Subject: I wish Halo 2 was still online.

I do not fear death, in view of the fact that I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it. ~ Mark Twain

Recently, I've been playing tons of Halo 2. In my 6th form we have two xbox's system linked and so we play tons of Halo 2.

Due to the amount of Halo I have played compared to the rest of the guys in my school, I am by far the best in my school, and I've recently been wishing I had played Halo 2 online, to see how good I really was.

Well guys, tell me what the online Halo 2 was like, and how good people were with the weapons.

I can 6-7 shot just about every time with the BR, and take faces faster than any other weapon in any other game with the sniper (it seems quite easy) from nearly any distance. Can you guys tell me how amazing the good players were in Halo 2, because I know that I wouldn't have been that special.

True but it just doesn't give you the same feel for online gameplay the xbox version did, when you play it. It's just not the same, compared to the xbox version.

My Youtube - Halo 2 Online Co-op
BUNGIE AND MICROSOFT FAILS HALO 2 VISTA.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

I bought it for PC, and I join fun hacked servers like this one.
Banshee Warz FTW, this is alot better than what Bungie could ever make.

It would probably have more people online than most 360 games now, due to Reach not being all so popular aswell.

Check my stats (for the last 5 pages I remember not even caring about the game any more because it was all over), I would bet that if you 5 - 6 shot with the br you would struggle at a 30 in TS in 09 and in 07 you would struggle at a 25

"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

If you've never played Halo 2 online, you wouldn't have gotten past a 20.

I've only played System Link, lots of it, but I realise it's not the same as online, because I play the same guys often.

What was level 20 like? And what was the different skills like?

How would a legit 25 compare to a legit 30 and such like?

It's really hard to explain, it really wasn't set like if you can this, you are this level for sure. But the ranking system was basically 1-40, anything over 40 was usually not legit. I'd say the average was 20-23, anything above 30 was considered good, above 35 you were damn good. There none of that exp BS just your rank.

07 (after the reset)
Double Team and hardcore
1 - 15 was garbage and people had no idea what they were doing
16 - 20 people started to catch on and prefer the br
21 - 25 people were decent they could snipe and had a 5 shot br
26 - 31 people had great brs and snipe and would make smart plays
32 - 40 people could doubleshot and quadshot and had great decision making along with knowing the game machanics well and knew how to set up
41 + you could 4 shot everytime, camp, superbounce, make the right decisions, know how to set up

now for Team Slayer add 5 levels to get your slayer rank(ts is much easier)

Snipes if your team mates were good enough you didnt have to play a single game, only quit and you could infact get a 50 without ever having to try

2009 + 5 levels to find your rank for every playlist (much easier, because most of the good people left for halo 3)

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

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