I spoke to God today. He said trust in Him. All others pay cash

I think we will be able to tell better when we actually get to play reach.I mean i kinda have worries about the new color scheme but for themost part it is exactly the same. The sizes have been adjusted to compensate for the differences in sizes of spartans but otherwise its the same

Halo 2 for Life!

I would really like to rage about Hreach being worse then H2, but instead I will stay on topic.


I found the maps to not compare well other than format.

Other features also disappointed me (the black rocks, and negative type settings I disliked).

I'll come up with some more at a later date, but I could really tell the differences by comparing the two side by side. That is the best way to analysis them I think.

The original from Halo 2 was the much better compared to this new remake. The black rocks, green trees, and the roomy-ness of it is terrible. It seems more like a map that has some similarities than a complete remake.

The level geometry is exactly the same. If you play a no armor abilities and slightly faster movement speed gametype it will play basically the same minus dual wielding.

RC Clone,

No, it's not exactly the same (in terms of geometry), the areas on either side of lift where made wider (other areas i'm not sure about but those areas are defiantly wider).

For comparison check reflection video:

at 3:18

vs.

Ivory Tower:

at 0:36

Exactly. I also believe that some areas are taller to. Like where you land from the air lift.

Halo 2 for Life!

Yeah, the more times I look at this map the greater amount of differences I find.

I see what your talking about, I saw areas that seem to be higher than the original i.e. the middle area I think also it's wider in many more spots than the one I noticed earlier.

I'll give a more in-depth analysis in a few days but right now that's all. If you guys see any difference make sure to post, so we can all talk about them.

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

It looks like a damn good remake to me, but I'd have to actually play on the map to decide.

This forum sucks.

I think that will be awesome.

  • 08.18.2010 3:04 AM PDT

Good remake.

NO!















it is an AWESOME remake.

Halo 2 for Life!

started looking at it again, look shortly after 0:36 that is like 2 times wider than the H2 version. Same area in H2 video 2:33


Also, please analysis or critique others points on their analysis . Dont just say, "it's good", "it's bad".

That sorta conversation brings little to the table in this thread and I almost dont want you to post if that is all you will saying . Thx. for commenting though.

No need to analyze when my simple opinion is just simply "it's awesome" nothing else is really needed. Sorry but no need to into a wall of text about it.

Halo 2 for Life!

Yes, I understand but if you have a point that it's awesome say one reason why it's awesome (or more) i.e. if you like the rock formation in the middle (I didn't) or you like wider corridors (which i didn't) ect. Thx. for commenting though.

Yeah, Elites did look cooler in H2 compared to other halo games to me also.

Pioneer and Enthusiast for Halo 3.

I've always voted anything that had to do with Halo 2. Always. It seems like the new Halo Reach colors, textures, sounds of the new remake is just amazing. I love it.

We are oppisite, when it comes to the new map. I think we can agree that the H2 version was amazing.

Is anyone else suprised in how many people think reflections is a good remake?

Yeah, Hitboxing = fail. For example, a certan user from the maw who has never played Halo 2 Xbox online links to this halo 2 bash video (its much less exreme in acutial gameplay) which shows hitboxing, but it also exists in halo 3, which also has unbalanced weps and n00b armor (recon).

Yeah, a crappy map is still crappy. Reflection just exposes the flaws in AAs even more.

I like that it's pretty close to the original, but the original is much better.
