Subject: Honestly, I think Halo 2 was the best game of the three....

For those who understood the plot and knew exactly what was going on, i think Halo 2 had the most dramatic and exciting plot, Earth was invaded, the Covenant experienced the betrayal of the prophets against the Elites (who were the original founders of the Covenant alongside the prophets), the existence of another Halo ring was verified (the characters in the game had no idea another existed) We encountered a main prophet and got to KILL him, we learned about the gravemind (INTELLIGENT flood!)and the cliffhanger ending was incredibly exciting (just because it pissed us off back then cause we had to wait 3 years to see the conclusion doesnt mean it was a bad moment...."Sir...finishing this fight" is a quote that will live with me forever) i really feel bad for Bungie because of the criticism they received because i think Halo 2 was pure genius, and lets not forget the multiplayer (which apart from the modding cheaters made my LIFE when it comes to video games) So I just wanna say THANK YOU BUNGIE! who else is with me?

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Only the campaign is epic, Halo 3 owns multilayer until reach owns it.

I can understand that....alot of the fun I had with Halo 2's MP came before I got a license, and a gf, and a real life haha, so i didn't enjoy Halo 3's as much cause I was always occupied

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.

Out of the first 3 games, halo 2 had the best campaign, then halo combat evolved and then halo 3. The campaign set those games apart, and in halo 3 it seems that they rushed the campaign too much while in halo 2 they took their time to craft a rich storyline/campaign experience.

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

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

LOL! Halo 3's Multiplayer gameplay and Multiplayer experience didn't even touch what Halo 2 had to offer, it's not even close.

  • 12.22.2009 10:14 PM PDT

I would have to agree i find myself playing halo2 more often than halo3.i beat halo3 alot faster than halo2.

  • 12.23.2009 6:01 AM PDT

Halo 2 lives on.

In my mind Halo 2 will be the best MP game I have ever played... Even with MW2 and Halo 3 out I still don't think they offer just as much as Halo 2 did. If you think about it, Halo 2 basically made what xbox live is today.

Halo 2 did have a pretty cool campaign, Halo 3's multiplayer in my opinion is better than Halo2.

I agree 100%. I also enjoyed Killing the brute leader, and the Profit in campaign.

If i woke up looking like that, i would just run to the nearest living thing, and kill it.

I dont think its too hard, i think its just right. i love halo 2, its legendary make me not take halo 3's legendary seriously. I especially miss those crazy jackals. they never miss, and its one shot one kill. the ones in halo 3 miss alot and rarely get headshots. i guess regret was totin' the jackal's sniper elite in his crew. I just thought it was funny you mentioned them.

Xbox v1.3 - Xecuter 3 - X3 3294 - XBMC
Halo3 Xbox360 - Homebrew anyone?

I don't believe Halo2 was "bad" but it was incomplete. It lacked several game elements that Halo started with.

What I think may have hurt the Bungie team more than upset fans was their own sense of disappointment. They had the power to make a great game, but blew it with deadlines. They dreamed big, but they set their own limitations.

This is why I admire Blizzard and Valve, those teams take their time and ignore the call for release dates. Fans (and publishers) can complain all they want but it is always worth it in the end.

I've never played any of the campaigns I got into Halo 2 for the multiplayer and I still go back and play it now. I can't stand playing Halo 3 because of the terrible maps and the bubble shield and all that garbage. The only reason I have 3 is because I got it brand new for $8.

  • 12.29.2009 12:25 PM PDT

They call me the Polish Ninja.

Minus the graphical differences, Halo 2 was so much of a better game then Halo 3. Halo 2 never gets old to me, and like the above poster, I still go back and play Halo 2 campaign.

Posting on bungie.net should require that the user has had to have read a chapter book all the way through.

As if you know me at ALL you know I think Halo 1 is the best, I did enjoy Halo 2 a LOT and like it MUCH better then Halo 3.

  • 01.01.2010 1:16 AM PDT

Halo 2 was my favorite also. The campaign in number 3 just seemed like all you did was kill brutes, I didn't even wanna finish it I only did for the gamerscore.

Online multiplayer was better too because there wasn't "to many" over-powered 1 hit kill weapons which removed the purpose of a rechargable shield.

THE SOUNDS EFFECTS were sadly also better in halo 2 than in halo 3.

The warthog was easier to drive in h2.

Spawn killing isn't as common in Halo 2 and by that I mean if you kill somone there whole team including the person you just killed won't spawn 10 feet away.

I can name a whole list of reasons why H2 is better than H3, I just wish bungie would put some support to H2's online play, theres a big bug when trying to find a game. It gets to step 3 then the game resets the search with only one person. "you"

Every time i see a "which is better" post i always see some good structureed points to why halo 2 is better. but i never see that from the Halo 3 defenders except that "the graphics are better". No one has a good defence to back up Halo 3. thats my opinion at least.

Halo 2 was truly amazing... halo 3 didn't even come near too being a better game than halo 2...

Halo 1 owns all

Halo 2 was my favorite only because of the epic LAN party moments I had experienced from it.

The most memorable part of Halo 2 I remember was at a LAN slumber party with five other friends. It was on battle creak, an insane juggernaut game type, and I was the new guy with duel needlers. I remember practically spinning around in random circles shooting and surprisingly gunning down all those who opposed me; I was not even the juggernaut! After the match, (when everyone else forfeited,) the duel Needler combination was named after me and I felt really damn good about it too!

Please, do NOT flame this or what not. I give you my "cool story" for times sake. A rare treat coming from me.

What if you miss? I won't.

not to turn this into a h2 h3 multiplayer debate but halo 3 has the worst matchmaking i have ever seen with my own eyes.

that was because halo 3 was obviously only like for it's ridiculous matchmaking and graphics. Hence, made it only good for the first year or two.
