Video games are my favourite video games.

Sadly while we all have nostalgia there and such Halo 3 gameplay wise is indeed a better game. More consistency and the beatdowns actually work instead of wacky stuff going on.
While yes this does cause randomness and a lot of lol moments its better if the game is made properly and is more consistent.
Plus Halo 3 is more balanced =/. In Halo 3 I can at least somewhat put up a fight with another weapon to the BR. In Halo 2 you can't do anything and the needler is damn near useless.
I hate to rag on it and don't get me wrong I LOVED the game and still do for all the fond memories however that doesn't mean I'm going to say it is a better game overall because obviously its not.The unbalanced, inconsistent hilarity of Halo 2 is precise why people feel it's a better game. Halo 3 bores BECAUSE of its consistency- you'll seldom have one of those "what the fark?!" experiences where you obliterate a heavily-armed opponent with just a plasma rifle. The consistency is suitable for hypercompetitive players, but wasn't MLG created for consistent Halo gameplay?
I'm fond of both, but Halo 3 is very slow and dull in comparison to its predecessor. Something funny/cool/random happens in just about every game of Halo 2, which is why it's such a fun experience.
