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

Yeah, Hitboxing = fail. For example, a certan user from the maw who has never played Halo 2 Xbox online links to this halo 2 bash video (its much less exreme in acutial gameplay) which shows hitboxing, but it also exists in halo 3, which also has unbalanced weps and n00b armor (recon).

I'm not really liking Reach so far. It's mostly just the bad maps. Or the repetition of the maps. I'd like to see some game variants without armor abilities, too.

Halo 2 was way better.
Reach's maps are really bad. The only good maps in that game are the remakes of halo 2 maps.

"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

Stop hating a game because you were bad at it.

First of all, I was thinking the same thing when I saw the name of the thread. Second, I find it odd that his Halo: Reach nameplate of choice is for Halo 2 and his avatar on this forum is from his Halo 2 character. If he hates the game so much why does he use those?

On-Topic: Yeah, I feel the same way. Reach really did surprise me. I honestly think Bungie went out with a really nice bang. It's just too bad that it didn't get as much attention as it should have.

Eh, Carby, I think it's younger folks trying to throw their weight around. Thinking that Reach is more "their" thing than "ours." But that brings me to a point. Us oldsters still live in the now. Can't speak for everyone, but I was really wanting Reach to kick blam. I waited just like everyone, grabbing every clip I could... anticipating and hoping. While it didn't fulfill my every wish, have still played it a ton. 2 forever.

Fada beo Halo 2!

well, if you think of all the things that made Halo 2 great, if got a list of reasons, and Reach will not have the same stuff. but you are entitled to your own opinion.

You got it right on that one NEF. When GoW 1 and 2 came out I was all over the glitches and off-level stuff. I play Dragon Age a lot and I still play Metal Arms as well as Reach. Give me a great game and I'll play it for 6 years (H2).

Kinda have to agree with this. Good games aren't about how popular they are at release, they are about how popular they are long after their release. Examples, Halo CE, Halo 2, and for the older crowd like myself, Super Mario Bros on the NES.

I think I have to disagree with you about that. H2 died when everyone got H3. Heck, even Halo 1 PC has more people then H2 before the shutdown was announced. It's even more unpopular now, except with people who are too cheap to buy a 360, and people mad that reach is good.

Contrary to popular belief, I am not actually a fat lady.

Remember when there was "Classic Slayer" in the Team Slayer playlist? No sprint, no jetpack, no armor abilities. When playing on Hemmorhage, it really brings back memories on playing CE on Blood Gulch. (Minus the new weapons and vehicles) Sadly, they removed it from the playlist entirely when they updated the ranks. :(

I have to agree with the Ninja on this one...maybe cause I'm an old lad now (commodore 64 days),but Halo 2 was and always will be a great game as I still go back to it on occasion and play the missions with a few skulls on.Hunting for the skulls was also a good challenge...Try "outskirts" on Legendary with Mythic on...sniper alley...do I need to say anymore ...pure class..though I died alot..It is always fun to play..

my 2 cents...miss the online now though

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Jacob did it ever flow through your little troll brain that they are talking about the Campaign and not the Multiplayer?

You bash the game and continue to say how overrated it was blah blah blah, yet you lurk around its own forums and post far more than your average Halo 2 Fanboy.

For the last time, stop trying to act like someone you are not. None of us are fooled.

Holy crap, you are unbanned now!

Anyway, this ending sucked. The campagin was overrated, everyone hated it, you would get flamed back in "the good days", and the ending just cut off. That's it. It just cut off.

And then h3 happened.
