If you didn't Play Halo: CE or Halo 2 MP, your opinion about Halo means nada.
CE + H2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>> H3+Reach+H4

Basically, you're defending aim assist and bullet magnetism (lol sniper, lol shotgun) by saying that it was a countermeasure to lag?
To be honest, this is totallyinvalid. There were plenty of other shooters with none of these features which worked just fine over friggin dial-up! UT1999 was a good example.
I'm not denying the fun Halo 2 was and still is, but you guys seriously need to stop defending this game so hard. Every Halo game had it's problems, e.g. CE's indestructable vehicles, H3's derp random BR and stupid melee and Reach's ruined vehicle combat.
Be honest with yourself, I could also justify the US' 2nd nuclear bomb on Japan in WW2 with Pearl Harbor although this would be less valid than Glenn Beck's "facts".
Only thing is it made the game FUN.
Halo 2 Had amazing arena style gameplay as well as BTB and the reason it was so fun was b/c of the amazing things you could pull off with the Sniper, BxR or w/e. the had heavy aim-assist but that doesnt matter.
Halo is and always will be an ARCADE shooter. the auto-aim isnt a huge deal b/c it takes a few seconds to kill someone generally, not like a military shooter where it takes a few bullets.
Halo 2 was NOT perfect, but then again NO game is. but what I can tell you I had more fun playing it online with my friends more than a million times more than Reach and H3 put together.Even just playing clan matches at night with friends from school was better than anything now days. and the ranking system visually alone were cooler than anything we got this gen.
The only thing you can really say plagued Halo 2 was the cheating in MM but even then custom games were fun as hell. whether it MLG, Tower of Power, Zombies or your own created gametypes it was always a blast. H3 and Reach have way more options yet are NO WHERE near as fun and thats because it comes down to gameplay.
Reach has stupid bloom, and H3 had retarded bullet spread esp. with the BR. That shouldnt be it Slows down kill times and gameplay, last I checked Halo wasnt a tactical shooter like Rainbow Six. What made CE and 2 so great were the weapons were deadly accurate and powerful like they should be and it kept the pace and tempo fast and furious. not to mention the first too games had amazing maps when compared to the crap in H3 and Reach.
and for the record I say all this having played every Halo game on consoles for more than my fair share and being pretty good at all of them.
