Just got my Halo 2 over the post today, I played 3 levels of the campaign and around 10 MP games on X-Link.

I think the campaign so far is really great fun, so much of an improvement to Halo 1.

The graphics are meh (obviously) but they are not much worse than Halo 3's.

The maps are what stands out so far, Beaver creek is by far my favourite then it's maybe ascension, I hate pinnacle in reach but ascension is Halo 2 is much better.

So far I learnt how to BXR it's so overpowered haha

Lockout is a good map but completely overrated, maybe because it was swords and snipes when I played it I dunno.

I'm enjoying so far, I think reach and Halo 3 is miles better but I prefer this over CE and all of the CoDs.

Can't wait until I play some more campaign!

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

See the ending. You will hate campaign then, as you played all for nothing.

Let's just say it's a lame cliffhanger.

First off, my brother shared my account, and hes bad at Halo. Second, it takes no skill. Last time I played, I was pwning everyone....oh wait, it felt like the game was holding my hand. I felt all the auto aim, as the aim locked on, while I didn't need to aim to get kills.

Halo PC is a GOOD port. Everyone has it. And even better, it has no autoaim, you need skill to play it.

  • 03.01.2011 7:38 AM PDT

I know its good, Ive played it and liked it, I just dont like PC Gaming. I pefer consoles. oh btw i think it would be better to discuss this somewhere else without like SPAMING the forums. No i dont have xfire too lazy to make an account if you have msn add spider@ultimategroover.com.

I'm glad you are having fun and please excuse the interruption above. Whether you like other games better does not matter, we still like hearing your descriptions (well, most of us).

Maybe you can cite levels as you type? It's more interesting that way.

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.

Guys take your fighting somewhere else, feud through PM's or something.

Like Grumpy said, it would be more interesting if you can cite the levels as you go. To xMclovin IRE, I must agree with you in that the Halo 2 was much better then the COD.

Reach and Halo 3 were eh, they lost the good campaign story telling that Halo 2 had and multiplayer experience has degraded a bit. They toned down matchmaking to allow people who sucked on halo 2 to do better and the ranking system for Halo 3 was a joke with their rank locking and having the easy method of boosting to 50. Halo 2 you had to work your way up, and you knew where you stood. At least you had the same opportunity as everyone else to rank up, should you win your matches.

Aiming is 1 skill, and besides controllers are not as accurate as pc and mouse, so they need aim assist.
Everyone is on an even playing field on console, im just saying.

Can't believe this turned into a 1v1 thread but anyways I'm on the level were you have to chase after the heretic on the arbiter campaign, the music when your on the banshee is epic haha.

One thing that's really annoying though, when playing X-Link you can't choose a game because people keep creating games every 5 seconds meaning it'll push the game you're looking for down the list + every map is freaking lockout haha :P

I know how to BXR and double shot, the quad shot is difficult but I think I'll learn it properly tommorrow.

I also learnt the Zanzibar Super Jump :P

That cliffhanger created an insane amount of hype for the 3rd game. I don't think it could have ended any better.

So I completed it :)

Honestly I thought the campaign was the best yet only some parts got really repetitive, I preferred the John campaign over the arbiters.

I learnt (after 30 minutes of trying) the quad-shot. It's abused alot on X-link so I might as well :)


My favourite MP Level is Colossus

I had so much fun on that map yesterday.
