So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Halo 2 was the bomb that rocked my world! Until Microsuck cut the Original Xbox server. I am currently playing Reach with my Halo 2 flair with pride! Remember Reach? I don't think so. Remember Halo 2.

This isn't even close! Halo 2 is the best game ever made, unbelievable memories on Halo 2, so competetive, met so many friends on Halo 2 which I still play with today, everyone I know that has played Halo 2 and Reach agrees that Halo 2 is the best game ever and should be available to play online again!
Reach is just not Halo, it feels completely different and it caters for the noobs so badly!
I pray to God that Halo 2 can be played online again one day soon, that would be such good news!

HALO 2 FORVER, BEST GAME EVER MADE!

yea....its that bad

the only thing reach has over halo 2 is forge, co-op campaign, and firefight. which isnt really a fair fight because halo2 would have had those things if it was made with the technology bungie has now. other than that halo2 pretty much rapes raech in every other aspect.

I am pretty sure that everyone who voted for Halo Reach was drunk and selected it by accident.

Halo 2 for Life!

Even without this poll it should be obvious the impact H2 had on people. The millions of people that played, the Billions of games (I assume). It's unfrickenbelivible! H2 for life. Also H2 had 40x the pop. than any other xbox original game in it's final two years. If they didn't know before they weren't even trying to look obviously. Your poll might help them see what it ment to the Halo community and for that I thank you for making the thread/poll.

Never played Halo 2 online, but I'm sure it blows Reach out of the water. Reach's multiplayer is horribly balanced, and I'm hoping that a patch would do some good to the multiplayer. Hell, for me, it would be better off if they got rid of Armor Abilities (except maybe Sprint, as gameplay is slow enough as it is).

H2 By about one billion miles

everything about halo 2 is better but reach has better graphics, online play, and over all game play. so i would have to say reach but man halo CE and halo 2 had by far the best story lines

Graphics? Have you seen or played reach (I played the beta). It's not very good. H2 has unique graphics. It looks silly the new graphic types in H3 and Hreach, shine and gloss doesn't make somthing look any better than what they are which is very bad games, with very bad graphics even if some think not, I think so!

I only played Halo 2's Multiplayer on its last day, and it was a lot better than Reach is in its current state.

Halo 2 was perfect. If only Reach was more like Halo 2.

Gotta love how when players look at games like halo 3 and reach every little thing wrong with it or any little spot that might give one team the advantage it's picked apart and complained about to no end but when it comes to halo 2 it's nothing but 'ooh man those were the days all those glitches, bounces, and ways to get out of the maps... they just don't make 'em like that anymore'


Not saying Halo 2 was worse, just commenting on how nobody seems to remember how annoying and broken Halo 2 could be at times, not to mention the HUUUUGE amount of aim assist and magnetism combined with the gigantic hitboxes in multiplayer.


Halo CE was and always will be the best halo and my personal favorite in the series.

Halo 2 for Life!

If you don't know how to use it, everything seems broken. Hreach is a mindless game of killing; H2 was a game of teamwork and communication. BTB for H2 was like no other MP experience ever and it's a shame you never were able to experience it correctly (going off your H2 is broke comment).

H2 was a mindless game of killing if you wanted it to be but it had that second level of great game play if you were to venture off to BTB and the gameplay could handle the ways we were using it.

Hreach cant handle BTB interactions, the communication that is needed, the smoothness of the game that is needed, the balance of gameplay that is need, the movements speeds and vehicle speeds that are needed, etc. H2 for life.

I must go now, my planet needs me.

what the hells eggy ow and halo reach is better

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Halo 2, it was perfect in almost every way to me.

The campaign has kept me coming back, replaying it for the past 6 years and I've never once gotten bored of playing it. Also glitches, messing around in levels has some absolutely hilarious effects.

The soundtrack is the best Marty has produced for Halo, divine in every sense of the word.

Multiplayer has given me a hell of a time with LAN Parties and stuff like that, a perfect balance between casual and hardcore gameplay. There was something for everyone.

Customs... Tower of Power, pre-Halo 3 infection... It was all brilliant.

Halo 2 has struck me as being the most COD like IN ONE SPECIFIC SENSE. That is, it was rushed, glitchy, unbalanced, full of cheaters and hackers, and totally over the top, yet still managed to win over millions. That said, I found Halo 2 (my first Halo game) fun but COD...not so much.

Like Halo 2, I started having fun in Reach the second I started. The campaign was very cool (Halo 2's Scarab fight v. Space combat and jet packs?), the characters were totally badass, and the plot felt extremely important, it grabbed my attention. However, Reach's was sort of artificial and forced, being a ret con and all, while Halo 2's was not.

However, I feel that the more refined gameplay and mountain of options in Forge and Firefight manage to balance out 2's accidental replayability from all those vacations and super bounces.

In the end, I find it hard to decide, and thusly go back to my PC and play Halo CE. Hard to beat the original.

You have me mistaken, I knew the super bounces, and how to use the button glitches, you pretty much had to know them or else you'd face getting killed by people using them with no real way to fight back. At the end of the day, though, the button glitches, like them or not, are just that, glitches. When I say Halo 2 is broken I'm not talking broken as in terms of one team spawning with an advantage, I'm saying broken as in the game was full of holes, exploits, glitches, and bugs.

As for your whole argument of how deep and rich Halo 2's multiplayer was, I simply laugh. Halo 2's level of depth might be acceptable now, and even more 'in depth' than other games today according to you, but it doesn't change the fact that Halo 2's formula was a greatly streamlined version of Halo CE's setup, which was already a greatly simplified and dumbed down version of other FPS games on the PC market at the time.

I'm not saying you're wrong for liking halo 2, just saying that your arguments are highly biased and based more in your opinion rather than fact.
