Subject: What was the multiplayer of this game like?

Halo 2 for Life!

Instead of making 100 new threads I decided to respond to threads that have intresting conversations going on in them about things I was going to post new topics on anyway.

Please stop accusing me of "bumping" or anything silly like that.

Why do you keep bumping dead threads?

Haha, I made this thread, yet I have to agree with you that this thread should be dead still.

Multiplayer was godly compared to any game that out this year.

Halo2 is the only game where every1 in my family played.

Yes me and my sibblings would have epic 2v2s(i got 1 bro 2 sisters)

Then we'd fine tune are skills and every Christmas eve we'd go to my grandparents house and battle all our cousins(i have a big ass family with 12 cousins at the time now i have 11 :( So my family would have an "adult" toury and a "kiddie" toury. THe winner team of 4 of the "kiddie" and "Adult" toury would face off for the 1st piece of my grandmothers homemade applepie with canolies. God i miss those days =*( now me and 2 cousins, my brother and 1 of my Uncles are the only 1's still playing more modern Halo titles. The rest of my family stoped playing but man those where the days....

Grunt"AHHHHHHH"!

Halo 2 was great, I miss the good days of old xbox live. (You know when people would say good game at the end of the match.)

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

You do know that bumping is against the rules of many forums. Threads should stay dead, instead of getting bumped by n00bs every day.

one of the most engaging and memorable experiences I ever had on XBL

you could superbounce, dummy, legitimately get outside some maps, sword cancel, etc etc and all while in matchmaking. that was one aspect. it was also one of the best competitive games you could ever hope to play. "Red team wins ties!" was great. being able to talk to the other team in-game was completely different from now, as party chat didn't exist (only 2-person private chat). you could psych out or mislead the other team simply through using your headset. the maps were all great in their own way (even the DLC) and the playlists stayed fresh for well over a year. there was no time limit in the post-game lobby, so you could just sit there and talk trash for literally an hour (done it before). it just seemed like Bungie wasn't as concerned with fixing all of the game's glitches and making sure that every map was air-tight and un-explorable - as they are now. and the game wasn't catering to any type of player, it just existed for our own enjoyment

the only games that can compare for me in terms of the incredible online experience are Rainbow Six 3, Midtown Madness 3, Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, PGR2, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and Ghost Recon

Halo 3 was awful imo and Halo Reach is a little bit better. I am sick of the AA though and find myself wishing that Halo 2 could just be remade with all of its faults still intact

Halo 2 multiplayer was the climax in halo history.

...Midtown Madness 3...


NOOOOO WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO ME?!?!?! I had finally forgotten that my MM3 disk is too scratched to play... Even though I can't play it online anymore (nobody plays it on Xlink/XBC), I still miss that game :P! It was almost 1% as awesome as Halo 2 - and that says a lot :P

R.I.P. Halo 2
11/9/04 - 4/15/10

- B( )B

Wow, I miss all those nights doing customs on XBL. Zombies at Foundation, Tower of Power, a great ranking system.

Dammit, now I'm all sad.

You know, when you're having a bad day, you just gotta let yourself go!

I only played on local with my friends since I didn't have live years ago, so my opinion will be that it was a heck of a lot of fun regardless if you had live or not.

Hi.

The perfect game. Then they fixed what wasn't broken and made Crap. I mean Reach.

  • 01.23.2011 1:03 AM PDT

Halo 2 for Life!

Yes! Also the updates for Halo 2 that limited off the map exploration was a bummer.

Arrogant hyperbolic exclamations of woe? Seems like a normal day for Halo/Bungie.net.

Quartered the skill gap of CE.


Fix'd.

Anyway, I didn't play Halo 2 on LIVE that much back in the days.
But me and my family always used to have very fun tournaments (I have...40 cousins),even though there wasn't even a prize for the winner!
So, to answer your question, Halo 2's multiplayer was great, it was fun and very addicting.

Anyway, with Halo 3 those days stopped, though I feel that H3 was the climax of Halo history. To me, that was the most addicting game EVER.

EVERYONE was talking about it, soooo many people just came to Gamestop to stare at the Cover!

You know it does nothing. It did nothing in Halo 3-1, you just did not notice it. Go on Halo 3 and rapid fire at a wall and the bullets get more random. Don't try to deny it. I've shot real guns, I should know.

So epic. Maps were the best of the Halo series imo, with Ascension, Lockout, Middy, Turf, Coag, Terminal, Relic, Containment, and Tombstone. Like just moving around the maps was insane. All the ledges on Lockout to find ways to B3 or S2. Going in the vent sideways on Midship.

All around amazing.

And you bumped this again. Dead threads should stay dead. If you call me a "No-Lifer", just look at TottallyObsessive's bumped posts.

The reason we have thumbs was to play halo 2 MP poor child i could cry. my heart goes out to your poor deprived hands.

It was the driving force behind Xbox Live (in my opinion)

Good players work together...and no matter how good you are, you're not physic. - blade6321

OP, let me start by saying that this game was immensely fun. It was simply amazing from the intense team oriented gameplay to the pure split between infantry and vehicle gameplay in BTB. But it's far from perfect. In hindsight, there were a lot of problems that we simply overlooked. The ranking system was too easily exploited. Very simplistic, very predictable but a poor judge for skill. Auto-aim was higher than I've seen in any other FPS. More cheaters than you could count and exploits all over the place. While those are very very negative aspects that brought loads of grief to the game, I can honestly say I look back at the game with a smile. The maps worked a lot better than they did in H3 or Reach (Not to say that there aren't good maps in either games). Dual Wielding worked perfectly (Much better than CoD). The BR was overpowered like nothing before and the starting weapon (SMG) left you vulnerable. Spawns needed serious work and the sword (With infinite ammo) was glowing instant death. But all in all, it just worked. Can't really explain it.
