to be realistic? If anything, halo 1 & 2 were more realistic, considering it was a futuristic sci fi game.

If toning down campaign enemies, severly upping melee power, and toning down weapons with "recoil" and any other mechanics makes a game "realistic", then I disagree on adding realism to a game, as it takes away the fun factor that made the roots of the Halo franchise.

While some logic is needed to keep a game sensible, Good/Fun Gameplay > Logic/Realism.

The best defense is a good one.

from my view the only thing halo 3 is lacking in blood gulch (valhalla does not count)
eathan: realism doesent always make a game good in fact its comepleatly an opinion if it does or not (that basicly contridicts every thing i said before that) oh well :)

RIP Halo 2

Those two games make me more nostalgic than anything else.

Yeah, I'll always try to have a copy of each, whether I use them or not. They are like good books in a personal library, why would you ever toss a classic out?

Also; RTH, it's good to see you drop by and post.

  • 10.18.2009 1:56 AM PDT
