Halo 2 was a dissapointment because it didn't feel like Halo 1 and it did not live up to the epic feel of the E3 2003 demo.

First, learn how to write kid and try defending your statements! You obviously have never played Halo 1 and you have never seen the Halo 2 E3 2003 demo or advertisment ads.

don't get me wrong, Halo 1 is a great game. but Halo 2 kicks it's ass. the wepons rock, the story rocks, the vehicels rock. Halo 2 just blows it away.

have you ever remember the e3 video of halo 2 in 2003? well?? i have and at that time i thought halo2 WAS going to be just like it and it was going to be similar to halo1's story line...but after months and months of thinking i see halo2 completetly different from halo1.

...if you have ever read the halo books...they are awsome they make me beleve that UNCS is real and the spartan project too. The Halo books blend in with the story line of halo1's campaign. Master Chief is perfect the weaponds are perfect and the story line is awsome, what more could you expect from a game?

Halo2...the first few levels are cool..until you become the heretic! it destroys the whole story line completely. you feel like bungie didnt make the game, like some people took halo 1 a put some weaponds and took out some, it doesnt feel like you were playing like a super human in a super especial suit ready to kick some covie ass!

Why would Master chief go to another halo? I would have expected Master Chaief going to one the inner colonies and defend it.... and then go to high charity or something

Another bad thing for halo2 are the weaponds, I like the old assult rifle in halo 1 and the pistol instead of the magnum..the weponds are so weak too, I dont like them. The marines were cool too with there helmet that had that litle screen.. And yes the enemies.. .sometimes they to are weak and they dont stand a chance you owning them. and why sould i care playing as the heretic?

Master Chief doesnt look any more like the super human with fast reflexes.. like on halo 1. And I still want to see a human space ship going against a covenent destroyer,,,

And a VERY inportant aspect of halo 2 ..the glitches.. you find the every where. on halo 1 theres no glitches to my knowledge.

These are a few things why halo2 is disapointing me every day more, and bungie hope you dont make the same mistake on halo3.

The big dissapointments with H2 are

The Broken Vehicles, An Auto Firing Plasma Canon on a wraith? Yea sure, for the cp players that is.

Misleading, read the back of halo 2 box, it reads
From Halo 2 Box
...they have swept aside all of our defenses and gained a foothold on the most precious prize of all -- Earth...

So, that means that you have to defend earth, NOT FLY TO ANOTHER HALO!

Also, further on it reads
...unexpected allies and a secret so incredible, it will change the galaxy forever

So, whats this secret?. Or are the gamers not to know too?

  • 07.03.2005 8:02 AM PDT

From what I've seen, most people who are disappointed by Halo 2 missed the point entirely about what made Halo so special.

First off, it means that your enemies have gained a foothold on Earth. There is nothing on it that says "...and the Master Chief is going to repel them" or something like that. If I remember correctly, the MC mission (which he would follow until completed or reassigned) was to find the Prophet of Regret. Of course I could be thinking ahead to Delta Halo/Regret...
Second the secret is the Ark. Granted, you don't have much information on it, but that's why it's a secret.

first of all i want to say halo 2 is great. its probobly a top 5. but halo will always be 1 or 2.
in halo you actually feel.....you now like a super soldier. in halo 2 you feel like a normal soldier with a bunch of dumb ass marines that drive around in circles and right at wraiths.
i actually felt scared in halo when you saw the flood for the first times in halo 2 its like a nursery rime. tell me who died in halo2 a bunch of wussie marines....well in halo keyes dies supposidly johnson died(wgich was a great twist) and it doesnt follow the books at all.

What do you mean?

My dissapointments in halo 2 came from the fact that the campaign was meandering and full of trial-and-error, the lack of interesting combat dynamics, and the wierd feel of murdering hoardes of elites. I remember when each one was challenging, now it's more a question of tactics than precision. Another reason was the fact that halo's multiplayer experience was forever changed. What made halo so special was that someone could attack you first, from a much better position, with a more powerful weapon, and you could still win the engagement.

you could charge a base by yourself.

you just can't do that anymore. I'm tired of feeling useless when I spawn, when I run out and get sniped constantly, aching for a weapon that can actually fight back.

I don't know why you liked halo....but

plasma weapons have lost their distinction, and for the lack of a precision spawn weapon individual combat has lost its appeal. The pistol didn't have to come back, no, that wasn't the vital issue, it was more a question of, whether the spawn weapon had enough versatility and utility to make its use remotely interesting.

The Weapons all suck just so Dual Wielding could be put in. The game is too different. I don't think they are really sequels. Thats why I call 2 Unreal Halo Strike.

in the books you go from flying home with a couple of spartans to being the only one on earth, where are the rest????????????? wouldnt that be cool go on a mission with other spartans not marines for once. and what happened to doctor haley or what ever her name was.....you not thats going to be a twist her and what ever spartan she took beating the covenent or something, cause you now she knows something we dont.enough said id rather read the books then actually play halo 2.


the multiplay kicks ass though. three thumbs up, and thats the only thing that makes this game a top 5.

i want someone to play the halo 2 campaine for a month no multiplayer. see if u can do it.
then do the same thing with halo.....a lot easier huh.

I am very dissappointed, and pretty much all fields describe why. But the fact it was designed for younger ages and false advertised sucks.

So, Halo is special because the sequils have the uncanny effect to suck ass?

I am from Mars, that is why I wear red and was issued the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/M variant helmet, was also issued the experimental version of the Camo unit, that is why i have the Recon shoulder. I excel at CQB, hence the CQC shoulder. I have trained extensively with operation of vehicles therefore the armor on my left side is more substantial and the GPS navigator. the ODST chest is because I was embedded with a unit from the 105TH for 7 SpecOP missions, I have a great respect for them

I have palyed Halos Campian to death and and still think its fun but I have played Halo 2 Campain Since the Day it came out and I have to say Halo 2 campian is much more Fun simply becuase it is newer and has Alot more stuff to do, not to mention the storys WAY deeper.

Halo 2 could not deeply follow the books becuase a lot of halo2 fans never bought them.

i was disappointed in Halo2 after i beat it,because Halo:CE is so much more fun.
better weapons harder gameplay,the elites and/or the Flood could kick your *s
But in Halo2,you pwn the enemies,Heretic grunts occasionally put up a fight,because they have needlers,otherwise the only other enemy that is challenging is the Flood,barely.
i mean,in Halo:CE you feel like a bad*ss instead of a soldier in vsually different armor.
Halo:CE makes you feel like a Spartan,Halo2 makes you feel like the enemies are untrained,I mean,the Elites are supposed to be equal to the Spartans,yet,they are crushed.
in Halo:CE it feels like the Elites are more powerful,but they are not,in Halo2 they are less agressive,thus easier to kill.
