Subject: Should I get halo 2?

Im just wondering if I should get it since over the summer I will be spending more time at my grandparents, and since I dont have an xbox there, (its at my mom's house), I was thinking Halo 2 could substitute. Also, do people still go on and play Halo 2 on matchmaking? And how does it compare to Reach/Halo 3? Thanks!

Halo 2 for Life!

If you like a slow boring game get other Halos. Halo 2 is very unique in the series, as it had so many glitches that it made every aspect of the game faster. Yet they fixed the glitches as much as they could and caused the glitches to become perfectly in tune with the game.

Anyways, if you are skilled in exploiting the glitches Halo 2 can be played very fast and it can be alot of fun practicing the glitches.

verdict - play some halo 2 you will have fun even if there is no XBL.

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).

Matchmaking for all original Xbox games was shut down last year. You won't be able to play it online unless you want to download Xbox Connect or Xlink Kai. You can google them if you want to try them. It has a fun campaign and is a lot of fun in split screen or LAN play.

Halo 2 doesn't compare to the newer Halo games, and to suggest that is just insulting. It's just as bad as comparing the Beetles to the Backstreet Boys.

In case you didn't get it Halo is the Beetles in this and the newer Halos are the Backstreet Boys. Halo 2 is the greatest Halo game.

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

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

I would TOTALLY approve of this quote, but due to the fact that you misspelled The Beatles I cannot trust your great taste in music.

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.

Great campaign and its a good game to play with friends during system link parties. If you want to play online try using xlink kai or xbox connect, usually you can find groups of people playing for fun on it.

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

Only buy it if you have friends over there.
If so, DO IT SON!

But now that there is no LIVE, it gets kinda boring playing alone.

Give me a break, it was one in the morning when I wrote that. Do you know how hard it is to spell anything at one in the morning?

From my experience, a great way to spend your free time is to go through each game's single player (in order) to really appreciate the full experience of Halo. Seeing as though you say you have not really touched the second game, setting out on such an odyssey is my very first recommendation to you.

Halo 2 is, in all of its entirety, a solid and enjoyable title to invest yourself in. There's no reason not to pick it up from your local game retailer as soon as possible, seeing as though you can snag it for a very fair price nowadays. Have fun!

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

Save your money and get H3/Reach.

halo 2 vista is also good. it actually has live. but i suggest u get a good computer cause mm and campaign will suck if you dont.

  • 03.27.2011 11:38 AM PDT

I loved halo 2, personally. Its interesting because you get to play as both the Chief and the Arbiter, which is a bit of a twist.

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

I easily logged over 150+ hours on Campaign alone. Best campaign in the series and fun to play with friends. Waayyy too many fun things to do for one game to handle. It's a steal for only $20 (For most stores)

  • 03.27.2011 8:38 PM PDT

Pretty sure I got IP banned by 343i forums for criticizing Reach so much. So I decided to join another message board, and landed here. I'm done complaining about the game because I've found ways to enjoy it.

Any self-respecting Beatles fan or music fan in general would never misspell 'The Beatles'. You're obviously neither.

Oh and by the way, you have it wrong. The newer Halos can't touch the greatness of Halo 2 and CE.
