Subject: Would you have liked Halo 2 to be a Launch title for 360?

R.I.P. Halo 2 11/9/04-4/15/10
If you havn't played Halo 2 online than you are missing so much. Plus if you have played a good amount of Halo 2 online, I might have a better chance of listening to anything you say.

Think about it like this, if they were able to wait another year to release it as a launch title on 360, we would still be able to play it online. Or do you think the wait would have been too long and the qaulity of the game reduced?

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

Yes, because then it would have been much better then the final, and would not have felt as rushed.

The game may have looked rushed in the beginning but that was only if you played online before title update 1.1

After that, problems were fixed and the game was great.

But the point of this thread was if you wished it was a launch title just so the game would still be online.

No, none of the things that he is thinking of when saying that the game was unfinished could have ever been fixed in a title update. The game was great fun, definitely the greatest title on the original Xbox (I like Halo: Combat Evolved on the PC more than Halo 2, though) but it still felt completely unfinished because it was. Even Bungie feels the same way about that.

I would have loved if it were a launch title for the 360. First of all, it would still be online today and it would have been made greater than Halo 2 was. It's a shame that it was rushed out the door by Micro$oft to compete with some other game that I'm pretty sure 98% of us don't even know. The thing is, though, that things did turn out well for the Halo series. I love each and every Halo. Some of the things that were unfinished about Halo 2 made the game extremely fun. For example, the super jumps. The glitches in Halo 2 were extremely fun for someone like me who didn't get much of a chance to ever play online.

TL;DR = Basically, I love how the game came out, but, I would have really enjoyed seeing how it turned out if it wouldn't have been rushed out the door by Micro$oft.

What the hell is a signature?

Yup, I have friends that dont really like pc games. only xbox

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

I bought a 360 when it released but the only game I played online was Halo 2 for a while, the only reason I changed over to Halo 3 was the extra features and the ability to use the 360's features while playing it.

If Halo 2 were a 360 game I would have kept playing it.

Title updates can't fix everything. The Xbox 1 is limited by 64mb of ram, a geforce 3, and a 733mhz pentium 3, while the 360 has a tri core 3.2 GHZ ppc, 512mb ram, and a newer ati GPU.


Halo 3 was pretty much what bungie wanted h2 to be, but with some changes (and with more lag)

Join our fight and finish it.

Yes all the way. Make it come back.

Halo 2 will always be remembered..........

I'd buy it....At midnight the night it came out.

  • 03.22.2011 11:06 PM PDT

Thats a tough q..... If they had it for the 360 it probably would have been everything that it is now + H3's graphics. When I think of it that way.... YES. I wish they would have waited. Yet again I may have never got introduced to Halo. I wasn't even big into video games until I played Halo 2. I had a gamecube and an original xbox but I wasn't super hardcore until H2.

  • 03.23.2011 2:44 AM PDT

I think both Halo 1 and 2 should put into one 360 game... sorta like they did with God of war 1 and 2 for the ps3

I cant play Halo 1 or 2 on My 360 cause I have to get a hard drive for it and I have the latest 360 so buying a hard drive isnt Cheap... and I dont want a huge one after all Halo 1 and 2 wont take up much space ¬¬

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

LOL WHY IS THIS THREAD ALIVE LOL I R MAD

I did not know I could have a signature.

I would love it to be honest. By far my favorite Halo, and one of the best online games in my opinion.

  • 03.24.2011 3:43 PM PDT

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

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

No it would have probably sucked. every Halo this gen has so...

I vote HELL YEAH! it would be great to have Halo 2 relaunched for 360 the only condition is that they dont try to change the maps or gameplay or leveling it was a great sistem the only thing i would change in my opinion is for better graphics

why is bad boys 2 better than the first then?
Why is Halo 2 MP better than CE?
why is BO better than MW2?
Why is PD better than Goldeneye?

oh no according to Mr. basementdweller every new game is better than the last. Thats the rule of the universe NEW = BETTER.

so that makes the Matrix Revolutions better than the original...

all this coming from the kid who is Total Kills: 1752 | Total Deaths: 4128.

IRONY much? I think not.

as my CoD brethren would say "uMad Bro?"

but thats this generations mindset,if You aint good at it, it must not be good.

My Halo 3 stats are better, but since you obviously want troll bait, you are going to use old stats from an account that half the games were my brother's (only for H2, not H3).

ahhhhhh the old "My brother plays on this account excuse" havent heard this one in a while.

and lmao no I dont consider someone with a .80 k/d in ranked and .67 k/d in social to be good or no what theyre talking about.

so again what makes you think you know -blam!- about the halo series since its evident that youre horrible and it?

No seriously, he did. My 360 broke, so he had to get his Halo fix by playing H2 on an old Xbox 1. When the 360 got back from repair, he went back to H3. Oh, and his tag is "Crazy Teeth Man", so you can look him up and yell at him too.

The reason I have 0.67 KD in social is because I never play social.

Your typing is also terrible. Try some typing software, then come back.

The only reason I voted yes is because the "online enabled" game play would still be true. Other than that, the graphics would not have been improved anymore so than the game play would have. Unless you are suggesting that they would have started the title the same time?

It wouldn't make sense however because of release deadlines. More time would have been nice, and we would have received an actually finished Halo 2, but it was not and still is not practical.
