Subject: Why is Halo 2 worshiped as the best Halo

I honestly do not see how this game was that fun. I stop playing reach for a while just becasue I got super board of that game and I got my brothers to play some Halo 2 split screen. At first I thought this was going to be so much fun but it really was not fun at all. Movement speed seemed so slow and the BR was blah. Sniping seemed like a joke. And just the over all gameplay seemed boaring.

Then I poped in Halo CE I had a blast playing that game. Movement speed was faster, pistol was very quick and deadly, and the sniper was hard but yet very satisfying if you get a headshot.

I am not saying Halo 2 is terrible in fact I think it is better than Halo 3 and Reach. But man I just cant see how this game is worshiped so much over CE. At least that is in my perspective. It seems like in my perspective everyone worships Halo 2. That might be diferent for you.

Halo 2 for Life!

If you have to ask, than you will never know. It was an experience that words have little ability to convey. Simply Brilliant.

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

You missed out on everything. Halo 2 was Xbox Live. It destroyed everything else at the time.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

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

Because a lot of people here wear something called Nostalgia Goggles, and worship Halo 2 and fap to it on a daily basis.

Truth is, you aren't the only one who thinks h2 is overrated.

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

Halo 2 had the best campaign and multiplayer experience out of all the games in the series so far. You had more to do in the campaign, legendary was harder on Halo 2 then any other Halo game, you had the ability to explore off the maps, and take the multiplayer experience to the next level thanks to the bugs and glitches that were present on the maps. It was a game that you couldn't get bored playing, and everyday you could discover something new to explore in campaign.

I <3 Halo 2 and Trombones ^.^

Learn to spell, and Halo 2 is not "worshiped", it just is the best Halo.

Yes, it is worshipped. Nubs think it's good, but it's not.

Fair play

Isn't Halo:CE the most worshiped Halo game?

I believe the fanbase of Halo 2 was bigger and therefor more worshiped.

Or any game. But over at failnet, most people hate reach and worship 2.

I've fought mudcrabs more fierce than you!

If you played halo ce first you would appreciate it. CE was considered revolutionary, innovative and essentially defined the first person shooter. The story was mostly from the master chief/humans point of view whereas halo 2 focused a lot more on the covenant's side of things. I think it just intrigued a lot of halo fans seeing the other side of the coin. Halo 2 definatly has the best story of any halo game. There where a lot of new things you could do in halo 2 than in ce. Such as dual wielding, jacking vehicles, new weapons like the energy sword, brutes, and i guess all round a lot more action. I guess in summary, if you went from halo 3 or halo reach to halo 2 you aren't really going to enjoy it as much, but if you played them in sequence without experiencing any other halo beforehand it is unbelieveable. I still rate halo 2 as the best halo so far, even with it's SD graphics.

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

- B( )B

I don't know if I would call it my favorite Halo, the first 3 were all pretty even for me. Reach However is pretty mediocre when compared to any of the original 3 Halo games.

Halo 2 is probably pretty boring 1v1.

That's why the 1v1 playlist didn't last long on Halo 2. :P

It was simply a bigger, more community-orientated experience.

Nearly everybody on Live played Halo 2. Halo 2 was simply the hub of the Xbox Live experience during it's peak.

Plus the gameplay just had you coming back for more.

Na didn't last because it was super easy to stand bye one person... If you weren't host, you could count on being stand byed.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

I had the most fun with Halo 3 then any game in general. Awww damn...nostalgia.

RIP Halo 2

I started playing Halo with CE in 2001. I've played every one of them over the years a great deal, and Halo 2 is still by far my favorite. I loved CE, liked 3 a lot, and I think Reach is fun for a while, but I could play Halo 2 all day on xbox live. It really can't be explained. Just the perfect game.

That's what it comes down to isn't it, you can't explain the unexplainable. Also, it's not worship (OP), it's the love of a fun thing to do and to miss that thing is natural.
