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

Well, it is official. Tomorrow my best friend and I will be having a Halo 2 1v1 night!

System Link works with any mix of Original Xbox and Xbox 360 consoles...but will I have any advantage because I am using the Original Xbox? Just wondering...Because he says that I will...He is bringing over his 360 and we are going to System Link it up. Hell yeah.

The 360 has Backward Compatibility, so there will be no advantage even if I have the Orignial Xbox...right?

When you are in a game with 360 and original xbox players, the original xbox players are always given the advantage: their shields regenerate faster, they always win when 2 people melee at the same time, and rocket launchers are more inclined to spawn around them than the 360 players. Also they get overshields and swords on lockout and gemini and sniper rifles on every other map.

So no, to my knowledge there is no advantage in playing on an original xbox vs. a 360.

There are graphical glitches on Backwash on the 360, so avoid that map if you can. Other than that, it should be a fair fight.
