Why?

Fast paced. Intense music. Dual wielding SMG's. Battle rifle without bloom. Non-overpowered grenades. 'Nuff said. Discuss.

Halo: Reach sucks, more like Shadowrun 2. I blame Sage.



Link is safe, it's a Vidoc on Halo 2's multiplayer

"I'll tell you right now, if you ever see someone called ll wa1do ll... leave the game immediately. My friend knows him, I've been in his party a few times, do not mess with this guy. From what I've heard, he's the real deal. I also heard someone made a guy named Wa2do (similar to his name) and then he hacked that guy and boosted off his level." -From Minou on Bungie.net

Actually I'm very happy Reach came out not because I like the game, but rather this means Halo 3 is dead and will be put in the garbage where it belongs.

Halo 3 was good. I think it was better then Reach. There wasn't a fun factor when I played Reach, it felt like a dumb downed version of Halo.

I can not explain in words how bad Halo 3 is. I played the Reach beta for the full three weeks it was out and honestly it was just very average, not bad though. Halo 3 is complete trash there are just so many things in that game Bungie messed up on.

haha reach does play like shadowrun!

its amazing how many people are blinded by all the glossy paint they throw on the piece of crap that is Reach like the armor and abilities and it distracts people from realizing the game plays like a piece of crap, a very pretty piece of crap.
but crap nonetheless

Not to dis your list but I think you missed 100 other reasons H2 was the best, if you look at it broadly and you missed millions of reasons if you get picky lol.

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

Halo 2 you had more freedom and it was built in a way that you wanted to keep on playing. You could go off the maps, explore the many different stuff Bungie hid in the campaign "read Grumpy1's exploration guide", and the campaign storyline was much more detailed and well made compared to Halo 3, ODST, and Reach's campaign. You never get bored from the Halo 2 campaign, because you got to switch campaign perspectives between the Arbiter and the Chief.

The old multiplayer ranking system forced you to improve your game in order to rank up. It was made to be difficult to get to 50 and keep that 50, unlike halo 3 where you could easily boost to 50 in a few matches. You needed to constantly play and win matches to go up past 35, and one loss could make you lose that rank you worked so hard to get. Plus the multiplayer maps were pretty good to play on, you couldn't get bored from playing on them.

Halo 2 is by far the best Halo ever... of all time.
Halo 3 is decent
Halo Reach is trash

It was alright. It was a bit of a letdown at first, but over time it proved pretty damn fun.

Looking back the campaign was better than I gave it credit for at the time. Not as good as some of the others, but definitely good.

  • 11.15.2010 5:28 AM PDT

Best multiplayer maps in the franchise, innovative gameplay, better graphics, XBox Live, definitely the best Halo game in the franchise.

The Campaign wasn't that awesome, especially because of the infamous cliffhanger, but it was good when compared to Halo 3, ODST and Reach. I believe they focused a lot of their attention in the Elites, and not enough on the Covenant culture in general.

Still, those were some good times.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

Biased forum is biased.
It probably cost a lot of money to run all the xbox 1 servers few people played on. It took forever to matchmake, less then 1000 people were on at a time, and the #2 game on the xbox live charts had only 10-20 people on at once.

Sorry, but MS isn't going to put up servers which few people are going to play on. Just get the PC port, XBC, or Xlink Kai, and stop b!7tching about how halo 2 is RUINED FOREVER because of the shutdown.
