Check out my Gaming Rig on EVGA Mod Rigs.

I enjoy it less only because newer games have more features.

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

Man that time during 2004-2006 Was ABSOLUTLEY the greatest gaming times ever. Halo 2 was kicking in every playlist and customs always going...you could play all -blam!- night.

I play CE and 2, campaign only. Have never played 3 or ODST so cannot compare to them. I really had a blast playing 2 in the beginning, and with the skulls there was alot of exploration and non-gameplay stuff that could be done. After playing it for a year or two, and running that gamut of new things out I found my enjoyment levels dropped alot. I only play legendary, and with certain skull combos, legendary on H2 is almost impossible, and certainly not fun!

I find that I always enjoy playing CE. There are just so many more ways you can approach the game and that flexibility is just not possible in H2. You have to use certain weapons/vehicles at certain times in 2 or you just cannot make it. With CE, with the exception of having to use Banshee's to reach certain areas, you can walk damn near the entire game if you choose to and make certain battles tilted in favor of the enemy and still have a great chance to use strategy to get past them (KILLING THEM OF COURSE!).

I just find a better variety of gameplay in CE on legendary than I do on 2. Typically the disk will go in for a day or two so I can play Outskirts or Delta Halo, and that is it.

I only play halo 3 now, but i have now decided to re-downlaod the map packs for halo 2 and give the greatest halo multiplayer a bash, get pissed off and -blam!- off back to halo 3.

Halo 2 for Life!

Why would you blam! off and go back to halo3? I mean the game play in halo2 is better then halo3 so you most likely will go back and see how good halo2 is compared to halo3 and start playing halo2 on a much more regular basis i would imaging.

Halo 2 for Life!

It might being dieing on XBL but it is not on XBC and i will be playing on XBC and i will still have more fun then i did when it first came out regardless of the new interface i think (as i'm not actually going to play on XBC until XBL goes down although i have an account on XBC called MiniRaeAce no spaces). I'll update latter after XBL is down to tell you guys if i'm still having as much fun as now or when i first played halo2, till then i stand by what i originally said in this thread that i'm still having more fun playing halo2 then when it first came out.

I broke one of the cords for my X11s because I couldn't get past the final American course in Doritos Crash Course.

Its not the same as when it was 'new'. But when I had the first game in ages this week, I had that feeling back for most of the game.

farewell h2

I actually enjoy it more or about the same. After playing Halo 3 for so long I had forgotten how much I enjoyed Halo 2. I can honestly say I have more fun in Halo 2 than Halo 3 besides the wait times.

Halo 3 for PC.

I enjoy Halo 3 more, mainly because of more features.
I don't like Halo 2, because it didn't include Online co-op, but I still enjoyed the mods.

Halo 2 for Life!

My least favorite is the modding in halo2. I dis-liked the campaign and multiplayer in halo3 as i thought it was worse then halo2 (so the online co-op didn't appeal to me). The "new" features in halo3 weren't really "new" (others had done them and did them better i.e. the flame thrower, shielding, forge, recording game play, ect). Halo2 did things better then any other game and it's quality still stands up to days standards in game play and almost all aspects of the gaming experience (it's fun level was high and has gotten higher with time for me). The only thing halo2 doesn't have is new graphics and some"new" features (which i think detracted from game play in halo3) but graphics are just different paints on the game play vehicle. This makes game play the driving force behind if i'm having fun or not (and ultimately whether i play the game or dont play the game).

Halo 2 for Life!

Are you talking in slang, because what is a "SHAWTS REGISTAR!", but i do agree the br isn't stupid in halo2, in halo3 it wasn't as good.

only eat one small snack a week to save money on food and just have water toilet and lights to save money thats my plan

Though the Earth is dying we must enrich her body, for the ground we tread is hφly.

I'm a lion in a world where everybody's content with being cats.

It's a different kind of enjoyment, really.

Back then Halo 2 was something I did, now it's a part of me. I use to get enjoyment from experiencing it, not I get it from remembering those experiences...do you understand?

  • 02.16.2010 11:02 PM PDT

Halo 2 for Life!

Yes, the memories are good but the current gaming is as good or better then those memories for me.

  • 02.16.2010 11:24 PM PDT

Leave no one behind

Halo 2 will always be like an epic to me. The part where your going over the brige with the take is just amazing... Halo 2 should be remade along with halo CE with Reach like aweness

Less.

Customs are a lot different now.

  • 02.17.2010 10:41 AM PDT

Halo 2 for Life!

When you say that the customs are different now do you mean different good or bad (Judging from your first word i would guess bad). Also i think customs haven't changed for me at all still playing zombies and tower of power, mlg, and actually there have recently been some innovation in game types I've noticed (people know what they and others like and those are the games played, not as much experimenting with bad game types). So i enjoy customs more now then before. Also (although i dont like them) people doing mods have become much more advanced and creative with there mods (i.e. destruction derby, Donkey Kong, ect).

Elites FTW!!! Halo Reach > Halo 2 > Halo 3 > ODST.

Well i used to play Halo 2 religiously almost everyday, but now I just play it for the novelty of it just to reflect on old memories had.

deffinatly gunna miss it...

Halo 2 for Life!

How can you "enjoy it less (halo2) because newer games have more features" i mean you should enjoy the simplicity of a well made game over a game that has quantity over quality in my opinion (especially since the "new" features are similar to features you have already seen for the most part). Also i will say it again that game play is more important (in my opinion) over features and graphics any day.
