Subject: Why was Halo 2 such a better game then Halo 3 and ODST?

Recon STINKS!!! >:[

I mean, I still remember playing campaign with my friends and just having a good time killing, exploring, and betraying. Halo 2's campaign felt like it was longer and just awsomer than Halo 3's, and its soundtrack is even more incredible than H3's! Right!!!

Non Nobis Nascimur - We are not born for ourselves.

Less barriers and restrictions in Campaign and more (fun) glitches.

-Duel Needlers


That's all I'll ever need.

There was just something about that game. I hope Reach recaptures that feeling from Halo 2. I missed out on the online multiplayer for the most part. What I did get to play was pretty enjoyable. The campaign was my favorite though. So involved. You really had to pay attention to get it.

I honestly could not have put it better myself, but I don't think "challenging" is the right word for Legendary... How about, nigh-impossible?

H2 Legendary was much more difficult than CE for me.

RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

Halo 2 had the ability to be able to play, and play, and play, with out getting bored.

The multiplayer was so much fun, I'm still yet to experience a better multiplayer.

The campaign was far more complex, diverse, and told the best story.

I could make a list forever if I really wanted, but I don't see the point. Halo 2 is one of the best games of all time, that's all there is to it. :)

Idk about HALO2 campain but,

the mutliplayer of the game was of something never seen before it

in what game before that could you just socialize, mess around, or whatever & still have a blast.

& not to sound to nerdy but its the first game that i could make real friends through

its mutliplayer is what really built up the bungie community that make up these forums

not to metion the creation of origional user games like zombies, power tower, mafia..

also not to mention the countless hours you and your friends could spend glitching

its like joe said, HALO2 has the ability to be played and played and played and played and played and played without getting dull

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.

Lock-on Rocket Launcher for the win! The epic Spectre! The Brute Plasma Rifle...

To me, the Multiplayer experience had a lot to do with it. Every map was awesome to play on. Getting your friends all together to play online was new, fresh and very exciting at the time.

The Spartan movement and jumping...everything just felt right. When making the switch to H3, it felt like my Spartan was on the moon lol.

Halo 2, to me, had the best Melee System out of all the games. And I liked how you didn't have to lead your shots lol.

Halo 2 was the best Halo game
A7x FoREVer!

The freedom to go where ever you wanted. It also was the only good game to play on Xbox Live at the time. But most of all its the memories that make it special.

Just a chick who likes Halo and all that crap. I like Minecraft, AC, and L4D too.

1. the campain kept me thinking. wye would the eletes be betrayed, wye were the brutes promoted. I loved the challenge. an army of brutes, and eletes fighting me while still fighting eatchother. plus 4 hunters. also the intense sound-track.

2. the multyplayer. Almost every map had all elements of fighting. their where closed in areas. sky/high areas to sneak around the enymey, large vehicalbaddle areas, sniping locatotions an more. their were things halo 3 had that halo 2 didn't but halo 2 had so mutch more. its live will be missed

  • 07.17.2010 2:43 PM PDT

For me it was just how the game worked,and im not talking about frame rates or anything just the way the look sensitivity was bang on the movement speed was so good.

You did feel in total control of your character and any slight adjustment to a jump or your aim was possible.

Also the hit detection was second to none,i remember videos being posted on youtube of people being headshotted with a snipe and walking it off,it just didnt happen! you got sniped you died thats it, where as now EVERY game since this is just par for the course.

hitmarker anyone? LOL

It was easier to aim because there was a lot of aim assist but playing it on Legendary was super hard - prophet takes as many punches as three tanks to destroy - pretty impressive for a limp, frail, and old alien.

It's a metaphor for the 07s' lack of identity. too old to be newfa­g, yet too new to be oldfa­g, we wander b.net in search of a home, forever trying to be something we are not.

Halo 2 legendary was so ridiculous because of the amount of Flood levels. There were literally 3 missions without them then for the rest of the game you were fighting the most difficult and terrifying enemy in the game.

Good posts but the Scorpion fires about every 2 seconds in Campaign. Maybe it's different on MP.

Ah yes, the scorpion tank. Man oh man I cannot believe I left that out! In Halo 2, the tank was beast. Better than all other Halo games out thus far. Yes by the way, it was considerably faster, more accurate, and stronger in H2 and had the same effect throughout the game including matchmaking. Bungie, you made the best game, and for that we thank you. -CM
