Subject: What makes Halo 2 the best Halo?

I started up the heated debate on whether the SPARTAN-II in the cryo tube near the end of Reach is really Linda.
I created the Moa XING avatar pic.
Also I earned the All Star nameplate with this submission to Week 14 All Stars http://www.bungie.net/images/News/Inline11/bwu_0415/art/likea boss.jpg

I wish I was better at putting down my feelings about something. I absolutely love Halo 2. The game gives me a better nostalic feeling than anything else. The music of the game grabs my soul into it. The storyline and characters make up a pure epic.
What do you like about Halo 2?

I fairly sure that if his IQ was 4, he'd be a vegetable. Or a rock with aspirations of being a vegetable.

A better question would be: "What didn't you like". I can't make you a list of all the things I loved because I'm limited to ~10000 characters. If I had to pick a favorite, it would have to be either multiplayer map design, or the always changing and imaginative areas in campaign.

win reach is fun but halo 2 is the king of epic maps and gametypes, lets not forget the debute of the spectre and the ground and air heat seeking rocket and the beginning of a era for customization in fps

Games I like:,
Half-Minute Hero
MBU
Portal
Halo 3 is the best Halo ever
Maps I like: Turf, Avalanche, Pylon, Sandbox, Breakpoint and many more.

The fact that it poses a real challenge to us, as opposed to Halo: Reach. The skulls were fun collecting as well.

Hmm, I suppose I enjoyed the fact that it was nice and rough feeling with all sorts of glitches and unpredictably.

Also don't forget the memories

I remember me and a guy named dantheman87 were planning out a Campaign glitch/trick and a guy came along to our website and became interested in what we were doing. Soon he was doing all kinds of crazy ticks and we found out he was from China (back in 2005) and in the military. He wasn't supposed to be online with us but he did it anyway.

Because Halo 2 was a worldwide live game it brought more people together from all walks of life. Same with the websites, I have good friends from the UK, France, Germany, Netherlands, Asia, Australia....too many to name and all my connections came from Halo 2 (also CE but the people from other countries did not start showing up until Halo 2 and Live).

Halo 2 was not just a game, it was an experience.

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.

The game brought a lot of us together. Campaign and multiplayer were the best in the series. Multiplayer pushed us to be better and made us extremely competitive, and the ranking system was pretty fair unlike Halo 3's where you can get ranked locked. The campaign had a rich storyline, I loved playing the storyline from both the Human perspective and the Elites perspective. It was a game you couldn't get bored off. It had plenty of hidden glitches, superbounces, easter eggs, etc, to keep us playing and keep coming back for more.

Pronounced "Nay-uss"

I'm not going to say it was the greatest, or most innovative, or even interesting game of all time.

But there was something in its very approachable gameplay that made it stand out. For all its glitches and flaws it still had enough charm to keep me coming back right until the end.

It had what Bungie used to preach about; that '30 seconds of fun' principle, for example, where you'd suddenly dominate the other players and get a killtac, or the mad dash for the hill et al

Those 30 seconds got thrown out of the window with Halo 3 and now Reach; AR charging ended confrontations before you could get a nice streak going and Armour lock replaced 30 seconds of fun with 30 seconds of sitting still, being invincible.

I made some friends on Halo 2 that I'm still very much in touch with now, and although the memories do hide its flaws somewhat, the game itself is very much solid.


It was just...fun to play. That's what it boils down to.

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

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

Everyone here seems to miss the expieriences and fun of Halo 2, I did, so I gotz Halo 2 Vista. If you all get it, we would have more players and it would feel like the xbox version again.

Take a step back with me and enjoy a taste of the bittersweet that is our current generation.

I enjoy Battlefield and Call of Duty, and Gears of War.

Well for one the Legendary difficulty. Playing co-op with a friend on legendary is a blast!The story of Halo 2 was epic. Also the maps were fantastic. But I think most of all it was the community. People actually worked together to win a game, almost everyone had a mic, and most people were over the age of 12. Over time that has been lost with games offering you EXP just for getting a kill.

RIP Halo 2

I can't say that the game itself was better than all of the others, it was just the culture around it that made it so great. Everything just worked just right in Halo 2. Even the biggest glitches in the game made the game more fun. I remember spending hours in custom games with people doing superbounces and getting out of maps. It had just the right amount of weapons. To me, Halo 3 and Reach have way too many unnecessary guns. Halo 2 also introduced the best new stuff to Halo. Boarding enemy vehicles, dual wielding, etc. Halo 3 just brought equipment and Reach just brought in Armor Abilities. It wasn't a flawless game, it's just that its flaws didn't hurt the game at all. Halo 2's era was the golden age of xbox live, to me.

You can fight and all of you will die, or you can not fight, in which case only most of you will die.

Halo 2 had something no other game did... It was very special. I liked everything about Halo 2. EVERYTHING.

  • 04.09.2011 11:08 PM PDT

Everything

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

Campaign, easily.It had the right length, right amount of glitches, and just the chain of events! The music that went along with it was spectacular! Halo 2 was the Halo of all Halos for me.
