Halo 2 for Life!

The interactions in halo2 are better then any game i think ever made and the play dynamics as well.

style = player movements, firing and killing style balances, cool simple symbols (no pirates is a plus).

interactions = rag doll death sequences, bullet to shield, bullet to unshielded, fusion cores, break away concrete, ect.

play dynamics = squad based team games with advantage given to strategy and leaders able to maneuver threw teams taking out vital spots, use weaponry effectively (to the right person on the team) and implement a strategy. Proper use of vehicles in different situations and different time intervals during the game. Being able to play with different types of players and know how to work with them to achieve a win.

Together it made a experience like no other and hasn't been matched since. Some are not exclusive to halo2 but halo2 did them all the best.

There are many others (things that made halo2 the best game in history) if you know them list them on this thread please :).

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

Posted by: totallymassive rag doll death sequences Ah yeah. Sometimes too your body will go through the map and just go crazy into the darkness. I loved the aftermath of the death!

For me, I just think Halo 2 is the most balanced FPS when looking at gameplay. Perfect weapons, two types of grenades, only two power-ups...just good balanced destruction.

I also think the speed of the game which everybody plays at is dead on. The way you move and jump with your spartan just feels so smooth and right, unlike the movements in the other games.

Ah, the beautiful Melee System. Hands down the best melee system ever in any FPS I think. Trying to out "BxB" your opponent in a melee battle was something special in a more advanced fist fight.

There are so many things, but the last one is the Multiplayer Maps. These maps are desgined so greatly, you can take all of the Halo 2 Maps and put them into any other FPS game and it will make that game a lot better.

Cheers.
