Subject: Remember when Bungie was hardcore fans of their game?

This. To me it felt like Bungie loved Halo 2 like a child. Fun times were had. Awesome maps were made. It was one hell of an era.


Here's to hoping 343 brings back the awesome back to Halo. Good maps & good gameplay with a side of beautiful open world campaign.

Halo 2 for Life!

343 is more likely to carry on with reach type halo's rather than H2 type.

this wont happen if halo 2 fans have something to say about it!

they are unlikely to hear us though as they have tunnel vision on projects usually. bunige had this same problem for h3 and hreach. they lacked everything good in h2 and had everything bad in CE,COD,Gears, CS,PD, BS,Doom,Fear,Quake,FC,UT,HL,MP,SS,Crysis,L4D,VC,KZ, 007, you name it and h3 and hreach had those bad qualities lol.

I have never seen that video, and I just chose to watch it over studying for my test tomorrow. It was more than worth it. I miss Halo 2 so much, and that just made it that much more amazing.

I really do hope 343 does a H2 type game next, at least with storyline and multiplayer maps, etc. They should at least keep the battle rifle and have a better campaign then what Halo 3/ODST/Reach had.

I'm just waiting for Frankie to say in a video about the upcoming project. "We're trying to get back to our roots. Trying to get that awesome open world feel of Halo Combat Evolved and that unique experience Halo 2's multiplayer had to offer." If this ever happens I promise I will not only need a change of undies but also a whole new pair of pants.

If 343 listens to the community they will realize that focusing on making Halo like the most recent ones would be a terrible thing. I would like to think of it this way. Since a bunch of Halo fans are new to the franchise a Halo 2 style game would feel fresh to them. It would also please the vets. It's a win win.

Test shmest.... lol I'm kidding.... but really it almost is that important. Every fan of Halo 2 should have the pleasure of viewing that video. I forgot about it until I put my H2 map disk in. I watched it on my xbox then watched it on the PC twice. Those maps in general were just amazing.

I knew the maps on H2 were good, but I didn't realize how good they actually were until I watched that. That video gave me a whole new perspective on those maps and made me realize how "under-par" the maps have been since.

Halo 1 and 2 had a really frantic flow to gameplay. Halo 3 and Reach turn into such campfests because each of the maps have unnessecary places that people "tactically use". Don't get me wrong people camped in Halo 2 but the maps weren't built for that style of gameplay so campers weren't that big of a deal. You ever see someone camp successfully on Warlock? Foundation? Midship? Lockout? I really hope 343 brings back the arena stlye maps.

Halo 2 had the complete package when it came to maps.

You like BTB?
Containment
Coagulation
Relic
Burial Mounds
Terminal
Headlong
Zanzibar
Waterworks.

You like 4v4? (The main thing in Halo)
Lockout
Midship
Foundation
Turf
Ascension
Sanctuary
Tombstone
Desolation
Beaver Creek
Elongation
Burial Mounds
Ivory Tower
Terminal

You like FFA?
Gemini
Foundation
Lockout
Backwash
Ascension
Colossus
Ivory Tower
Terminal

And most of the maps were set up very well for objective..
Flags on Relic anyone?
Oddball on Warlock anyone?
Assault on Terminal anyone?

Their are many many more I'm just giving out the basics.

ALSO Lockout. It was just brilliant. It worked just as good for 1v1's as it did for 8v8s. Yes for those of you with a short memory Lockout was in BTB.

Personally, I think 343 will really try their best to make their Halo games out of love and fandom. What's running 343 are old Halo CE & 2 veterans and Halo fans. If you look at the job listing page, it's required that you're an avid fan of the game and that you've played most of the games.

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 haven't seen this video in a long time. Watching this really makes me want to play some Halo 2 again. I miss playing games on good maps.

Yes, because a thread where we are talking about maps has EVERYTHING to do with gameplay. GTFO.

Halo 2
beautiful open world campaign.
open world campaign.

I REPEAT

Halo 2
open world .



wat. That better be sarcasm.

By the way, concerning the campaign mode of their upcoming game, 343 should really re-visit spaces like T&R, Outskirts, Cartographer and The Ark. I really loved the beautiful vistas of Reach but they didn't make up for all the small-scaled skirmishes we were offered.

As for the Multiplayer, I think Halo 3 had it best but you must be joking if you seriously think that 343 would get entirely rid of AA's or Equipment. What I think would please everyone is re-introducing the Drop Shield, removing AL, Camo and DS loadouts and abilities and limiting everything but Sprint and Hologram to special maps + Campaign / Firefight.

Armor Abilities do make the campaign a lot more fun, admit it. (Although Reach's campaign is still, although great, the worst out of the 5 Halo campaigns)

TacoPizzaHunter, look at what you quoted. What was it that totallymassive said that was just map pack related and nothing else?

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

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

100% agreed.

I used to feel like they were some much more emotionally attached to their games back in the day. now its just different

idk I could be wrong but thats how it feels to me

It is seriously so funny watching you hate so much on Halo 2 and bashing everyone on here when they say they miss it. Do you go outside? I'm literally LOLing. What is wrong with missing such a great game, if you hate it so much then why do you keep browsing this form? And I'm basing the fact that you hate it from your comment "crappy fps."
