Subject: What was the multiplayer of this game like?

Halo 2 for Life!

Problems... to what do you scale these features to that makes them into problems. To reach, to CE, to H3. As all of those showed off major problems of their own. You are looking through a straw that is why you can't explain its greatness.

CE had a major problem with MP, yet others say it had the best MP (leaving out key differences in there analysis between the halo's), and understanding why they think that involves realizing a large amount of their thinking about CE is blinded by CE single player story (they only look at things they would like to and forget about major issues that they see as not present or dont see them at all).

It's not easy to seperate these things sometimes but it for sure takes some level of thinking for a extended period of time. Which sometimes I think people in this forum don't do enough (which can be said in almost any forum lol).

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.

Wow, perfect post, we liked the game even with the flaws. Hell, I like the game because of the flaws and I can't explain that either. Great post Tactical.

It was the pinnacle of my gaming career. Pure magic.



Me and you both, dude. This game had everything you wanted in a multiplayer game and more. The maps were flawless, guns were unbeatable, and game play was pure magic. I wish it never left us...

Sad Halo veteran is sad.

Sadly I got Xbox LIVE on my xbox 360 shortly after Halo 2 was canceled and I never had LIVE for xbox original. I may have never gotten to play online but I know it would have been legendary.

If you didn't Play Halo: CE or Halo 2 MP, your opinion about Halo means nada.

CE + H2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>> H3+Reach+H4

For anyone who never played H2 online THIS Is a great representation of how much fun it was

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

This is a much better representation

You know what's really funny? That this post is coming from someone blinded by fanboyism himself. You're contradicting with the basic concept of any FPS, contradicting with logic and now you're even contradicting with yourself! Have a cookie sir, we both know that every Halo game was amazing in its own way but you are probably just having a...let's call it a weird stage of learning how to apply logic when talking about videogames.

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.)


yes it has gone downhill indeed... i try to say good game... but it falls on deaf ears and the room is silent. that was when gamers respected each other.

It was the best multiplayer game to date.. it had everything a strong all purpose weapon, great fun maps, a fast paced playstyle.. endless custom game possibilities with the sword cancelling and super bounce capabilities.. I personally enjoyed the button combos, the only bad thing was H2 master chief threw grenades like a 11 year old girl in comparison to the others lol

The Pain Train TPT

Super jumps! Also people actually talked in game unlike today.

One game I'm not joking a little like 7 year old said and I quote " tell me what your dick looks like so I can imagine it in my head and beat off to it"

If Team Swat became ranked, would there still be no shields?


Amazing!

My favorite MP game to date.

The times from spring '05 to summer of '06 were majestic.

Best MP maps
Hitscan BR
Headlong Assault
Coagulation CTF
Lockout Slayer
Turf 3 Plots
Sanctuary CTF
Beaver Creek CTF Classic
Terminal Assault

Then Halo 3 ruined it.

Halo 2 for Life!

It's to easy to mute people today... I agree that they lack talking. One of the bigger problems I had with H3 was no one talked ever.

Halo 3 ruined nothing. Everyone is talking in H3.
Go play Social BTB or something.

Meanwhile, no one in H2 talked in Team Slayer or couldn't hear due to the 360 always emulating a headset plugged in.

Oh, and in Reach, PEOPLE TALK! WITH MICS! OMG!
