It's old but still, enough to get fanboys wet.

I've read it and just realized that... isn't it kinda sad how we only appreciate something after years of hating and complaining about something? Like before, nobody liked Halo 2 and preferred CE. Now, everybody considers Halo 2 as a killer MP game. Halo 3 was consider bad when put next to Halo 2, but now, Halo 3 is loved by many. Today, people are constantly hatin' on Reach, but I'm sure they'll love it after Halo 4's released!

Don't truly appreciate something until it's gone ;)

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

It's how BNet works. Everything sucks until it's outdated.

Actually H2 was popular, considering millions played it. Anyone who says everyone hated the game is an idiot of the highest order.

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).

That article pretty much nailed it on the head for me.

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

Why does everyone complain about H3's maps? Sure, they weren't as good as Halo 2's or CE's but you must admit that they played very well and had a good design. Reach's maps piss me off, actually. If I remember correctly, I never hated a map from the other Halo's except for Blackout and default Foundry.

Snowbound and Isolation are insults to the Halo series.

The CE players hated it, there are lots of bad release date reviews on IGN, and if you take the BNET time warp by selecting posts from 05, you will see people flamed over it just like the Reach Forum.

That's not even close to everyone, I know lots of CE people who did not hate H2 and I believe most of the people that played H2 also played CE before that. They would be part of the millions who enjoyed the game. Considering those millions that loved H2, anyone who says H2 was hated by everyone is an idiot.

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

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

I agree thats how most people work

but I loved and still love H: CE and H2. And have always disliked 3 and Reach

There's a difference between buying a game and enjoying it. Shadow the Hedgehog was a Players Choice game on the GameCube and Greatest Hits on the PS2, while Sonic 06 was a "Platinum Family Hit" on the 360, and was bundled and was even on GoD for a short time before being pulled due to sucking that hard.

Lol, make some sense, millions played and enjoyed H2 and it has nothing to do with any other game.

Point is, crap sells. Many people did buy Halo 2, and didn't enjoy it.

Can you get any more vague? Compared to the countable millions that like H2, saying many didn't like H2 sounds pretty minuscule.

Plus I enjoyed the article.

Wheres your proof that people didn't enjoy Halo 2. Your bs rants and your personal opinions don't count as definitive proof. Unbiased and reliable facts from a well respected neutral source would be preferred.

Want proof from someone who wasn't fapping over it? Ok then Also, look at this. Halo 2 was rushed. Oh, and here are the IGN reviews.

You cannot ignore the past. If you were to make these posts years ago, you would be the one getting flamed hard.

Yes it's true people dislike all sorts of things, and they like all sorts of things. And everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I for one had a great time with Halo 2, I thought it was amazing. But if some one disagree's with me that's more than fine.
